Honestly, the amount of memorization and quick reflexes it takes to play that game should transfer over somewhat; at least the repetition of doing those maps over and over to perfect it would. Good luck to him catching up in game sense -- hopefully Life helps him out.

How funny would it be if he actually turned out to be good at SC2 a year from now?

We'll dig up this old thread and ridicule all the sarcastic doubters.

Playing two games at once has worked out great for Moon, so I see no problem.

Seriously though, kid is fifteen and good at gaming. If he puts his mind to it, he could probably be good in any game.

So cool to have a player from another game transfer over. Never see that happen anymore. Although Kart Rider awesomeness is imba.

the fact that he was top level in a game with a real competitive scene at the age of TEN is plenty of reason to be optimistic about his talent and dedication

As a former top-level TrackMania player, I can somewhat relate to his dedication to be able to start afresh in the rts genre. Hope he does well :D

I love Kart Rider. I miss the days when it was in the Beta in North America. They gave me a shirt for having the fastest time on pyramid mesa :o

Haha I remember playing Kart rider when there was english version out there. It was really fun game and much harder than one would think. Too bad it got closed soon after T_T

Kart Rider design is pretty equivalent to Mario Kart. Doubt the skills needed in that game are going to carry over.

What race is he going to play?

Rainbow Road
