Can we test Champion Video Game players to find out if they're human?

Not human. He can't be human. (http://media.shoryuken.com/srk-daigo.zip)

Basically, this is from the finals of a Street Fighter 3rd Strike World Championship tournament, with the players taking Chun Li and Ken.

3rd Strike added something new to the series, parrying. You have to press the proper direction on the joystick within some sick amount of time (I think 10 milliseconds), if so, you parry the attack, taking no damage (regular blocks do a tiny bit of damage.

So, in this game, Ken has NO health remaining. A single hit. a Block, anything will lose him the round.

And Chun-Li's just launched her super attack, which deals 14 hits. He has to parry EACH AND EVERY one of them, or he loses the round.

And he does it. With the crowd going BERZERK behind him

Then he launches his own super to win the round, and the crowd goes nuts.

Awesome. Simply awesome.

I would feel uncomfortable with 100 people watching me hit the "Simulate Week" button on FOF. But I would appreciate the jubilation every time my team won a football game or they see a project DT's ratings jump 30 points when I start a new season.

Here goes Dutch....he hits the Sim Week button.....and he wins the game 20-19!

the funny thing is that's starting to happen more and more. Playing video games is actually starting, slowly, very slowly to become a professional sport.
