I've been fascinated by this game ever since it came out (Hyper Olympic too). It's always amazing what we found out in the mid to late 80s, where the Easter Eggs are and where there are bonus points. All without the internet. Only by word of mouth, coincidences, trial&Error. Whenever I see a machine, I play it and feel like a teenager. Even if my eyes and my back say otherwise. It's still fun when you play with an equal opponent who also knows it from days gone by. It's just that the Cabs aren't standing around in public everywhere in Germany. @Fly I like your videos and your techniques
That feeling of youth is a big reason why many people collect and play these games. It's a good escape and brings back memories. T&F and HS are high on my list of good memories. I'm glad that you enjoyed the videos. If I have any more noteworthy accomplishments, I'll be sure to post them.
@@FlyHec More successes? More is not really possible :-) I've been trying to teach myself the more than 4-finger technique for a long time. But that somehow fails in the approach. there is no flow. Therefore, the 8-finger technique is absolute madness. Ok, leaf switches are necessary. Not all cabinets with HO/HS are dedicated. Some have standard buttons, some have Leaf switches. The technology is what matters. At home I practice with MAME and Leaf but it's just not the same. It feels wrong when you emulate it. The timings are not right either and the sound/FX -if you know the original- sounds wrong. And worst of all, it's no fun to break your own records via MAME. It's only fun for me to do it on publicly available devices. For the fame/honor....you know :-) I have a HO bootleg, but the cab is a TV Ideal Twinline (ADP Gauselmann Universal video slot machine). The buttons are not that great. In Germany, these devices are no longer in pubs or bars. We have the wrong policy/youth protection/too many rules since 1985. it's terrible. We can only play in "museums". So arcade halls that have to call themselves museums to get around certain legal regulations. And there are not so many of these "museums" in Germany. Most of the machines are privately owned and the prices have become absolutely unaffordable. But that's just life.
Those guides are completely wrong if they are referring to Hyper Sports. But that is true for Track & Field, and I don't alternate on that either. I have the World Record on both, so go figure. Lol. The games do operate differently. On Track & Field, you must release one button before pressing the other. On Hyper Sports that is not so.
great going champ ps saw you at rosemead track invite last year, I was starting the races, I did not get the chance to introduce myself, maybe next year patrick
This works 1, 2, 3 or 4 players. I just did a 4 player game so if I messed up the trick I would have 3 more chances to nail it without starting the game over.
Maaaan your fingers are robotic 🤖 😯😯😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 we used to cheat using a pencil. We hold it over both buttons yet middle finger under it. you only need to hit on side and it would seesaw 😅😅😅😅
I believe it's a hidden feature. I base that on the fact that 45.00 is needed to pass swimming on the 6th loop. Probably less than 1 in 1000 players can do that and I'm not one of them. And remember, I can hit 1660speed/strength on Weightlifting. So maybe no one can do under 45 without it.

Several guides say that you must alternate the run buttons for best speed. I guess you are not alternating them with this technique!

Most excellent. I've been wondering how the person at my local got such low times when I was struggling to get to 55 seconds.
45.xx is my best without the trick. Either a low 43 or high 42 is my best with the trick.

4 player mode only right? Either Way, Very Cool. There must be more for each event. Thanks

Is this a bug in the game or is it a hidden feature?

@@FlyHec Yeah - that makes sense. Weightlifting was a show stopper for me on the 2nd loop because of speed. :(
