What do you think it takes to beat N? You can check out two answers.

talent and lots of free time.

Talent comes with patience and lots of free time.

I think the overwhelming winners here are going to be patience and lots of free time.

You need a heck of a lot of patience and time. Especially when you could be spending well over one hundred hours trying to complete the game.

Patients and a Good Computer.

I can't tell you how many times I couldn't beat a level, and then the game starts radomly lagging all of the sudden. like it's saying 'Oh hey, he sucks. Let's make him cry by lagging the game'. SO ANNOYING!!!

Also, patients because I actually got throough tears to beat some of the levels.

Balls, patience, and a lag-burst-free computer.

I'd say mostly time and patience, but all of them play a significant part.

Patience and Good planning.
You do nothing but dodge.Face it.

By the way if you think anything should be added to this list please PM me with your idea and maybe it will be added. If not, just check out the 'Other'.

other = boredom.

patience, definetely, i also said good comp. but i think i should have said something else...

Other.

But only because 'all of the above' isn't an option.

I've done all 200 episodes - it takes talent - but you get better when you've played more levels anyway. I have quite a bit of time but I usually do a few episodes a day. Unfortunately my computer's been reset, so I need to do all 200 episodes again :P
But yeah, time and talent, and obviously some patience too. If by good timing you mean on the actual levels then you'll probably need that too.

I'm at the 56th episode right now,yep you need patience and you develop the skill yourself to beat it when you play it too much.

free time and patience the two things i dont have, that's why i speedrun

not as much actually

i can play well enough on my friend's computer

i don't have enough time over there to beat the game but it doesn't make that much of a difference

Boredom doesn't really help to beat N, when you're bored you usually find more active things to do (or at least I try to)

but if I could choose a third it would be a good keyboard with a good shift key

Good keyboard and shift key is included in 'Good Computer'. Like, except for the new touch screen computers, nearly all computers have keyboards.

Fine, I'll make a 'all of the above' =P
Wait, no, that would defy the point of having 'only two answers you can check out'. I guess you should try to find the two most crucial ones.

I actually used S for jump, and along with J&L for movement, it looks like I'm typing in class.

And I chose patience and free time. I have patience, but no free time, which is why I haven't completed it.

i voted for talent and lots of free time but i have more than one answer.

talent, lots of free time, precision, and patience.

I'd say persistence, which I guess is a product of patience and free time.

Blood, sweat and tears.

If by 'good computer', you mean, semi-functioning one, then that is the most important. If you suck, and you make it to MTI, and you get frustrated because you have no patience, you can leave the computer open and try again later. Unless, of course, your computer turns itself off due to shitty heating issues every two hours. Or, if your computer is horrible and laggy, you'll often be dead before you have a chance to respond.

Patience and lots of free time. I never suffered from some lagging issues, but if you do, remember that you can set the visual quality a bit lower.

Patience and lots of free time, I sez.

Something with caffeine also helps.
