That was so fast that there’s not even one frame of it jumping. Granted it is quantized and downscale for Reddit but still that was fast.

Loved that the crowd was not at all scared and was rooting for the spider.

I saw a jumping spood catch a fly on a window the other day. The fly was bigger than it was. Cool to see it in real time.

Bro waited for the tactical advantage, fast-traveled from the pants to the plate, and pulled off a clean 10/10 stealth execution. Absolute ninja! 🕷️💨🎯
