What game do you dominate?

[RetroYoungen]

There may already be a thread like this, but I couldn't see one.

What is the one game that no one can beat you at? What game to do you utterly dominate to the point that you could be considered the best at?

My game is Intelligent Qube. 651,800 and a game IQ (it gives it to you after you lose/beat it) of 292. Apparently I'm brilliant lol.

[Gamereviewgod]

No one, and I mean NO ONE can beat me in Blades of Steel. Ever...

[EnemyZero]

I definitely used to spend 20 bucks a week sendin nerds home packin in the arcades at Soul Caliber

[dave2236]

NES contra, I can beat it with the original 3 guys and everyone is always like " no you can't" "you can't do it with 3 guys" Show me"

Also Wetrix on 64 I am pretty good and Tetres Dx

[AB Positive]

three games I have yet to lose against another human in:

King of Fighters ('99 and 2k)
Bomberman (original/'93)

...


and WWF No Mercy. Hush.

Well, I'm damn good in Star Fox 64 and the old Spacewar game. I'm also hard to beat in Halo, and Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Tizoc 4 life :rocker:

Well then one of these days it'll have to be you and me when it comes to Star Fox 64. I have yet to lose in a deathmatch, and I need to be humbled ;)

I lost one round in SF64 since it came out-and that was the result of the other three guys teaming up to take me out of the game, and me having the unfortunate luck of getting shot down that time. Other then that, I've been unbeatable. Keep in mind that for about 3 or 4 months, SF64 was one of the only games I played(as it was my only 64 game), and I played it alot.

Street Fighter II and SFII:CE arcade versions. Don't even waste your money against me ;)

Ninja Gaiden 2. By the time you get to level 4-1, I have already beaten the game. :-D

No way, then I'd actually have to put my money where my mouth is. :-D

j/k, I'd love to play some of you guys in real life, I'm suprised SF isn't online, as big a hit as it was.

I've always had this knack for Super Mario Kart (SNES)

and...if you've noticed, i put up free money on it

[Oobgarm]

Guilty Gear X2, Contra, Tetris, and Goldeneye.

[Arqueologia_Digital]

Contra (NES), i think i can finish it with my eyes closed
Felix the cat (NES)
Ms. Pac man (Arcade) - I´m damn good
FIFA 98: Road to world cup and FIFA 2002 (PC) - You can´t beat me

[Kim Possible]

NO ONE can out play me at Mario Golf 64. NO ONE. (especially if we play the ANY of the first 5 courses, Mario Star I have a little bit of trouble with, but otherwise, you may as well just go home, suckaz.)

[cheesystick]

For me, it would have to be Killer Instinct on the SNES. I just memorized all the combos and tried to play on the hardest mode with every charactor until I became god. And my godly hands have smote all thee who have challenged me before.

I used to hold the Twin Galaxies-recognized high score for Halloween for the Atari 2600. Actually, I was the first to exceed 100,000 points as well. But there is now one man better than me, as my score has dropped to second place.

"Damn you Mike Morrow! Damn YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!"

[dr mario kart]

It is my experience that there are usually several people in every town who think they are god at any given game. If you wish to gain credibility, or perhaps you just wish to find a challenge, it is your responsibility to seek them out and let the infidels know just who is god and who is not.

I *will* reclaim my Halloween World Record. I have been practicing quite a bit. I've more than beaten my old high score, in fact. But I'm still 100,000 points below what Morrow has posted. My goal is to beat his World Record while at CGE. Public dominance will be mine once again!
Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

Bust a Move or Puzzle De Pon

[bargora]

One day about 20 years ago I sat down with my Atari 2600, put in Asteroids, set it to game 9, and proceeded to flip the board ten times (for a total of 1 million points, IIRC). I suspect, however, that doing that was more a testament to my determination than my skill. Even Kid Fenris could probably do it.

[SoulBlazer]

Any of the NES/SNES Nina Gaiden or Castlevanias. I can sail through any game in those with one life and in a very low time. :-D

I can also complete Suikoden II in the under 20 hours needed to see all of Clive's story. :D

I notice that in all the challenge matches you've publicly played thus far, you've only lost one out of like three billion. What happened in that one game? Your opponent kicked you in the shins? It was a mentally challenged player, so you threw him a win? I'd love to see you play -- I wish you could make it to CGE.

SF2 can be online.. I used to play it a lot using ummm.. damn I forget the name! (was it Callus) it's some capcom emulator with online play capabilities. If you got two good connections then you can have nice online matches.

