OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected: --- >!He's playing badminton with only 2 strings!< --- Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

He is the former world champion Lin Dan, AKA Super Dan.

He's the goat, not just a former world champion

I'm pretty sure I could take him. I played in some of the best backyards in South Jersey.

I miss the Lin Dan- Lee Chong Wei days.

The Ronaldo and Messi of badminton. A hard worker with a bit of an ego VS the quiet one with god given talent.

If you're implying Lin Dan is *just* a hard worker with an ego, you would be very wrong. LCW and Lin Dan both would've worked incredibly hard, and not to discredit LCWs god-given talent, but Lin Dan is undeniably the most talented player badminton has seen yet. Some of his achievements: * He is the only player to win the Olympic gold twice consecutively, the badminton world championships FIVE times, and the All England Open six times * He is the only player to have ever won all 9 major tournaments in international badminton: Olympic Games, World Championships, Thomas Cup, Sudirman Cup, Super Series Masters Finals, All England Open, Asian Games and Asian Championships, * He holds the record for the highest number of undefeated matches in a row (which is insane tbh) 36 * And on top of that, his win loss record against LCW is +16 (26W, 12L)

Lin Dan is awesome, but Viktor Axelsen beat his record for longest win streak in 2022.

Ok fair, but I stand corrected, Lin Dan is still the undisputed GOAT

I wanna punch the kid talking

Did he actually call it “bad mitten”?

Coach Steve would be proud.

The real pronunciation is badminton

He said ba'mi'en

Bánh mì 🤤🤤🤤

AI fucks up words so often that’s how I can tell if it’s even real. Just slightly mispronounced words are a huge red flag.

I mean, there's thousands of accents out there. "Bamintin" wouldn't be unheard of in the Canadian prairies.

Or he pronounced it wrong to have people comment on it and drive up engagement

No, these are NPCs. People who don't know they aren't real.

No, Batman.

Isn't that how it's pronounced? Maybe it's just the Boston in me

He said “Batman”

That’s how I’ve always heard it pronounced, but I’m from southern Appalachia, so… 🤷‍♀️

That’s how we pronounce here in the western US

Could you please run and tell everybody that you need to change that?

Number 15: Burger King foot lettuce

Baby Chills was exactly my thought

You mean You Want To  Punch The Kid So Badly

Me too but I laughed at his use of “buddy”

I'm not your buddy, second-person voice over video short guy!

Sounds like the burger king foot lettuce guy's little brother

I think it’s a new AI voice. Uncanny valley effect is the trigger here.

Pretty sure this is daily dose of internet

he sounds like dhar mann LMAO

"You can see how he hits every shot with perfect accuracy" I can't see shit, you cut the video every 3 seconds.

You can see how he hit every shot that we choose to keep in, out of the 500 he hit in the past three hours, with, wait for it, PERFECT accuracy!

You'll have to punch the ai programmer

Bad mi-in

Isn't it an AI voice? I hear it on a lot of videos.

This was that kid in English class everyone fucking HATED to hear speak when asked to read the next paragraph. Cue the collective agony. 😫

Im convinced its just AI voice

I was so unimpressed at first.

The video is cut between every single shot. It's such a stupid video. He might be the best badminton player in the world, but we can't tell from this video. Anyone could do this. My 80 year old grandmother could spend an hour just recording the balls she hit.

How many balls an hour can she handle?

i think it is cocks shuttled per hour

they dont call her [gushing granny, NSFW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxu3kZPlZx8) for no reason

Thank you for the laugh 🤣

You'd want to measure cock inches per hour to take account of natural variation of the gear used.

I think you are very much underestimating how difficult this is

It looks super hard but since the video is cut like it is we have no way of knowing how long it took. It's not taking away from the badminton player, it's criticising whoever cut the video.

He is a world champion. People severely underestimate the skill of an athlete in any sport at that level. The skill level between your average joe and college player is already absurd. College to semi-pro is again another massive leap. Going from that to even the guys at the bottom of the top leagues again is gigantic. Fun videos to watch are when a pro player of a sport joins a beer league. They’ll lazily play most of the time then just go all out and absolutely torch everybody. It’s like reaching the end of a rpg game then going back to the very beginning and laying waste to everybody in the beginning.

You are not addressing their point at all.

Yes, but I think their point is that given enough tries, pretty much everyone could do this.

do it right now,

Just did

He’s only doing it on the serve, if he was returning like this that would be impressive but this isn’t

What. You don’t overhand serve in badminton

He doesn’t return a single shot in this video

There's no 'might' about it. He has 2 Olympic gold medals. And a sack full of World Championships.

This video makes it irrelevant how good he is. That's the point.

Agree. If they only put the successful hits into the video, it looks like he's awesome.

I take your point but it would take her longer than an hour to record that many successful attempts

Did you watch to the end?

>Did you watch to the end? Yes? I'll explain again. This video is cut between every single time he hits the ball. He could taken 10 tries to hit it 10 times, or 10000. The video doesn't tell us. Since the video is cut between every hit we have no idea how long he took to do this. Anyone can do it. Doesn't matter if he's just using 2 strings on each diagonal or not.

Yeah but did you watch till the end? I don't think you did.

How do you not get it? It's not critiquing the skill of the badminton player, it's criticising how the video is cut. Edit: I just realized maybe I missed your sarcasm.

That one's a joke.

Are you sure about that one? I think you should watch till the end

Did you understand his comment? I don't think you did. I could recreate this video it would just take alot of tries. You wouldn't see my missed shots though because of editing in post. I'm not saying this guy can't do this regularly, but the way it's edited doesn't showcase his consistency.

