Always been good at Pokemon. Really obvious that I am better than most other people when it comes to versing them online. Kind of seem to pick the same types when I am playing the main games story line. Have a Grass, Water, Psychic, Ground, Ice, Fighting/Bug type. Eventually the last Pokemon is usually either Bug or Fighting. Remember breezing through SoulSilver with this combo, as well as the other games as well.

Alright so here is my team.

Super Smash Bros. I won a small tournament with Link, which according to most people was thought to be impossible considering Link was nerfed in Brawl, which we played for the tournament. I'm competent with most of the characters, but my best ones are Link, Toon/Young Link, Mario, Kirby, Zelda, and Olimar.

Soul Caliber II, like Smash Bros. I was once amazing with Link, I knew all of his most complex moves, and I was near unstoppable. It makes sense considering how much I played that game to get so good. Now I'm just good at Soul Caliber II, not amazing like a used to be.

The few times I hopped online in Pokemon, I either did pretty well for someone who does not EV train and all that stuff, or I got swept like dust off of the kitchen floor. I guess because I didn't over think my strategies, I went in to use my favorite Pokemon and just have fun.

I was so good at the first Guitar Hero that I literally memorized all the Face-Melter tier songs on Expert. Somehow, I never got 100% on Bark at the Moon (I played that song every single day).

I'm pretty damn good at the new Mortal Kombat. Sektor is my absolute best character; I know a 57% midscreen combo with an X-Ray, and a 52% combo midscreen without using an X-Ray. If I get you in the corner with my Sektor, you're done for. I recently picked up Noob Saibot, and while I'm nowhere near as good as him compared to my Sektor, I'm stilly fairly good. My Johnny Cage and Kung Lao are also fearsome.

Tetris is the only game that I can say with confidence that I'm exceptionally good at.

I don't play Tetris very often, but when I do, I completely dominate.

Basically any Blazblue (I wreck people with my Ragna) or Guily Gear, MGS3, Borderlands 2, Silent Hill 2, Deus Ex Human Revolution, and I am competent in Demons Souls.

I have a lot of friends that play FIFA, in fact my fraternity house had a house league last year. It is safe to say that I am the best out of them though. Every once in a while some club at my University will have a video game tournament, and FIFA is one I always enter and usually do well

Sonic the Hedgehog games. I never meant to be, I'm just...really...really quite good at them. I can even do the bounce your way off of badniks through the zone trick in Sonic 1...

Also I can do the first...and second (just) special stages of Sonic 3 blindfolded.

I think I'm good at the Pokemon RPGs...but I've never tried a Nuzlock (hence the qualifier 'think'). Once I get a capture card I'm going to embarrass myself somewhere online.

I don't know about right now but as a kid, TMNT-Turtles in Time was the only game I was able to beat on Very Hard mode.

2D Mario Platformers. Some ghost houses give me trouble from time to time but otherwise I'm golden. Sadly, I haven't yet beaten Star Road or, Radical...Road...

When it comes to puzzle games, I'm good at Tetris, Dr. Mario and, I was pretty good with Hexic.

I'm really bad at fighting games but the exception to this would be Soul Caliber. I could probably do well with Tekken through Tekken 3.

My favorite arcade game is Galaga but I wouldn't say I'm good at it only because I just know there are a couple hundred people on these forums who can triple my highest score with minimal effort...(not that I'm bad, I've made it up to stage 30)...the same can be said of Pinball machines in general which I absolutely love with a passion but either do really well or really poorly.

Also Theatrhythm...I haven't broached 100 hours or purchased all of the DLC but I beat all of the core songs and all but one of the ones I've downloaded on the hardest difficulty. Speaking of rhythm games: Guitar Heroes and, DDR. I miss DDR...and arcades...

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.

Oh, and I led a decently successful WoW raiding guild for a while. Think I might've been one of the better PvE rogues on the server, but it's kind of hard to compare those when they're not grouped.

Beyond that I'm mostly very average. My reflexes are meh at best, and I won't be hitting any APM records any time soon either.

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.
That, sir, is the biggest truth I've heard all day.

OT: I'd say I'm fairly good at Age of Empires. When it comes to more "click-intensive" RTSs, though, like starcraft and such, I'm garbage.

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.

A couple of years on, I'm reasonably good at Dota 2. I can hit 50cs or more in 10 minutes quite reliably dual vs. dual lane, and I can do much better than that if I'm given freefarm. In the support role, which is my main, I'm content with my roaming sense, my map awareness and my warding knowledge.

Other games I'm good at, at the moment:
TERA Online (Grade-A slayer and priest, so-so tank)
Total War (Shogun I and II)
Dawn of War II

Rock Band/Guitar Hero -have yet to find a song I can't do on expert on either drums or guitar (not perfectly but usually around 80% at least)

Halo 3 -not anymore but I used to be able to run around just no scoping people in the face with the sniper rifle.

007 Nightfire -got so good at sniping in this game that I could stand at the highest spot on Skyrail and easily kill anyone I could see, not matter how far away they were.

Well the first game I would think would be DotA 2, im not awesome, but im pretty good, mostly in solo offlane. Sadly the people I was playing with I drifted away from, so its hard finding people I can play offlane for again. I think the big reason im good at it to is I took a natural liking to the game so I just try to find the ins and outs of everything, than just practice.

CoD I was really good at on the console. If me and a certain friend were playing, we would tear down teams left and right.

I think the last one would be TF2, but in custom modes like Deathrun and Freak Fortress.

MYTH!!!! watch me single handedly win the game for another team I was subsituteing for, who's players were really really inexperienced agaist one of the top 4 teams in the tournament. Check out my awesome scouting/Flank and yes thats my voice in the cast too.



edit: if you fastfoward to around 8:50 you see my warrior flank comming in to flag them, to stay in the game you must have one flag under your control or you instantly lose. So in response the other team rushes our home base and you can watch the insane gore and carnage that follows.

I'm good with Enchantress in Dota 2. Just don't ask me to play as anyone else.

I used to be a beast at Soul Calibur 3, could even pull off Ivy's absurd command grabs in actual fights on a good day.

On a different note, I scored so high in a game of Revolution (the board game) that the game ceased having the capacity to keep track of my points. I refuse to ever play the game again.
