Used to be real good at Unreal Tournament, I did all the dodge / wall jump / rocket jump(or rather bio gloop jump) smoothly and in quick succession which made people real damn angry when going after me.
Also used most large effect guns to cover my approach rather then kill, which confused the hell out of opponents when I kept killing them from completely separate angles.
However those games require constant training or people walk all over you, last time I played I could barely kill anyone.

Right now I'd say I'm pretty decent at World of Tanks, much more due to the fact the game relies heavily on tactical information over dexterity, being fast with your fingers means squat if you don't know where the opponent is or how they can be destroyed.

I'd like to think I'm pretty good at Team Fortress 2. I've clogged a lot of hours on the game (nothing ridiculous compared to some players) and it shows. Some days I just can't get going though (still talking about TF2) and I don't do that well though.

I'm pretty darn good at Awesomenauts. I still have a lot of room for improvement, but on public games I'm usually on the winning side and almost always have the most kills when playing as Skolldir or Alya.

I also play a mean Mario Kart: Double Dash. This one probably has to do with the fact that I've been playing it off and on since fifth grade, and I've only been improving. I know all of the tracks in that game like the back of my hand.

I'd like to say that I'm good at a lot of games...

I'm good at Guitar hero (but not expert 100% on anything extreme, since I play on a keyboard)

I'm good at Payday 2 (only because I have about 90 hours on it and over 200 on the first one)

I'm good at League of Legends, not great, but good... (Ranked middle of silver, so, better than a lot)

I'm also good at Gran Turismo 5... race me in any car <650pp and I'll give it a good shake...


Then again, for someone who spends almost all day playing games swapping from driving to shooting to strategy to button mashing, I'm better than most people at a lot of games, but nothing world-breaking...

I'm pretty proficient at almost any game I pick up, but dota 2 is probably the game I'm the best at right now. But I'm still a wet noodle compared to pros.

I am pretty good at bullet hell games, and can 1-CC most of them. Definitely not crazy top tier JPN player yet though.

I compete small regional fighting tournaments, usually win or come in top 8.

I'm "good" at most Paradox Interactive strategy games (Crusader Kings II, Europa Universalis III, Hearts of Iron...)

And that's bad because the better you are at a Paradox game, the less fun you're having.

I used to have a rule that after getting back from a night on the town I wouldn't go to bed until i had finished top of my team on counter strike source, and i usually succeeded fairly quickly. That said I'd hazard a guess at 3am in the morning everyone else wasn't exactly at their most alert either...

I'm also pretty good at the total war games, and football manager just to mix things up...

Probably BF3 and FFXI. Used to be pretty decent at Counter Strike Source, but I've been out of the PC FPS scene for too long, would more than likely be terrible if I go back (yea yea FPS's on consoles. Shut up)

Probably I'm my best in competitive games in Unreal TOurnamet 2004, as me and my friends have been playing it on a regular basis for several years, and I dominate most nights. Of course, it may be that I'm so used to how those guys move and how they play that it just makes me good and I would suck against other people (since we like to have air controll, low grav and tetrajump mods in game and I've been told that is frowned upon by the community).

I'm alos a decent Pyro at TF2. Playing at mid-level servers (because in high-level my class is just sitting around spy checking and extinguishing teammates, being yelled at if you try to play anything different) I'm usually the best Pyro at the server and a reasonable appearence in the MVP boards, so I don't suck that much. Not great, but not bad I think.

Also, I've started to be decent at Age of EMpires II, winning against a firend that is much better than me most times.

I consider myself decent at Dark Souls pvp. I can usually put up a good fight against invaders and hosts alike. I also like fighting gankers for the thrill (2v1 or 3v1 fights), though for every gankspank I win, I lose to 5 more. Still, when you've played for over 600 hours, you learn a thing or two about how the pvp works.

