Tony Hawk 1 and T.H.U.G. (3 million point trick). I'm nasty at Harvest Moon and I was awesome at Pokemon when I was 9. I'm good at Pokemon Snap too, not that that counts though.
I haven played Pokemon(Gamboy versions) in a few years but i never lost. I fought over 200 battles with at minimum of 30 people.

I was pretty indistuctable in Shaq Fu (Genesis)too. Thats not that big of a deal because i am probably the only person who invested any real amount of time into it

To start off my post, I'd like to say Hi. I've been a true... uhh... green? classic gamer for awhile, and... uhh... yeah.

What am I really good at? Any Sonic game, Heroes II (77-0), Legend of Zelda: Insert game here, Worms, and the disappointingly non-competitive Shining Force.

I'm legendary at Tekken Tag w/ Hwaorang and Heihachi. Legendary.

Legendary? Where do you play, I wanna see if you really are legendary or not... :)

I hope you live near San Diego...

I am still pretty good at a lot of games. I still am an authority when it comes to Shinobi 3 for genesis. Mega game! I also used to be really good at Virtua Fighter 2 and 3. I played a local VF2 champ back when I was in high school. He thought I put a cheat code in or something b/c I totally kicked his ass every time!

I was really good at the Mortal Kombat series too. I remember the weekend MK3 came out I kept beating this bigger older fella. He actually threatened me. I remember what he said "Do that again and I will kick your ass." It reminded me of Star Wars, "Let the wookie win." So I let that bastard win! I still have all my teeth! Yes!

I don't know if I outright blast through any game, but I'd like to think I'm pretty good at Tetris. My personal records (for Game Boy) have been 152 lines and a score around 70k.

Oh snap!! wonder bwaaah fan in the house!!!

The Mecha Dragon ownz all!!!!

Anyway:
My cousin use to be ridiculously good at gameboy tetris. i once seen him get 242 lines. he always started on level 9. the most i ever got was somewhere around 190. so i guess i am just a slightly above average tetris player. 242, I remember that well, that was just nuts.

Wow. Guess I'm not as good as I thought. :embarrassed:

But one game I did find out I was good at is Columns. I can easily marathon it on Medium settings if I wanted to. I just played a game where I got to 20,000 points (on the Game Gear version), and stopped because I was getting bored.

Me and my dad would have tetris fights. I would stay up real late and leave the nintendo on so he would wake up to see my score. The best I got I remember was 211 lines. That was nutts!!! My dad never beat it.. but oh how he tried.

Not to brag, but I am the absolute master of Castlevania and Contra. I'm referring to the series in general, but I'm especially extraordinary at the original NES games, having beaten both of them on one life.

03-22-2005, 03:59 PM

I am very, very good at Unreal Tournament, including 2004.

Specifically at Zark Rifle and Binslayers. If anyone on here plays clan UT, I was {NYA}Bearmaster. I've since shed the clan tag, and just play 2k4 low grav Zark as Bearmaster or Eru.

I'm wicked good at Starfox 64 deathmatch too, for some strange reason. I just never lose.

I also pwn all in DOA2: Hardcore. Oddly, I suck at DOA3, I just can't play fighters with the Xbox pad for whatever reason.

I'm also pretty good at Gran Turismo, specifically with the wheel. Ever seen someone drift a stock Aston Martin Vanquish? 4000lbs? Oh yeah.

On the other hand, I really suck at a lot of stuff too. I JUST beat the original Super Mario Bros. for the first time ever like a month ago, and not from lack of trying, lol.

I've recently found myself to be quite talented at the Nintendo NES version of Tetris. Over two hundred lines with little problem. Though, 220 is sometimes a problem...

I know a bunch of people have said this, but I AM THE BEST at Super Smash Bros. for the N64. I'll take you all on 8-)
I'm also very good at Goldeneye for the N64 as well, the only person I have ever lost too is this guy that I know. We are equally as good, so sometimes I win, and sometimes I loose.
But, my best talent is in Super Mario Bros. for the NES. I can beat the game in 5:17 ( :angry: curse the man who got 5:10 :angry: ).

I would have to say my #1 best game is Starcraft. Every LAN party I host we play a few games of it lasting hours (Thanks to the UMS portion of the game). I have to struggle to talk everyone into playing 7 vs 1 where I'm solo with or without rules to rushing or limits to what units may be used. No matter how they try or how many games we've played everyone cries about me being master of Starcraft out of most the people we know. Back in highschool in electronics class, I'd go under random nicknames on their IPX games as to not give my identity away. Even the freshmen and juniors that claimed to be masters at the game would crumble at my awesome power. On Battle.Net my record is almost at 2000 wins, under 100 losses, and 90 something disconnects. Most of my games were playing in highschool before so many map hacks and exploits were widely used, such as the stack. Of course I managed to strike back and win against most, but when it became 3+ users back stabbing with the hacks it was too nuts for me to play much more of melee matches.