..by the way, EVERYBODY thinks they're good at Street Fighter :roll:

I'm not good enough to beat you guys at street fighter... I just like watching Cammie :-D

[Gunstarhero]

..by the way, EVERYBODY thinks they're good at Street Fighter


Ok fine, your probably correct. However I really am good :P

Ok hows this, I rock at NBA Hangtime and all the San Fransisco Rush games, and when I'm totally ON, I can beat Super Punchout(16-0) in 22 minutes real time.

[NE146]

..by the way, EVERYBODY thinks they're good at Street Fighter


Ok fine, your probably correct. However I really am good :P

I'm sure you are ;) But consider this.. Street Fighter being one of the most competitive and POPULAR games in it's time.. damn, a LOT of bastards are good at it :P

I cut my teeth at Golfland in Sunnyvale (http://www.shoryuken.com/apex/?division=npacific&arcade=svgl)where Capcom playtested their machines .. and was lucky enough to travel to Japan a couple times a year then(family trips) and visit arcades where Capcom JAPAN playtested machines. .. I still remember being wowed when Capcom employees rolled in a test Super Street Fighter 2 for 2 hours, stood there and took notes, then rolled it back out. I don't know where I'm going with this.. but the bottom line is, there are a lot of friggin good ass Street Fighter 2 players out there.. wooh! It's hot :P

My personal speciality is surprising opponents with my unorthodox E-Honda Style.. but although I like to think I'm good. I know there are about a couple hundred thousand peeps out there who can kick my ass LOL SF2.. it's tough to be dominant! :)

[Gunstarhero]

OK, I know what you mean. Well, I can say that I'm dominate in my area, I've never been to Sunnyvale California to play the best, I'd probably get my ass kicked in some kind of serious tourny. There you made me say I'd get my ass kicked, hope your happy :cheers:

That's not what I was trying to do ;) You'd probably kick my ass if we played dude :D

I was just mulling on the fact that there's a lot of good street fighter players out there.. and that you can find good players almost anywhere you go :) And I was being amazed by it. That's all :D

Yeah, I know you weren't purposely trying to shoot down my dream of being the best SFII player of all time LOL . Nah, I'm just playin around anyway, I wish I could of lived in a more populated area as to test my skills with more variety of players. My home town only has a population of 30,000...so the talent pool was small, but I think I'm tops in my area. I have no way to prove it around here anymore as I can't find a SFII machine within a 20 mile radius :/ I'll bet loads of SFII machines have been converted by now.

I've been fortunate in the public matches so far, I believe with the Austin Gaming Expo and Quakecon that will change. As you can see the general record is not as good. Statistically, I lose 5% of the rounds I play, so I shouldve lost more than one public round by now. As for the guy, he was pretty sharp, but it was nothing out of the ordinary.

That reminds me, I played this kid in a wheelchair once at 40 Acres Fest. Unfortunately I cant afford to have mercy, so I pounded the snot out of him.

Of the 62 matches I've played this year, 56 of them have been straight sweeps; only 6 people have gotten one round or more. Of those 6 people, 3 of them only got one, which can be dismissed as a fluke rather easily. But overall, I lose individual rounds all the time, but I have lots of wins to offset them.

I dont have the funds right now to any fancy traveling, maybe if i can pick up a sponsor between the Austin Gaming Expo and CGE I'll go, but it wont be likely.

Ah, I did beat NG 3, definately the hardest of the 3. The other 2 are actually quite easy (especially 2) once you've beaten them several times.

My greatest success though, comes from NBA Hangtime on the N64. One of my favorite games, you will NEVER score more 3-pointers than me, guaranteed.

None of my friends have been able to beat me in Puzzle Fighter either, although I'm not certain if I would "dominate" another good player.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long while. Thank you! And, hey, considering you've now damned yourself, at least I'll have the opportunity to watch you play Battle Mode in Hell, presuming Satan doesn't force everyone there to play Shadow: War of Succession instead.

Right. You're inevitably going to drop the occasional round, but no way you're gonna drop seven out of 13.

Dang. Well, enjoy crushing all in your path at AGE. Do most gamers accept their beatings with humility, or do they get angry when they realize you're toying with them?

Nah, Kid Fenris is too busy trying to survive the sixth level of R-Type. You probably know what I mean . . . or do you?

Some games I'm good at, some I'm not, but there's nothing at which I can always beat people.

But perhaps I should pick a game so obscure that no one would ever bother to test my skill at it. Yeah, I can crush any opponent when it comes to Lightning Legend! My Mokomoko OWNZ.

Oh well, at least I beat Ninja Gaiden 3 fair and square.

[Charlie]

I'm utterly unbeatable at Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle League. Nobody has every got me more then twice in a row. People won't play me anymore... it sucks.

