What Game Are You Really Good At?

[game-o_v_e_r]

Okay guys and gals what is the one game for whatever system, do you always win at no matter what?

You know the game that you always beat your friends at no matter how much they practice at home, the game you send them home crying about for weeks.

mine would have to be mario cart for the N-64. My only pitfall is I have to be Yoshi to win, but no matter what level I play I win about 98.99% of the time.

[hezeuschrist]

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo for PSX.

[WiseSalesman]

I used to be RIDICULOUSLY good at N64 Super Smash Bros. I was to the point where I could take on veteran players and defeat them without ever taking a hit. Unfortunately, when Melee came out, I played a lot more of that. It playes just similarly and differently enough to throw off my rhythm. Now I've lost most of my Smash Bros. skill, and I'm pretty good at Melee, but nowhere NEAR where I used to be with the original.

Also, I'm pretty damn good at DDR.

[Drexel923]

No one I know can beat me at Smash Bros for either N64 or Gamecube. I think I've lost twice...once was when someone got real lucky and the other was when my three friends ganged up on me...and they still only beat me with one life left. There's a couple of other games I'm really good at but not like this.

Edit: oh, how could I forget...I'll destroy anyone in Tony Hawk 1 and 2. I can't remember my high scores off the top of my head, but they're way up there. It got to the point where I could do it with my eyes closed.

[Videogamerdaryll]

Halo...But that just because my friends just suck..

Gran Turismo 3..I'm really good at it..and other racing games...
but my friends suck at racing games too...

Steel Battalion..I have that controller mastered and i'm pretty good at the game...

Otherwise..Basically every game that I play with my friends,I can beat them at..
I'm not a great gamer..I just need new friends.. x_x

[NE146]

I'm relatively good at Robotron (high score over a million. avg. about 500k). And moderately good at Defender (avg. score 30-60k). Those are far from blockbuster high scores I know, but they're better than your average everyday player. :)

However, I AM good at Space Invaders. I have been since I was about 10. Matter of fact I figured out myself the trick to getting an extra man by shooting the invaders in 55 shots or less (or by rolling over the shot counter) in SI part 2/Deluxe. As far as I knew I was the only one who knew that trick (or even cared) until I "broke the story" on the net about 2 or 3 years ago and now it's in all the standard S.I. easter egg docs. 8-) I can't remember my high score but when I was a kid I could pretty much play indefinitely if I wanted with my high being around 120k (flipped the score over 10x). On Space Invaders Deluxe/Part 2.. I'm not as good however :embarrassed:

I'm also pretty good at Donkey Kong and Zookeeper.

Oh and I kill at Street Fighter 2 using E. Honda. But the problem with SF2 is that everyone and their brother thinks their good (and they're usually right). Since everyone has mastered the game to a certain point the only way to tell is to FIGHT :D

[zektor]

Space Harrier. You name it. Arcade, SMS, TG16, Sega Genesis...I excel and that game in all of it's forms! :)

[davidbrit2]

Guitar Freaks. It's quite scary. Nobody I've ever met can even touch my scores. They're out there. Somewhere.

[petewhitley]

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

[hydr0x]

FIFA Soccer series, i can't remember any loss :o)
NES World Class Soccer (eh lol is this the name? i'm never able to remember it's true name, ya know, the one from nintendo), i think i won 99% of my games against cameroon with 50-0 or higher
Super Off-Road NES/SNES, noone could beat me there, finished it several times without any problems, just needs some time :)

[Starcade]

I am very talented in the art of Tony Hawk Games, I can pull 800k+ combos with just a bit of trouble, I know there are better than me, but I am skilled.

[BIGMIKE]

international track and field psx
cant be beat wont be beat

[maxlords]

Hmmmmmm....have to say Rock N' Roll Racing for SNES. I kick ASS at that game, every time. My friends started refusing to play it against me at all! :(

[Arqueologia_Digital]

I´m very good at Ms. Pac man and Marvel Vs. Capcom series... 8-)

[WiseSalesman]

Drexel, you and I need to meet somewhere for a BATTLE OF THE AGES! :D

[Drexel923]

Drexel, you and I need to meet somewhere for a BATTLE OF THE AGES! :D

your on...if I ever find myself in Cleveland I'll be sure to take you up on that. if you stop by Philly let me know. Battle of the Ages indeed. 8-) :D

[DarkSoul]

Without a doubt, my game is Half Life for the PC. I play mostly Day of Defeat these days, but I'm by far the best at the unmodded game. I'm generally "good" at FPS's, nothing more, usually able to finish top or at least up there in random internet games, but for some reason with classic Half Life specifically, I can usually completely shred, doubling the next highest score in random people games (...Except of course when the horrible annoyance of cheaters raises it's ugly head), or at least making it to the finals in tournements at various Cons and festivals.

