Ryu's trials present a unique execution challenge in this 2010 video from desk, who completes the entire trial sequence using only one hand. What might seem like a constraint becomes the focal point—watching someone navigate frame-tight inputs and complex button combinations with a single hand forces attention on pure mechanical skill and problem-solving. Trials 21 and 24 proved the most demanding, nearly derailing the attempt, but persistence won out. The video's casual framing—an hour of initial planning followed by a half-hour recording session—contrasts sharply with the technical precision required. Comments from viewers reveal the broader impact: some noted they struggle with the same trials using all their limbs, while others drew inspiration from the feat itself. The accompanying Project Dolphin soundtrack complements the focused, deliberate pace of the attempts. This isn't a flashy combo video or competitive showcase; it's a documentation of what becomes possible when someone commits to working within unconventional constraints and refuses to back down on the hardest sections.
Music: "If we put our minds to it, we're capable of doing some incredibly pointless things" For anyone interested. I had the idea, spent about an hour going through the trials to see if it was doable. Then recorded this the next day in about half an hour (including the time spent starting and stopping my shitty camera). 21 and 24 were the hardest, almost made me reconsider…
