Is it possible to beat Arkanoid with the normal NES Controller?

So I saw the WR holder to beat it with a Vaus controller, that not all people has. And I think another runner also beat it with the Vaus controller. For that crazy speed for the balls.

So if a person trys with a normal NES controller, he won't have a chance? Is impossible to beat this game with a normal controller?

Thanks for the support.

Theoretically it is possible, I think the current TAS may be using controller inputs. If you used the continue code it also wouldn't be too bad.

Trying to 1CC with just the controller probably isn't realistic though. The movement is too slow for the crazy ball speed. Even manipulations would be much more difficult, a 1 frame tap still moves the paddle 3 pixels, so some pixels you can't even get to. With the vaus controller you have pixel perfect control