Wee

</toot-own-horn>

[Arrrhalomynn]

I used to be a master in Need for Speed 3 for the psx, but over time I lost some of my skills.

I'm also rather good at tetris dx for the gbc. My highest score is 2.5 million.
Or maybe that's not good, I don't have much to compare it to.

[lasasuna]

Sensible Soccer for the Commodore Amiga 500+. Any version. I don't think I have ever lost a match to a human on this game. They should hold a World Championships... :-D

[DDCecil]

Ninja Gaiden 2, of course. STILL waiting for someone to kick my butt at it...

[boatofcar]

Addams Family for SNES. No one I know has even ever played the game before, but during my prime in high school I beat it literally every day.

[Alex Kidd]

Doom. On the PC.

I can take anyone, anywhere, any map, with just a chainsaw or fist with berserk pack.

I was pretty good with Quake II as well...

Alex Kidd

[nesman85]

i had goldeneye 007 mastered but then didn't play it for a long time and lost my touch, then perfect dark came along and the same thing happened with that. i am also pretty good at mario kart, especially the mario raceway.

[TheJuggala]

Im insanely good at Goldeneye for N64. No one can beat me unless the double or triple team me. It was great because i memorized the cycle where everyone would appear when they died, same with all the diff. weapons with all the levels

No Mercy for the N64 is another game that i mastered. Me and my best friend both created wrestlers that we can win any match in under 45 seconds. Man i love those games.

[slapdash]

Bump N Jump, the arcade game. Let's face it, as a videogamer, I'm pretty mediocre, and was even before my reflexes started slowing down. But I got good at Bump N Jump. It's the only arcade game I've ever rolled, and I've done it a few times. If I'd had more consistent practice & study, I might possibly have had a shot at the record (there's not much at Twin Galaxies, but I could easily grab 4th place I think -- the only trick is that I usually play with free cars granted, so I'd still have to have a lucky game; the top 3 are WAY up there, so I don't think I could beat them anymore).

Of course, the game is 20 years old, and I STILL can't entirely figure out the AI in this game... I can't help but wonder how Billy Mitchell would do at it...

[tynstar]

NHLPA 93. And pretty much all hockey games

[Kroogah]

Currently I kick ass at Def Jam Vendetta, got 2nd in a local tournament because the 1st place winner cheated to unlock DMX....^_^

Most of the DDR freaks I know are better than me, but that's OK because I slaughter all of them at Beatmania IIDX, Guitar Freaks, Pop'n Music, and Drummania. LOL

And I've beaten every boxer in Super Punch-Out in 24.01 seconds or less.

[WiseSalesman]

Hmmm...forgot about Super Punch-Out!. I'm not as good as Yashiro, but I'm better than anyone else I know.

[NE146]

I'm not especially good at Guitar Freaks but I can play the tunes on a real guitar if that counts for anything :D

[swlovinist]

Robotron 2084, I can score a million and a half.......
Galaga, I can get to wave 22 with a score of 156,000.....
I have to say that my speciality would be Super Monkey Ball(first one)
I can get 4960 pts in monkey target on a 5 round game. No cheats! If there is someone who can top that, please let me know so I feel my age!

[punkoffgirl]

Oils Well for the Colecovision. I can regularly kick butt on it :)

[brandver3]

I gots the mad phat Puzzle Fighter, Pokemon, and Soul Calibur skillz.

Word

[Savedman]

Adventure :embarrassed: I own lots of games I'm just not very good at many of them

[Needle]

Anyone remember Space Panic for the Coleco Vision? I used to tear up that game at a very young age. I'd purposely let aliens get out of their holes so they'd transform into harder aliens, then drop them on top of each other for major bonus points...

Usually when I start a game of Contra, I'll use the 30-life Konami Code. I don't know why, because when the game is done, I end up with 40 lives. LOL

While we're on old Konami NES games, I've beaten Life Force without dying - even through the ending corridor with the fast scroll and protruding beams.

And, just because I'm reminded of it, I've looped the score counter on Space Fury for the Coleco on many occasions.

[themessage]

NBA Jam on Genesis, my record is something like [350-0] on the score screen

Quake 3(1v1 dm, osp ctf, ctfs, ra) - quit because I played it way too much in a good 3 year span ;/

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, as Scorpion...PS2

Although you can't really master Sonic 2 on the Genesis, I feel I played it way too much, and finished it many times.

Gameday 2000...PSX

1080 Snowboarding...N64, my times aren't the greatest, but they're pretty good

Completely mastered Tom Clancy's: Splinter Cell... Xbox version of course. I think I know more about this game than anyone could dream of.
I wrote a one kill FAQ too :p
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox/game/30535.html

[themessage]

Oh yeah, word munchers and fraction munchers on the ..Apple IIe.. I think. Nobody in my primary school could beat my scores.

