And they still wouldn't be if they ever decided to do a port of NG. Just reboot and bring back Itagaki

I think they found their bread and butter in DOA costume packs and people who like waifus. Can't imagine how hard all versions of NG3 flopped and after Hayashi's attempts, can't even be excited about NG4.
I reached Axis Mundi, but could never clear it. I didn't know it was bugged.
Bullet Hell Shooter records are pretty much always impressive to watch.
Trying to keep up with that video makes me dizzy.

Having played and been frustrated by IIDX's harsh timing windows and difficulty, something like

is almost impossible to comprehend.

How does this even work? In the last Boss Fight so many bullets seem to pierce him, yet he doesn't die. How tiny is his actual hitbox?
Actual hitbox is very small. Like a few pixels basically.
I wasted to get the "Gemini" trophy (run 10 two-player courses, I think) in Wipeout HD and my better haf had no desire to play it, so I took on the challenge of handling both controllers at once, and trying to get both the 1st and 2nd positions. I succeeded.
I thought I had accomplished something until I found out about one-man, two-player Ikaruga. That guy is insane.
I totally agree with you but I like to pretend anything beyond 2 never happened. It would be nice if 1 and 2 came to PC simply because at some point it won't be viable to get an Xbox or a 360 which is kind of a shame.
That would be awesome, though they would likely be the Sigma versions.
NG1+2 with edition select that contained everything would be pretty goddamn amazing though!!!

Nice, I started practicing this for a while but yeah, it is quite hard. Even though I failed some times, people looked at me like "what the fuck are you doing?"
Sneaky Edit: Not on Ikaruga though, it was another shoot 'em up, an easier one.
I liked Sigma 1 but Sigma 2 was really watered down. Well except for the coop Challenge mode that was really really cool.
So yeah totally, edition select would a god send. I would love this.
Edit: in regards to the OP, I'm watching the 4 videos right now, the stuff he does in the first video at around 50 minutes up to and including the boss is pretty mind boggling. I'd be shitting my pants the whole time worried about not getting hit. Fuck me, this guy is nuts. Right in the feels. This video brings me back and I'm sweating for him lol. And some of the moves he does, I didn't even know existed.
Also, he's really smart with the dismemberment for crowd control.

This is incredible no doubt, but I wonder if he would perform like this if this version didn't show 3 pieces ahead.
I'm still in awe at how fast he processes the moves and translates it to hand movement.

F-Zero GX Very Hard speedrun (starts at 7 minutes in). At some points it feels like it's impossible to react to what's happening and he's just responding via muscle memory or something.
The super play videos of NSMBU. Those Mario club people must have some sort of superpowers.

Honestly, this isn't too hard. I can pretty much do this every time I boot the game up without trouble. Now, there are people who can play the bonus mode at the end of the game without issue, those people get a mark of respect from me. My record is something like 96 seconds.
Another fun Super Hexagon challenge is to start from Hexagon and work your way through all the stages, something I've only done once (but don't try it that often anyway to be fair).
All of these things are easy mode compared to some of the stuff shown here, though.
In Chapter 5, video 2, at the 19 minute mark he glitches it out by running underwater somehow to save time and gets out by vaulting off an enemy's head. I don't even...
He went under the map at the 23 minute mark! What is this sorcery?
He runs underwater again at 25 minutes! How is he doing this?

What the heck!
It like his hands are moving in fast forward or something. This is insane! Maybe even crazier than Invisible Tetris.

Phoon too much for zblock is still one of my favorite videos of all time, to be that good at bunny hopping and not be hacking you literally have to be some next level savant.

I would love to be this good with about a quarter of the effort it took these guys to get there LOL!!! amazing
I was ready to be impressed but hes just using a shield that absorbs all the bullets
edit: on second look, i think there's some game mechanic I overlooked, color of the shield for the bullets?
This stage from Kaizo Mario World: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmfvpiTWStA
The level designer is amazing for actually coming up with such a goddamn sadistic level.
The designer's friend is amazing for having the skill and patience to beat it. And for having the grace to not kill his designer friend for doing this to him.

I love that Tetris video.
TGM3 is so damn good. The definitive Tetris.

In Ikaruga you absorb the bullets with a shield of the same color (red/black or blue/white). You do this to build up energy for your special weapon. So he has to make sure that he's switching to the right color at the right time on both ships to absorb those bullets. You only take damage by getting hit by a bullet of the opposite color of your shield. Your bullets also change colors when you switch shields, and the opposite enemy color causes double damage.
Lost him to Nintendo and that extremely rough Devils third game.
Never get tired of watching this. So good!
My favorite gaming feat of the year goes to SnakeEyez OCVing the entire opposing 5 man team from NorCal with a then low-tier Zangief.

Up until the speed-up I was thinking how I could see that. After the speed-up though, like WTF.
Then it got literally invisible. That's not possible.

1.01 is the most ridiculous mode ever... I tried to replicate original and maniac clears and faceplanted so hard it's insane.
even though it's not as impressive, I'd also like to throw out MON's ddpdoj death label clear since he was the first person to do it in a 10 year span

this is great as well. I've been trying to play some tetris: the grand master ace on 360 and fail to get past stage 7 which isn't even 100/100 lmao.

How in the world? And done Live to boot.
I know right!? The game is insanely fast paced and all the tricks he does are so high risk. Amazing run.
Its hard to understand IIDX players like DOLCE to begin with lol

The double playing Ikaruga guy also did a run of Chapter 3 too:

gief was never low tier. He's been consistently a mid tier character in sf4. It's just that his matchups are usually either really good or really bad, very little in between.
Just wow. I don't even believe this is real. It can't be.

yup, my reaction.
He did more than just Chapter 3:

Search VTF-INO and you'll find a few videos of other games as well.

Wait, you're the kid that I told to come to my buddy's house! He scared you shitless, lol. But you got lucky at the tourney bro.

I still think the NG II vid is more impressive. He literally didn't take a single hit over the course of an entire game. On it's hardest settings too.
Keep in mind that the Ninja Gaiden is a segmented run. He didn't go through the entire game without taking damage in one go, he saved at the beggining of specific sections and tried over and over to do a no-damage run. Of course, it's still mighty impressive.

Doss this count as impressive: i can get through rock tunnel and silver cave in the pokemon games without the use of flash. I can do this in the time it will take you to get through both caves with flash.
