This guy is a slow ass. Start playing freestyle speed. You will attack one region for every 5 regions they take

Thank you for pointing out the utter silliness that is speed freestyle.

To answer your original question, No it is not possible to go that fast... the guy is clearly cheating somehow because that's insanely quick...

Hop scotch takes balance, which means it takes skill for little kids. Speed freestyle is down to best drop, fastest with clickies, and, worst of all, fastest internet. I've never seen somebody win with dial up. That's why they are so addictive. Woodruff is just butt hurt that his PFC skillz aren't great enough to be a master of luck. :D

I'll have you know that my PFC skillz are extraordinarily PFC-ish. Possibly even Sergeant-like on my good days.

well that statement is just not true, there are many players who are slower but better than others

speed freestyle imo takes the most skill when two people are somewhat similar in speed. OFC that is not always true but when it is fs is the most fun to play.

Slower as in 1mbps beating 4mbps, but going back to Adams example, I really don't see dial-up beating adsl's...

Admittedly my meaning may have been lost, but you're not really one to talk...
I meant it could be possible for a person to beat another in fs if they both have broadband internet, but when the difference is between dial-up and adsl, I would assume the odds are pretty stacked for the one with faster internet to win.

Ok, excluding the noobs who come in and cash on round 3 of escalating games and such, it comes down to the above mentioned factors.

no excluding the noobs it comes down to the player who plays best that game or gets helped by the noobs...i used to be twice as fast as prankcall but he still won 2 times as many games as me when we played against each other because he was better. Most people play one game of fs and never play again, those of us who have actually played it know its about more than speed and drop over many games.

Speed is a part of skill as well. You need to train speed to it falls under skill definition. As of internet connection - the same as dice, more or less random and doesn't matter when both have a good one.
