Just ask game developer Hudson’s human mascot Takahashi Meijin. In his prime, he could press a controller button 16 times in a second, earning him the nickname “16 shot.”
That was when Meijin was 27 years-old. He isn’t 27 anymore. “I will turn 50 in about 2 months,” says Meijin. “And I was 27 when I did the ’16 shot’. Therefore, it is getting more and more difficult to do it at my age. Probably, I can do the ’13 shot’ at best now!”
At this rate, he’ll still be able to do an “11 shot” when he’s in his seventies, which nothing to sneeze at.
