Games you consider yourself good at.

I fancy myself a rather stellar pyro in Team Fortress 2, and I'm not too shabby as sniper either, but I still prefer pyro. I seldom play TF2 though.

I'm actually not that bad at CSS, but y'know, there are always people a billion times better than you in Counter Strike.

Other than that- I survived as France in Victoria 2, and even though it's potentially one of the easiest countries to play in that game, it is still a Paradox Interactive strategy game, so I believe I deserve a congressional medal of honour.

I have no idea how good I am in Dota 2, considering I have the same problem as with chess; I don't play online because laziness. So all of those times being a filthy noob in Dota were wasted on bots. x-D

I will say that no one is able to play bullet hell the same way I can around me. I may have accidentally done 1CC runs without knowing.

I've also demonstrated from time and time again to my friends and other people that I don't give a fuck about Dark Souls' difficulty. Naked runs be so much fun.

Suddenly, I remember those days I was interested in the competitive meta of Pokemon and was decent at it, but those days are gone. Might pick it up again if I can get a 3DS.

I'm good at Total War generally (apart from Shogun 2 which I couldn't get into). I don't so much go for multiplayer with the newer ones (though I'm a decent Blitzkrieger on AI campaign in all of them), but back in the days of Rome 1 and Medieval 2 I was horrifically unfair on online opponents.
Destroying my own walls to kill enemy siege towers, emphatically unfair bridge strategies, missile cav spam, hoplite spam, elephant routing strategies, nasty emplaced stakes, stupidly unfair army placement - basically every underhanded, exploitative, and generally deceitful strategy in existence. Worked though.

Bit of a weird one: I'm generally poor-to-average on FPS, but I got obsessively good with the Goldeneye remake on the Wii.
I was saving for a gaming PC at the time, and got to the point where I'd usually score 4-1 KD ratios against similarly levelled players, and utterly dominate lower level teams. And that was using the wiimote rather than a controller.

Heh, I hit rank 400 or so in Shogun II multiplayer, using an army setup that involved rockets. I could bathe in the tears shed by badly adapting opponents.

That sounds like the 4 inch mortar strategy in Empire (or, in the words of less gracious opponents, "noob mortar spam"). Utterly evil!

Not that I can talk - I used to be an absolute nightmare playing as any artillery-heavy nation in Medieval II because I was pretty good at positioning an enfilade, and got a decent feel for the behaviour of ricocheting cannonballs in the engine.

Rockets were soldier-carried personal artillery, but they did have the massive range, and would desintegrate cavalry on frontal hits. I brought one upgraded unit, and just murdered his cavalry, sniped his general, and mopped up the rest.

The phrase "noob rockets" was uttered often. It was glorious.

Touhou, Jamestown, Beat Hazard, Binding of Isaac, TF2 (Only scout, mind you, but a mean one), and, when I actually feel like playing them, pretty much any FPS. I just find myself destroying people easily in every one of them. Except for like, super pros in unreal tournament and stuff.

I generally consider myself good at FPSs, especially those of the old-school type of gameplay (Painkiller, Doom 1&2, Unreal Tournament, HL, CS...) but since I play singleplayer 99% of the time, my only basis for this claim is the difficulty settings at which I play the games and not comparison to other actual people. But still, I´d like to think I am at least a bit better than the average player.

Other than that, I don´t know. I totally suck at strategy games, I like to play RPGs but then again, I play them more for the fun and the story than for hours of looking through tables and charts looking for the best build so that I could beat the game on the hardest difficulty, so I guess I wouldn´t be officially considered "good" at them...