[brandver3]

Now that I think about it, there was an old PC tank game called "scorched earth". In middle school I was fucking awesome at that game. And it was a great game. It was all on the same screen, and the object was to blow up the other tanks (duh). YOu had a war fund and could by weapons, or fuel to move or sheilds and the like. You could by a digger missle and dig the ground out from unger the person and let them fall to death. Its alot like Worms, but I just don't get the same enjoyment from Worms as I did Scorch.

If anyone has seen this game or has one on their computer, please let me know, I really want a copy of it.

[Roganjohn]

Super Mario World for SNES.

SFII Turbo for SNES

I condensed the list down to 2 (from about 6 or 7 that i really play a lot). i pretty much own those games. :D

[RetroYoungen]

I am a sort of gaming wizard when it comes to Star Fox 64. I have beaten people with such huge handicaps on that it's just not even fun anymore. I also really good at Kirby's Adventure for the NES. I know it's an easy game, but all of the miin-games and extras keep me getting better and better! :-D

[Anonymous]

World Heroes for the Neo Geo. I know, I know.

I can beat anyone with any character. What a wasted gift *sigh*

[Retsudo]

Back in the day, I could play 1 hour and a half on one quarter on Defender Stargate...boy was I the Shizznick back then :D

Im very good at any Tekken game. With most characters. And I dont Button mash :/ People dont play me for money anymore. They run like little bitches when I enter the Tekken.

I use to be a terror with SF2, but those days are passed :(

[RobDog]

Definently Soul Calibur for DC. My brother is the only person who has EVER beaten me at that game. I'd say me and him are pretty equal at it, but nobody else ever seems to come close no matter how good they say they are at it :)
I also used to play my friend in Virtua Tennis and i used to get him angry to the point where he would throw the controller down and just quit playing.

[o2william]

I used to really excel at Castlevania; I'd routinely beat it without taking 1 hit. Ditto Ninja Gaiden. But I've let my skills lapse.... It's the same with Robotron, where I could top 1 million most games, and Defender, where I could reach 100K more often than not. Now I'm sure I couldn't do half as well.

I also used to be fantastic at Tetris. I remember wowing my friends by keeping the playfield mostly brick-free at the "zero reaction time" later levels. Ahh, memories. :)

[anagrama]

I ownz Pang.

[dreamcaster]

Just a couple to mention:

Top Gear Rally (N64)
Stunt Race FX (SNES)
Super Mario Kart (SNES)

Yes, I'm only good at racers!

[ApolloBoy]

Quake 2.

[Duncan]

First and foremost, a message to a fellow Scorched Earth fan! (I thought me, my brother and a couple of close friends were the only ones...) I have the original DOS version on my PC, "SCORCH.EXE". It doesn't work in a shell window, though, which is annoying. However, it works. Drop me a PM and I'll see if I can't send it to you. :)

Anyhoo, I'd have to say I'm pretty damn good at the old side-scroller Sonic games. Not in terms of rings, scoring or Chaos Emerald collection, but just in sheer speed. I'm pretty much able to beat Sonic 1 and 2 in about 45 minutes apiece, using maybe one continue. I don't know that anyone's ever kept track of completion times for Sonic, but given the theme of the series (he's a 760mph Hedgehog, for God's sake) I think it's worth cataloging.

Which makes me think -- there ought to be a standardized Video Game Aptitude Test of some sort. After all, most of us have played the "standards" -- Street Fighter II, Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, Gran Turismo, etc. Someone needs to put together a "quiz" to test people's skills in these important gaming milestones. Anyone agree?

Duncan :D

[jose.yoshitake]

Some years ago I was unbeatable on Street Fighter 2 for SNES.

Beating everyone with just one hand, finishing without losing any round with all fighters...

Good old days....

[Odin]

I tend to have a knack for owning all my friends in Tetris/Puzzle Bobble/Puyo Puyo and any of those type of puzzle games. Back in the day, I used to own at Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat 2. Used to play for hours at the arcade and very rarily lose. I was pretty good at SF2 back then, too. I remember I kept beating my friends and the one got so frustrated that he threw his controller at me and kicked me out of his house. Haha... good times, good times.

[atomicthumbs]

I have to say I rock when it comes to Bionic Commando on the NES and Tomb Raider II on the PSone...

[Gamemaster_ca_2003]

I am very good at tetris any version.

A few nights ago scored 250k+ starting on level 0 on the NES Nintendo version.[/img]

[racecar]

gigawing and contra > just remember the pattern of the shots !!!

[briskbc]

SSX Tricky is my game. I never get sick of it and I can slay any one I know.

[LAGO]

I'd have to say I am ok at SFII turbo for the snes. Heard a couple other people mention it too ... it'd be fun to get everybody together and play ... man the competition would be fierce.

