You know how people speedrun, get a WR, then that WR is beaten in most cases weeks or even days later..... This guy is still #1 on the PC leader board for this game in 2021.

It's like watching Michelangelo paint

When you watch you enjoy yourself When you play you destroy yourself What a game

The precise movements and placements, and the ability to memorize all the patterns is very impressive.

CHOOSING to kill the final boss at the last second to max out score? Insane.

This is video game poetry.

Just the amount of patience and determination it must have taken to conquer such a game... You’re truly a legend in my eyes, sir

man the ending is so emotional even though this game barely has any plot. and the writing in those screen messages is so good and also emotional. there is something beautiful in the archetype of self-sacrifice.

This is one of the most impressive video game tapestry ever crafted. This should go into the high museum of art!!!!!!!

Crazy stuff, keeping the chain going through all the chaos is something I've been trying to improve at, and the way you've got the route you take to do it is very insightful.

The police were baffled too. Apparently the person went postal upon hearing his friend utter the phrase 'Energy Max'. More news at 7.

This guy doesnt need an umbrella, he ll just evade all raindrops while not stepping in pavement lines

Well played. The challenge of this game really irritated me once I got to stage 3 I believe it is. Watching this video, I see it's possible to do but the level of concentration and anticipation is very demanding. I get somewhat mesmerized and confused once the screen gets layered with both white and black polarity shots, resulting in my death of course.

Man i can't even max chain the first stage! I doff my cap to you Sir, incredible watch!

This must have taken so many hours to master. Idk if there's a tougher challenge in all of gaming. Beautiful.

Amazing !!! Such a hard game .. .I salute you

This guy is the Leonardo Da Vinci of Ikaruga! I can't even make it pass the second boss TwT

Incredible. Congratulations.

I love how how atmospheric the game is with how the background is moving and all that.

oh god ._. my respect bro, you're a really PRO gamer ._. like it's all i can do

Coming back to this I'm still in awe of the one-person ballet that is this playthrough. Inspiring doesn't even begin to cover it.

Man, I've always been a fan of this kind of shooters. I came here looking for a way to beat a boss, but instead found all the op strats. Damn, how can you change polarity so smoothly? I am fast enough in other games, but this one always find ways to snipe me. I know this run is old, but it is still really awesome

one of the few games I regretted selling on Ebay a few years back :( I loved this game but never could get A status passed stage 3 :D The soundtrack just pumps me up!

People who think Dark Souls is a difficult game/saga clearly haven't played any truly hard game like Ikaruga.

Mate i forgot how much i needed this game. Liked and subbed ya. GaZ

Dude you're amazing, I still have my unfinished save on a dreamcast vmu

Absolutely amazing. I've played this game to hell and back and i couldn't hope to reach this level.

Very nice! My proudest achievement was a one coin clear of this game, and I love how you're using Kagari! Most prefer Ikaruga but I had an easier time seeing Kagari's ship for some reason

Amazing platrhrough for an amazing game with an amazing soundtrack!

the first video that i found no dislike.. my gooosshhh..

So beautiful

People who think touhou is the most insane shmup should play Ikaruga, wouldn't last a second

So satisfying to hear “Energy Max!”

if i had to choose 1 guy to save the world id choose this guy

Art.

I got to <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="730">12:10</a> today with 6 x continues. On EASY MODE. I was pretty chuffed

Very nice

This guy is a GOD :O

I've just managed to clear Ikaruga on hard and scored 30m. Then I watch this video and realise that 35m is possible. Damn. GG to you, I am never going to get anywhere near your score.

LOL, this game is so so crazy... I always loved shmups, but this little beast will always be on another level... I can barrely make it through on normal, but this guy, right here, and all the others before him, is/are just monsters!!!!!! ;-p And I have no words for those who make it dual play with both hands, THAT my friend, was/is pure madness!!!! :-D

Holy shit a pro I was able to get to the last boss with no deaths but you just blew everything out wow!

the level of skills here is insane

Noice!!

This game was damn hard , that’s a crazy run

Impressive

you are the king of world

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1200">20:00</a> Practice level complete!

A fucking chain counter? Dreamcast: Hold my beer.

IkaruGa,, the best GaMe EveR, WorldWide,, 🌏 👌👌👌👌

Now this is the real story about the death of technology

Holy f*** men how long you play that game?? To be like this?

dear god

Do you go outside with an umbrella when it rains or do you just dodge everything?

If this is not TAS, then you just earned the Title of Ultra Instinct!

still a amazing game

This is amazing and i love it. Only thing i don't understand,maybe someone could explain, why does he destroy them in pairs? As in he delibirately shoots down only 3 whited, then 3 blacks. Why so specific?

Haha I've beat battletoads but this game.. I will never reach your level. I know my limit and aptitude. Hats off great playthrough.

It's impossible to believe.

That's insane... I played this game a long time ago... And I was still thinking about, because I wasn't able to pass the second level. Therefore, I decided to take my "revenge" and I bought the game on steam... Damn, I'm just able to go to the boss of the level 2 for now. Therefore, I need to keep playing, and I felt like I was blocked so I was looking for some clues... Damn Sa Suisai plays so well... I'm asking myself if I would be able to finish this game... I guess I should try and give myself a challenge. Finish this game in normal mode is a really accomplishment. For real.

He is The One.

Estas cabron compadre.!!! Bien 👌🏻

Oh my god

I dont know if even deep blue or any futur AI will ever beat that score.

whaaaat //// un real/ !!!!!!!

God himself cannot play this well.

Some people have bullet time abilities..

You Are A Fucking GOD!!!!

Are u some sort of god?

I got a C+ once. Just once. This shit is insane

Not bad

Was this tool assisted ot free play?

I can only pray I remember to watch this video after the next time I take acid. This is beautiful.

How many calories did you burn for this?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1150">19:10</a> OK, now you're just flexing....

What does the robot voice always say? "Excellence"?

pro touhou players ain't got nothing on this guy

Is he human?

Lmao my limit is Chapter 4 in easy mode with 5x lifes.

What console?

What The Fuck?!
