"Insane Cube Tricks" Turn Portal 2 Into Extreme Sport

[samsonguy920]

Valve as much as alluded to the usage of mad skillz in the test chambers with this vid:
This guy just answered the call to action and is showing what is out there. Awesome stuff.

 

[Helios_(DEL)]

What a blockhead!

That is seriously impressive, I couldn't do any of that nearly as fast as he did. I'd get motion sick!

especially in a console controller to.

 

[unacomn]

Cool...how do you do the 're-portaling' technique? Can it be done on PCs?

Yes, it can. I've randomly managed to do it. I don't know exactly when to recast the exit portal, but by spamming the button I managed to get huge height boosts.

 

[Lightning Delight]

Really? you're all impressed? The only thing that crosses my mind is that he has too much time on his hands. I'm not saying I could do it, but I'm also not saying I'd want to bother. It just doesn't strike me as a 'skill'.

Here are some technical defintions for the word "skill":

1. The ability to do something well; expertise.
2. A particular ability.
3. Proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experience.

And that is probably the second coolest thing I've seen evar.

 

[Shapsters]

Good lord, I was just- how did he- it shouldn't even be-

This guy must be Asian!

 

[Pearwood]

Right I'm gonna see if this is a 360 only thing or if I can chuck boxes around like a madman and still get results elsewhere

 

[_Janny_]

Damn, that must have took a lot of trial and error... Impressive. I couldn't find part 2, so I'm guessing he/she is still working on it. Can't wait to see how the more advanced chambers will be tackled.

 

[RA92]

And people were complaining that Portal 2's puzzles had only one solution each?

 

[Xelt]

I'd like to know this, too.

That guy has some mad skills.

Cool...how do you do the 're-portaling' technique? Can it be done on PCs?

I believe it's where you shoot the colour portal your going into, as your going into it. Something...similar to that anyway, not seen too much about it.

 

[tharglet]

I'm getting headaches on the Excursion Funnel sections of the Co-Op campaign, and there are guys doing this? O_O, holy mother of quantum mechanics.

Oh dear - that's gonna make the "Still Alive" achievement even more of an achievement if you go for it ^^

Still alive is to do course 4 (Excursion Funnels) without dying...

 

[Catchy Slogan]

I'm now starting to believe that someone colud beat this game in 4 hours.

 

[vehystrix]

I'm now starting to believe that someone could beat this game in 4 hours.

4 hours? If they can beat portal 1 in under 10 minutes, AND deliver cake, they can beat portal 2 way faster then 4 hours

 

[Simalacrum]

As a toddler, I was amazed by jugglers.

You should still be amazed by jugglers, fool


OT: thats some pretty neat gaming there... might try some of those tricks one day :3

 

[almostgold]

Yeah.... videogames are not an extreme sport....

 

[SnipErlite]

Wow...that was impressive as fuck. Those throws. And the reportalling glitch, I might have to try that out

 

[vxicepickxv]

And people were complaining that Portal 2's puzzles had only one solution each?

They do. It's the technique to the solution that makes Portal 2 fun.

Portal 2 isn't math. There's more than 1 way to get the answer you're looking for. You're all looking for the same answer, just different ways to the answer.

 

[Hosker]

That is impressive, but I can't help but wonder how many attempts he did to get these right.

wut

 

[insanelich]

So, he can throw cubes.

Problem is, he isn't doing anything impressive with that skill. Shame.
