    So basically, this is a pokemon playthrough where the chat decides literally every button input, with the standard twitch delay for extra fun. Suprisingly enough, they've actually somehow managed to get three badges.

    It looks like they are trying to prove that it is possible to play through the game by mere random button smashing.

    It was pretty good when there were only a couple thousand viewers but it's a bit crazy with the amount of viewers over the last 2 days.

    I think it would be more fun to see two twitch channels battle each other in street fighter 2, but I might be wrong.

    I don't like what they've done with the input system, 5 seconds per action is too slow.

    It certainly is, with 50,000 people only able to input 1000 actions every 5 seconds, how will any progress be made?

    All hail our lord and saviour, Helix Fossil.

    Yeah, I've wasted a lot of time in there over the past few days.

    The amount of inputs to finish this game is ENORMOUS (trust me, i played AND finished it...).
    No way it can succeed with random people typing random things.
    It will always need a guy more or less alone that manage to save the day and advance.

    With some kind of platformer it could possible...
    Twitch Super Mario !

    If they beat Lt Surge gym I'm confident they can (eventually) beat the game.

    Also, they are legit catching up, I'm confident they can make it by perhaps tomorrow:

    Also they have made a new anarchy/democracy gamemode to decide on voted inputs.

    I think most of us have played those games. (and who would not finished them?!) I'd say it is possible for them. They are damn crazy slow, but they are a bit further every time I check out the stream.