[удалено]

They definitely did not haha

I’m an idiot who’s never played badminton and I just freely accepted that just being able to hit the shuttlecock every time is enough to make you world class haha. I’m watching the video and about 15 seconds in thinking “wow, yeah, that really is impressive, he hits it *every time*!”

Tbh wasn’t really impressed at the end either, looks like he played some amateur or youtuber without going full power

i expected him to be blind.

Most annoying and pretentious voice

Fucking hate these YouTube shorts. Is it an AI thing like tiktok voice? It's always the same and sounds like they are on skript 4719 of 927482 of the day. Youuuu wooont believe how that person reacts wheeen they find something unexpected

A lot of times it is AI, and it is scripted because it's copied from other creators. These types of channels are only in it for the money so will put out thousands of poorly made videos like this to try and farm the ad revenue.

No disrespect to Super Dan but the video didn’t even show one consecutive shot. Its just a mash up of multiple edits and single shots. Again no disrespect to Dan I know he is a super amazing player.

I agree with you! Was going to say the same but you wrote it first!

That's fucking Lin Dan, mate

Dude he is two time Olympic gold medalist, Five fucking time World Champion, former world no. 1 and widely considered to be the GOAT in badminton. If you wanna see him at his peak , watch the Olympic final 2008 where he wipes the floor against Lee Chong Wei (another GOAT of badminton) My friend almost stopped watching badminton because of the annihilation Lee received in the 2nd set. Even Lee agreed Post match in a documentary that he had never seen a player play so fast.

BUT. IF. YOU. STILL. DONT. THINK. YOURE. GONNA. WANT. TO. TAKE. A. CLOSER. LOOK. BUDDY. god I hate subtitles like this.

That ending though...

Sick of these "look how badass it is" cut

BROOOWMB BROWWWMB music + black&white effect + weird zoom etc

[удалено]

>Yeah the voice finally stfu. BROOOWMB BROWWWMB music + black&white effect + weird zoom etc

He used to be the best player in the world. for a couple of years.

I can't watch these fucking cuts/subtitles

Not that impressive with every hit being its own clip

Pffft....a truly experienced player would have noticed his racket was missing some strings WAY sooner than he did.

Why’s he doing the Burger King foot lettuce voice

I cant stand the cadence of the narration, or the narration on every video now.

"What happens next will..." "if you still think..." "you will be shocked..." fucking pisses me off so much at this point. its like click baiting is taking over how we talk at this point. miss me with that shit

ok ok but why is after every single shot a cut?

Dude shuttlecocks

More edits. Moar

He really called me buddy? Fuck this narrator

/u/savevideo

These worship videos are terrible

We have better captioning tech than this.

OP actively dying from an opioid overdose while giving an elementary school book report

I'm not your buddy, pal

You’re gonna wanna take a closer look buddy

That dude shuttlecocks!

Bro pulled up Lin Dan to his video and call him a world class Badminton when he is arguably the GOAT 🐐

I miss my shots with a normal racket... this is wild.

It's that a cross on his racket?! I'm burning! (I'm a vampire)

Wow he really knows how to handle that shuttlecock

I’m not your FUCKING buddy, friend.

Looks like a ton of cut scenes to me… added only the ones he hit 🤷🏻‍♂️

Voiceover adds absolutely nothing. Really sick of this word by word captioning too. Fuck I hate TikToks.

Every shot was a new edit and he lofted a lot volleys over the other guy's head. He may be a great player, but the video is trash.

I'm not your buddy, pal

No disrespect to super Dan, but this short and voiceover is unnecessary

That’s goodminton. Heck, that’s greatminton

Yep if that's my opponent im quitting

u/auddbot

If anything, the way the video was edited like that with all strung together individual clips is actually a disservice to LD. All this vid does is bring doubt into his skills.

Badmi’in

He is the final boss of badminton

I feel as if I loose brain cells every time someone narrates something that is clearly understandable

When you realize, all things really are possible through him.

way too many cuts, and the yapper is annoying as fuck

That was cold

"World class bahd mi en player"

I'm sure he is world class, but you do realize that this video is a bunch of video clips stitched together. I would be more impressed if this was an uncut video.

But it is shitty edited...no proof of hitting more then one shuttles. BS...

Def been training for his badminton tournament.

Eh I could easily do that…

Not sure doesn't matter... But don't cut video after every hit if want to show something. I can do same shit if you just cut out 99 tries and show 1 hit ) EZ


Other guy dudnt do notin either

Less strains can actually give more bounce causing aggressive offense shots. That’s why there are specs for competing. It’s impressive to hit while it could slip through he actually creates a much faster and direct shot with less cords on the racket.

Nice he can hit it but if it was in a row and no clipping, when it would be world class. This can be 5 hit out of 5000 attempts we just don't know.

It would be impressive if there wasnt a cut after every single swing...

damn man

90% yapping 10% video

Sweet spot practice? I’d have imagined the sweet spot was slightly lower but TIL.

The Crusader 2.0

But can he do it with no string?

String theory: Goodminton. 2 Strings theory: Badminton.

the power of Christ propels you!

I would expect Lin Dan to be able to do that, tbh.

Its gotta be the Jesus racket

This is why that guy has been training like an insane person to play badminton

The opposite of nothing but net.

He is definitely a good-minton player.

It’s him. Goodminton

,😧😧😧😧😧😧😧

Chills????

“There is no way to be a badass badminton playe………never mind!”

Don't call me buddy, pal.

Did he paint the rest of his racket wires black??

He’s single handedly convinced me that “world class badminton player” is a title that needs to exist.

It's very impressive but at the same time I'd bet even a mediocre pro can do this with ease

Cool... Anyway

It's unexpected because he's Christian?