I'm pretty decent at other action puzzle games... Dr. Mario I've unbeatable... Tetris I'm pretty good (mostly becaues I'm quick and accurate)... Puzzle Fighter I'm good but that game is designed in a way that eliminates skill 9 times out of 10.

Outside of Video Games, I've been told I'm the most ruthless, nasty, cutthroat Monopoly player ever. I rarely lose though, so fuck everyone else lol.

I should hope so since Game 9 is probably the Asteroids equivalent of the "teddy bear" level in 2600 games :P

Just a single level away... Game 10 (asteroids move at more varied angles) and difficulty settng "A" (UFO'S!) Now flipping THAT 10 times would be a feat :-D

I was wondering when somebody would point that out! LOL In fairness, I believe I did play on difficulty A. Without the UFOs for points, I would have probably had to go to bed before I could have got ten flips.

R-Type laughed at me last night. While I have developed flawless technique in levels 1-3, I did not even see the level 4 boss. For some reason, it is counterproductive for me to even try playing the same shmup on two consecutive days. If I were to play tonight, the battleship would probably pwn me.

I could crush any of you yahoos in Unreal Tournament for PS2.

[Hamsnibit]

I'm pretty good at tons of console games. Arcade games I owned everyone in town at Mortal Kombat 1 & 2, and I got so good at Nam 1975 I could beat it on a single quarter. I'm nowhere near that good now since I've been out of practice.

[dr mario kart]

Dang. Well, enjoy crushing all in your path at AGE. Do most gamers accept their beatings with humility, or do they get angry when they realize you're toying with them?

-- Z.

I generally dont fool around, I try to take care of business as swiftly as possible. However if i am playing someone who doesnt know what he's doing I'll practice some of the more advanced shots since theres less risk of being vulnerable if i miss them.

Most everyone is humble about the whole thing, they acknowledge that everything is legitimate. I have occasionally been accused of cheating, but they dont do it in a serious way.

[calthaer]

Ah, someone mentioned Unreal Tournament...

I haven't really played FPSes online since the original Unreal had all of its servers up while I was in college. I used to dominate in that game. Never played too much of tournament...about that time I realized that my cable modem was just not fast enough to really lay the smackdown on the other college kids who were in the dorms with access to multiple T3 lines. Network speed has a lot to do with those games, as people can jump around if you have lag...but if they're not lagging they can keep you right in their crosshairs.

In spite of that I'm still really good at Command & Conquer: Renegade when I play that since it's not all a matter of number of frags but there's a fair amount of strategy & economics involved in terms of laying mines, taking out enemy buildings, etc. Even an engineer-type can rack up a pretty good score by doing some sneak-in or APC raid and blowing up a building or two.

But I hate - and I mean HATE - playing FPSes with a gamepad. I hate it with a passion. The only one I like is Metroid Prime because you have the ability to lock-on and you don't have to aim with that horrible analog stick. A mouse is hands-down better than those things, and it's just as sweet when it's a Logitech iFeel mouse and you can feel the gun vibrating beneath your palm >)

As far as 2d games...I don't know if I've ever really played one so obsessively that I can "beat" someone else. I was decent at Gorf, and Ms Pac Man was always one of my stronger points, but I'm sure there are better people out there. I'm definitely not into the fighting game thing - moves way too fast. I can do all the moves, but I just don't have the precision that some people have especially with those combos.

[bargora]

But I hate - and I mean HATE - playing FPSes with a gamepad. I hate it with a passion.
Then you know how I feel about the keyboard/mouse combo. I admit that it's hard to set your analog stick sensitivity so that it's fast enough to turn you around quickly but slow enough to aim with some degree of precision. But I guess you just need more practice. :P ;)


Nah, Kid Fenris is too busy trying to survive the sixth level of R-Type. You probably know what I mean . . . or do you?
I do now. x_x I've been playing too much Gradius. Until last night I failed to realize that the [whatever the hell it is] at the top and bottom of the screen in the fifth level was purely decorative and not your usual side-scrolling "deadly terrain". Once you take advantage of the entire screen, the fifth level goes down a lot easier. Emboldened by success, I crushed the boss.

Level 6 is indeed a rotten place.

[chevy_chase]

Death trax.... this was a old PC game,

i ran it on a 16 mhz 386 back then, but the game had no frame limiter, so it ran twice as fast... i played it so much that i could complete the whole game without dieing once, always finishing 1st, at double the framerate effortlessly.

I think that's the only game i've ever been the absolute master of.

[kainemaxwell]

Probably Mega Man 3 for the NES. Can rock that game pretty well and usually run through Wily's Castle loosing only 2 lives max (Usually fighting the 8 masters again before Gamma so i can save Energy Tanks).