Dark Souls is probably the only online game that I've played a lot and still play regularly. I just started Team Fortress 2 (built a gaming PC about a month ago) and I'm ok at it. I'm pretty good as Heavy, Pyro, and Engineer.
I was finally starting to feel that way by the end of the game. Then a guy invaded and kicked the crap out of me during my dramatic walk to the big final boss chamber. It was a bit anti-climactic to go out on.

Counter Strike, UT2004, Battlefield Heroes and any other game in the "Angles, Spaces, Speeds and Line-Of-Sight" genres (FPS, TPS, etc) given enough time to practice the specific title. I prefer these games that aren't just about run-and-gun tho. I think I could play any other genre just as good if the camera was in first-person.

I'm bad at fighting games but pretty good at Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series as it's more strategy than quick-RPS choices and combo memorization, and also more 3D which fits my best genres general skills. I'd usually play couch with all my friends that almost always beat me at Street Fighter, Tekken and Soul Calibur, and stay with the controller for so many matches while they all take turns trying to beat me, that I'd actually pass the controller without losing to let them play each other.

I used to think i was good at blazblue, and in my own circle of friends, I'm top tier. Then I had the hubris to enter a tournament at an anime convention.... it wasn't pretty TT-TT

I've always considered myself amazing at warioware and mario party though

I like to think I'm good at Shadow of the Colossus. I've played through the game several times and I can beat even the tougher colossi without too much trouble. I was even able to reach the Secret Garden and beat Normal Time Attack.

By the looks of some time attack videos on YouTube though, I'm far from the best. I barely even touched Hard Time Attack mode.

I suppose I am good at Persona 4 Arena. Perhaps because nobody ever plays Labrys online so they might be at a loss on how to beat one as good as mine. Considering Labrys is robot chick holding a huge double sided axe and has I think slightly below average running speed her range is deceptively big. I'm not going to say Ariadne is the best Persona in the game, that would be Konohana Sakuya, but I will say Ariadne is the most "assist" like Persona. She's never out all the time doing some crazy lockdown like Chie or Yu, she comes out at very specific times where I can't hit them with my axe.

I'm not going to brag about having a high PSR Yu. I don't even know how to play Yu really. He has a grand total of 3 specials and one of those is a projectile. That skill cap yo'. I just swap between Raging Lion and Swift Strike until they miss a high/low, then I cancel it into Cross Slash for hilariously cheap damage.

Oh and i'm slightly less bad at League than most other bads. Nobody outside of high Diamond/Challenger is "good" at League let me get that out of the way.

I get all the theory and I know how to not feed which is important. When I was pre 30 just getting one kill was fucking Christmas to me because I would be feeding so hard. Somewhere along the line I got sick of it and spent a lot of time just focusing on not dying. Hence playing like i'm from behind is second nature for me, how do I play when i'm 6/0? You mean I don't have to sit back and do my best to farm with very max range Wild Cards?

Even my "lol i'm Gold now, bow down to me scrubs lololololol" duo partner is surprised when I go TF mid vs Lee Fucking Sin and don't die once. Hey, i'm that TF who gets ganked, starts the Pick a Card and DOES NOT panic lock a Blue Card. At this ELO that's the sign of the best Twisted Fate you have ever seen outside the LCS.

I generally focus on fighters and Jrpgs so I tend to be good at them. My main game is Blazblue and my char is Bang, there's a few games of me online from that, you can see some of it from a tournament here:

I like to think I do very well at Halo once I find my rhythm, although I've never put enough hours into the the game to get a high rank, prefer co-op modes and I dislike the number of dickbags online.

I was pretty damn good as the Recon class in Firefall before the big patch that swapped the tier 2 frames abilities, my lovely damage dealing frame became support and a lot more time is now needed to unlock stuff. I seem to have lost interest in that game since then, which is a shame as I was in the first closed beta and I'm a founder.

Other than that I tend to be very average, never at the bottom and only sometimes at the top of leader boards. My short attention span is always the downfall of my ranking.

Going at a bit of tangent, i.e. A game that someone ELSE is NOT very good at.

My older brother has always been pretty poor with action platformers. Not really sure why as he's pretty good with some other genres.