My second top game would be Time Splitters 2 for the Gamecube. Last year after more of my friends finally got their own copies, we started creating our own levels and would host shoot-em parties to try out one anothers new levels and see who can frag the most in each. Of course I kicked the most ass but my friend Chris came in near second place (He's a Halo guy). Although I haven't beaten all the scenarios or campaigns I run some good stats on my profile (Don't have them infront of me right now). I generally play it all hardest comps vs. me and come out on top with nearly all weapon sets. It's one of my favorite shooters [Close behind are Serious Sam (GC), Quake 2 (N64), and Doom (N64)]. Now, I'm not the best FPS by any means, but against my friends I rule in certain titles (somehow).

Donkey Kong Country- Ran through the game (ignoring all the bonus stages) to beat it in 0:49 in one run.

Earthworm Jim- Beat it without losing a single life (Mega-CD version)

Metal Slug- One life clear. The sixth mission is extremely nerve-wracking when you realise you're really close to beating it without losing a single life!

Back in '99-'00, I was pretty darn good at Pocket Fighter for the Saturn.

A girl I met who was a friend of a friend declared herself the "Queen of Pocket Fighter"; virtually no one could defeat her. She would even talk smack about it. So I challenged her to a few games.

Yeah. I beat her. Pretty badly. Even when she used "her character". I would even pick random characters every time.

It finally got to the point that while we were playing she put the controller down and stated: "I don't wanna play anymore. I'm getting beat at MY game!"

Suffice to say, that was the last time she would play me on Pocket Fighter.

I know, she sounds like a bitch in this story, but she was actually a really nice, sweet person. LOL

I destroy Super Punch Out for the SNES. I can KO Rick Bruiser in 6.04 seconds and Nick Bruiser in 5.7 seconds.

How is that possible? I've never heard of anyone beating those guys that fast.

I've honestly done it with no game genie whatsoever. With Rick Bruiser all you have to do is faze him once and when he casually walks back to fight, hit him with a super puch and it's over! Timing is everything though, and every punch he tries to throw has to be countered.

-Street Fighter 2 (SNES, used to be unstoppable in two-player matches)

-Mega Man II (NES, can beat it without losing a life)

-Play Action Football (Gameboy, I can rack up hundreds of yards on offense and keep the computer in sub-zero yardage)

For some reason, I can get into a "zone" regularly on these babies and run the table.

There was a while where I believed that you had to die to beat that one level in MM2. But it's possible if you skip a few walls, and use an item to get to some platforms. However, I like to have 2 Crash Bomb shots available to me for one of the Dr. Wily battles.

MM3 - definitely possible. I'm sure I've done it, or at least come close.

MM4 - This is probably the easiest of the bunch to defeat without dying.

MM5 - My brother's beaten this one without dying

MM1 - I'd say the hardest of the bunch, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible.

MM6 - This is the one I've played the least, and only a handful of times at that.

In all, it's completely possible to finish all without dying.

Super Mario World, SNES. Not like I can win the game one one life or anything, but I can play from the beginning, and end up thrashing the game with like 50 or 60 lives left over. I never timed it or anything, but I do have some skills at that game.

Arcade-wise, I'd have to say Double Dragon. I can pop a quarter, play through/beat the game in 15 or so minutes, and if even ONE guy lives (even the henchmen that run away at the end after Machine-Gun Willie goes down), then the game is worthless (at least to me). Also, in 2 player mode, I ALWAYS get the girl. (When you do the 1p vs. 2p fight)

There may be a couple more, just not thinking of them right now though.

So three more games I'm really good at:
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot 2

Archon for Atari - Never been beat by a human
Warcraft II - Made it to 47 on the world ladder. There was over 15,000 people on it
QtCTF - Been on 3 OGL #1 ranked teams. 500/1 in one on one rails contests.
Defender - Was one of the best in nation, won several trips. No machine I could not roll.
Discovered glitched that allowed me to go to 999,999 vs 999,899.
Stargate - Harder to roll as it went to 10 million
Cossacks Back to War - not as good as I was at WC2 but pretty decent. Finally beat the ubeatable Matrix (#1 ranked) but he was usually better.

MULE - I'm good but the unpredictable nature of MULE (Which I love) keeps me from winning every game.

I'm getting old and washed up. My days at being the best at anything are behind me.

I rarely had friends, so I rarely played games with friends. However, in the arcade, I absolutely dominated EVERYONE in X-Men Vs Street Fighter. I sent away scores of challengers with broken hopes. Of course, then it came out for home consoles, I stopped going to the arcade, and when I came back I had lost my edge. Oh well.

I also used to crush everyone in Jackie Chan and Fighter's History. My Ray in Fighter's History could beat anyone...to this day, I'm undefeated in that game. Almost everyone would fall victim to my quick punch -> "Dynamite!" combo. And if that wasn't enough, my overuse of short "Wheel Kick!" would put the rest down in short order. Good times. :D

Contra(Nes)
I can get pretty far before I even die. But once I hot the later levels, I die just like everyone else.

Mike Tyson's Punch Out(Nes)
At one time only Mike Tyson himself could beat me because I mastered all the other fighters patterns so well. And although I'm still really good I can't go thru the entire game on one life anymore.

Syphon Filter Series(PS1)
Although the multiplayer in part 2 and 3 sucked, I was really good at it from being really good at the regular single player games.

Bust A Groove(PS1)
I really wish it would have went mainstream like DDR because I would have beaten everyones ass in it. Tell Joe to have it at the next NAVA as a tournament and watch my victims fall one by one.
