Twitch content creator Emiru is known for being a multi-faceted talent, but fans are coming to know the streamer for one more. A recent clip showcases Emiru playing Dance Dance Revolution, and at a seriously impressive skill level.
Konami's long-running music game franchise has been an arcade staple in its 24-year run, which requires players to stand on a platform and hit arrows with their feet timed to high-energy music. The franchise is known for its dance mix versions of songs from artists like Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars, although the artist Emiru dances to is a little more interesting.
In the massively-viewed clip that's amassed well over 200,000 views, Emiru can be seen wearing pizza pajama pants in a flurry of leg movement. Likely on one of the game's highest difficulties, the streamer is nailing an attempt at a rock version of Rick Astley's infamous "Never Gonna Give You Up." Hitting what looks to be a majority of "Perfect" and "Marvelous," two of Dance Dance Revolution's highest marks, Emiru reaches a combo of over 90 before missing a few arrows. Nevertheless, she continues her impressive moves through the remainder of the clip.
Emiru's skills are suprising fans everywhere, with the above post aptly titled "Emiru is a human cheat code." It appears that the popular streamer is making the most of her time since moving into the Austin Streamer House. Emiru joined Asmongold and Mizkif's OTK, or One True King, earlier this year. After previously being with Cloud9, Emiru was officially announced as an OTK member in January, becoming the organization's first female member. The move comes as little surprise to her followers, as she was a frequent OTK collaborator in the months prior.
Emiru's niche video game skills don't end with Dance Dance Revolution. A few months ago, a clip went viral of Emiru schooling Mizkif on the famous Super Mario 64 exploit. The exploit in question is the long jump stair glitch, which allows Mario to launch at high velocity and pass through otherwise impenetrable barriers. After several failed attempts by a frustrated Mizkif, Emiru is handed the controller and successfully does the glitch on her first try, showing just how far-reaching the cosplayer and streamer's gaming skills really are.
While Dance Dance Revolution has fallen a bit out of prominence in recent years, big-name streamers showcasing playing the iconic arcade title may help bring it more attention. With Emiru's undoubtedly impressive Dance Dance Revolution skills, she may just have what it takes to hit a Guiness World Record-level time, though probably not at that difficulty.