[LiquidX01]

I own most people in Unreal, whether on Xbox or the computer. Its one of the few games Im consistantly good at. :evil:

[vintagegamecrazy]

I can finish Spelunker for NES!
I can finish Battletoads without continuing on Genesis
and It doesn't matter what version of Tetris I play, I can easily take high scores and beat anyone easily. I wowed several of my friends (who also rock at gaming) in the arcades.

[max 330 mega]

i guess the only 2 player head to head game i could name that im pretty good at and beat my friends at is bust a move.

[El CiF]

i always thought i was good at starcraft. i played online all the time and my record was pretty good, i think it was like 135/29. i dont think thats incredibly good but i had some people tell me that i was really good.
also Halo. i will own in halo 2

[jgenotte]

Wow, my answers here reflect my answers from the "Hours Logged" topic. LOL

Progect Gotham Racing 2 - I am really, really good (not the best by any stretch of the imagination, but i race with the best). Think your good, lets meet on x-box live sometime, I'd love a good race.

Contra - Can sometimes beet it without dying.

Star Controll - Mele mode. So much fun!

[Jive3D]

I'm a god when it comes to Wipeout XL.

currently training at the dojo of Katamari Damanci ^_^.

[imanerd0011]

"I used to really excel at Castlevania; I'd routinely beat it without taking 1 hit. Ditto Ninja Gaiden."

No way , beating Ninja Gaiden without taking a hit is impossible. I want to see this.

Anyways , I used to be pretty good at Tony Hawk 2 , and Tony Hawk 3 . My high score in THPS2 is over a million for one trick , and in THPS3 I got over 25 million for 1 trick .
I can also beat contra without dying sometimes , and most of the time I only die about 1 or 2 times. Same with Super C. I also beat Super Mario Bros 3 in around 13:30 , without taking a hit.

[studvicious]

Like a lot of you, I too have mastered the greatness that is Tony Hawk. (1 million points+ for one linked trick)

[delafro]

NHL Hitz 2003. If I don't win by more than 10 goals, it's a dissapointment.

[Black_Tiger]

For me it's RPG's the most.

Not only do I blaze through them at ridiculously low levels, I can't help but be so stingy with recovery items that I save them until the very last boss in a game, thinking that they're too valuable.

But I'm usually so conservative that I don't even end up using them at the end anyways.

I can't help it, it's obsessive complusion.

I now try to make a concious effort to remember to use stuff, most recently with Castlevania Aria Of Sorrrow on Hard Mode(I actual use regular potions now).

[videogameking26]

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (PS2)

DeadStalkers 3 (PSX)

Arch Rivals (SNES)

Super Smash Brothers Melee (GCN)

Ford Racing 2 (Xbox)

[om3ga]

Goldeneye 007 + Mario Kart 64.

I have even touraments with these games =P

[Promophile]

I'm pretty good at Survival Horror games. I'm not a GOD that can beat REs with the knife, but I'm not bad.

[8-Bit Master]

I'm pretty good at Donkey Kong. I can beat the first level of some versions blindfolded. I can beat the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES in just over 5 mins, which isn't a world record time or anything, but it isn't too shabby. I've also beaten almost every Castlevania game ever made.

For more recent games that I'm pretty good at I'd say, Goldeneye and Super Smash Bros. (and Melee).

[Barbarianoutkast85]

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 well at least I used to be havent played it in a while. And im really good at two one player games...Boogerman *Genesis* and Parappa the rapper *PS1*

[demented-yoshi]

Smash bros meele

Super mario bros

Tetris

I once new this kid who was like ten who kicked the shit out of all 3 of us 14 year olds even when we ganged up on him that was in the smash bros 64 I played him a few years later and everyone sucks at it the controls seem so blocky and slow now well to much new stuff is bad.

[ldkspardante]

All Smash Bros. (3 Lv.9 comps is cake), Halo, and Power Stone

[Habeeb Hamusta]

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo for PSX.

Wow, you're good at that game. I thought it was incredibly hard.

[izret101]

I pretty much have dominated everyone i have played in Worms World Party (DC) and Golden Eye.
Mortal Kombats are right up there too i am best in UMK3 and i am much better on Genesis than SNES.

[ubersaurus]

I am a manster at Star Fox 64, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Vault Assault. I'm also pretty damn good at Halo, having wasted the game on Legendary and doing damn well in multiplayer.

[JR]

Bleh only game I was very very very competitive in was Unreal Tournament. I wasnt a DM'er for the fact that they played a camp the weapon game, but in CTF 1v1 or normal team matches, I would kick ass. Other than that, I was good at MK II and got good enough that I used to know all the fatalities for all the players. Now if I was to play mk II Ide suck!
