There proof comes straight from the horses mouth. At the end of the video, there are url's to two different websites. The soramimi.egoism.jp one is the one with the proof. The site is in Japanese, but a translation done exposes the truth.

I QUOTE: ZURU is carried out. It is dropping and moving by the emulator till 1/30 second. Save and loading are repeated and recorded during movie record.
When a mistake is saved and made before a dangerous place, it is touch called loading. The translation is poor, but you get the point.

The video was done on an emulator FRAME by FRAME, with constant usage of save states to correct any errors. The only true feat in the whole video is that a person actually took the time to map out every level and know the patterns for all the enemies. Actually performing the task of playing took little skill, however.

The guy that did the video never actually meant for everyone to believe it was a person playing in real time. He also says: I think I am sorry very much so that the dream of the pure person who considered may be ruined.
It should have written beforehand. and I am very sorry to people considered to be a play by people's hand seriously


Also in the translation, it states that it took the guy 2 years to do it. The Japanese must have a lot of free time on their hands.


For a full transcript of the translation (although it is loose), here is a link

I knew it was fake all along
Soramimi....

It's still a pretty damn impressive video, though. Using that emulator takes a lot out of it, thogh.

Perhaps someone should try beating it in 11 minutes without using such an emulator.

The record is quite longer then that. The compilation of all the frames turned into 11 minutes but to put it all together was 2 years according to the article.~Jason

I never even saw it and I was thinking to myself 'probably just levels done one at a time til shortest time possible and then just groupped together.'
