During a recent EsfandTV stream, Twitch streamer HAchubby dazzled viewers with her piano skills. Megalovania, one of the most memorable songs from Undertale, a 2015 2D role-playing video game, was played for a 10-second clip by Cyr and Tectone. After a brief listen, HAchubby perfectly recreated the song on the piano.
The other Twitch streamers were astounded at how well her practice and skill paid off.
Twitch streamer HAchubby said the song sounded difficult, and Tectone advised her to give it her all. The streamer played a few notes after the 10-second clip ended, getting the sound exactly right in her head.
She only spent a few seconds on the keyboard, singing the notes while playing them, trying to get the song in the right order. The Twitch streamer nailed it down quickly, displaying excellent pitch, and her abilities astounded Tectone.
Cyr responded to Tectone by saying that streamers are delusional and live in their own bubbles, believing they are talented, until they meet people who are actually talented on occasions like this. While HAchubby laughed and smiled, Cyr stated that there were likely more talented people in chat than the two of them.
The majority of the comments focused on HAchubby’s ability. Some speculated that she was the first Neuralink Human Test Subject, while others joked that she was downloading music into her brain via Spotify.
She did seem to pick it up quickly, as if she could simply “download” music into her brain and play it back.
Others simply wanted Tectone to stop talking, as he was incredibly annoying to some Redditors, and they couldn’t seem to get away from him.
This performance by Twitch streamer HAchubby sparked a debate about talent vs. skill. Some pointed out that when people say “talent,” they really mean “skill,” while others countered that you don’t need to put in hours of practice; all you need is good hearing and instrument knowledge.
Regardless, no one can deny the amount of effort the Twitch streamer puts in to be able to perform feats like this, and playing the piano, much less picking up a song in just 10 seconds, takes a lot of hard work and practice.
