I can't think of a single game I am that good at.
I ALMOST won a Smash Bros. Brawl tournament, but I only got that far to a combination of lax rules, lack of skill on the part of my opponents, and blind luck.
Me and my friend mostly went just so we could play it before it was released at midnight, but I'm still holding a grudge against Zelda and having flashbacks whenever I'm KO'd by her Final Smash.

Uncharted 2. I may only be level 41 and there's level XXX's in the games but I always end up in the top 3 every game. Favourite moment was taking out the whole enemy team on my own in a game of elimination all within close quarters of each other. It was like I was the Predator or something.
That and the PS1 Crash Team Racing. I still know the shortcuts from ten years ago.

Oxide never was any match for me...FreelanceButler said:
One thing I really hate is when people 'professionalize' CTR. I'm talking beating world records and finding all glitches and cheating shortcuts. It's a game made for people to have fun playing together (Remember what that was like?), not dick measuring contests. That said, yes, I would join a tournament as long as it wasn't full of such dicks who use aforementioned shortcuts and have an in-your-face attitude.
In a similar vein, Unreal Championship which is just Unreal Tournament 2003 for the Xbox. I don't know why but I'm unstoppable at that game. I'm primarily a PC gamer but a friend picked up a random copy for some reason so we tried it out, and I slaughtered everything and everyone.Leftnt Sharpe said:
As for games where there would be more substantial competition, I would probably do well on any of the last generation Smackdown! games. The only person who could ever keep up with me was some guy who played nothing but wrestling games every day and I still always beat him. I also like my chances with the original Command & Conquer. It's by far my best RTS ever and I'm rather awesome at them in general.
I'd like to add other games like Team Fortress 2 and StarCraft but that'd be dishonest. The best are just too good for me to compete against.
Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram is the only game that I think I would have any chance of winning in a tournament.
Actually, several. Not sure how well I'd stack up against the "best" players in the world, but I'd imagine I'd fair pretty damn well regardless. They are as follows:
1: Team Fortress 2
2: Left 4 Dead (1 & 2)
3: Counter-Strike: Source
4: Sins of a Solar Empire
5: Mech Commander 2
6: Halo Wars
With the exception of CS:S (I have "off" days), I pretty much always ace matches of any of those games. Given, of course, that the rest of my team isn't doing terrible in the team games.
And, no. I'm not one of those ***holes that blames my failings on my team mates. If I screw up, then I have the decency to blame myself.
I've taken part in a number of amateur and professional level gaming leagues. Everything from CAL, CEVO, CPL, GameBattles, etc, etc. But, never too seriously and not for very long. While I can compete quite easily, I just don't get much enjoyment from it. I play games to have fun and experience something with friends. Most people I've met that are part of the professional and amateur competitive leagues are not what I'd call.....friendly. In fact, most are down right obnoxious, self-observed jerks. Besides, I prefer to have a fair, level playing field. I hate pub stomps. (hell, I sabotage my own team sometimes if the other team is just getting whooped)
I don't know why, but I've always been a natural at first person and the more complex, purely strategy based games. And, to a lesser extent, the odd racing game. I.E. Wipeout, F-Zero, etc.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (a little less than Melee though)
Blazblue: Continuum Shift
And my friends and I are pretty beast at Left 4 Dead.

Hm.
I suppose... Power Stone, maybe? Back in the day, at least. Haven't played in years. I suppose I'd have a fair chance at Hisoutensoku, too, with the right character. Haven't lost a match in a long time (with my better characters, that is, when I'm not just messing around), and regularly beat the computer on the highest difficulty, 2-0, without taking any damage on either fight. I'm sure lots of people are better, I just feel rather confident. Probably unjustified.
Here's hoping tournaments can be won through sheer hubris.

I'd play Left 4 Dead 2. The times that I've played I usually take on the role in my team of the person who watches everyone's back. I'm pretty good at keeping everyone alive as long as possible and I feel I could do pretty well in a tournament.
I'm afraid not. I'm not really "great" at any one particular game, but rather "good" at just about everything. Not someone who is bad, but also not someone who could tangle with the pros. WoW raiding with my priest might have been an exception, but... there isn't much competition to be found there against NPC's.
In any event, I dislike competitive situations in general.

I could do Mario Kart.
I'm really more of an RPG gamer so there isn't really any games I can think of in that genre that are able to be tournamentized.
In CoD4 I was in a Game Battles clan and we were pretty good but it usually wasn't because of me.
EDIT: I could probably get pretty far in a Rock Band 2 guitar tournament (I suck at Guitar Hero for some reason) I can play expert and 5 star most songs except for the crazy hard ones.

Screw you Painkiller and Battery!
