Ever wonder why Expert + is even an option on Beat Saber? It's for these people.
Beat Saber is a Virtual Reality game taking the world by storm…or song I should say. The game involves awesome music, cool light shows, dodging glowing walls, and slicing boxes with laser swords to the beat. Friendly to newcomers, the game has a nice learning curve, but some people have mastered the slicing and become freakishly good. Here are the top 10 Beat Saber players you should be in awe of.

Or Taichi. The jury’s out on if this guy is superhuman, but his speed and accuracy are unmatched. He’s #1 in Japan and #1 in the world. Playing at such fast speeds, he knows when it’s worth it to duck under walls or just take the hit and make it up in his score. His videos are insane, and he definitely deserves the number one spot.
