Yeah, maybe you're right. I remember back before I really played, I would watch videos and be amazed by the flash of feet frenzied feats. I remember seeing fury hit by derek vandall, I could clearly see he was going around it 3 times, two on the way up and one with the other leg on the way down, and I definitely didn't have to slow-mo it to see what the hell he was actually doing. I mean come on, it was obvious, it's not like it's a fast move or anything anyone could understand it.

Now, when he hit a torque I was like, OMG!? wtf was that, his feet were moving like, SUPER duper lightspeed fast and shit I just COULD NOT understand what was going on. I had to watch it a million time before I realized that he was just lifting his leg and spin-jumping into it and catching it on foot. Man, it was crazy hard to wrap my mind around.
