Best description ever.

My thought, too. Great description!

It's like watching WWF Vertigo.

I vote "best".

It really reminds me of the drinking mini-game from GTA4. This is very impressive technology. The code must be ridiculously complex.

I vote best.

The title for "worst" IMHO goes to Superman for N64. I got it free, and I still feel gyped. So I vote "best".

Rise..and fall.. and rise of the robots

Come on guys, we've all been there.

I want to see the Sumo match this is copying...

BEST BEST FOREVER BEST!!

It is actually a game http://www.gravitysensation.com/sumotori/

Sumotori Dreams is a small demoscene game created by Peter Sotesz for the Breakpoint 2007 96k game competition (it took first). The premise is simple: two self-balancing physics rigs face off in a sumo ring. The first rig to fall over loses. The implementation is simple but satisfying, and is well supported by solid physics, decent lighting, and good camera work. You can play against a computer opponent, but the real fun is playing Sumotori against a friend on the same keyboard.

Now somebody put them in a convenience store and have them try and buy beers.

That is an incredibly accurate simulation of a world where every surface is covered in ball bearings.

A ha! The beverage isle!

Was this mo-capped at my family's Thanksgiving?

Oh heck yes. I downloaded Sumotori Dreams a couple of years ago. I can't play it for more than a few minutes without losing it. It's so freaking hilarious.

A little more info on what's happening in the video. The round itself is decided after the first few seconds when the blue wrestler hits the mat. After that, the two wrestlers autonomously stand, turn to face each other, and bow. It's typical for the post-round bow to take considerably longer than the round. One very funny thing that happened to me a couple of times was when the two wrestlers ended up facing each other very closely - when they went to bow, they knocked heads and both fell backwards onto their asses, starting the whole silly affair over again.

There's a hidden mode where you throw blocks at one of the figures. He'll stagger and stumble, then right when he's about to get up again, BAM - right in the noggin and down he goes again.

The incredible thing is the size of the executable. This is one of those products of the demo scene that produces amazing things using procedurally-generated content and high-level compression techniques, so that the distributed package is mere kilobytes in size. Sumotori Dreams is only 96k. 96k!

The video above probably streams more data than that in a few seconds.

I recommend you download it immediately and try it out.

Hell yes! I used to play this a couple years ago. Try playing this 2-player with a friend! It's hilarious!

I wish my name were associated with this game. Looks like a career maker.
