I remember back then, I was permabanned from playing as Fox in SSB =(

I also generally play as Zelda (That's Zelda, not Sheik) in SSBB to mix it up, and to get people to agree to play. ^.^
Oh yeah? And when was the last time you suggested playing??

OT: I don't. Ever. Not even solitaire. I am universally TERRIBLE at gaming... Although I try, and die, quite frequently. *sigh*
Last time would have been when I decided I cbf arguing when everyone says 'no' in unison. =(

I used to play Dance Dance Revolution at tournament level, played 10 footers without touching the bar, playing songs backwards, making dance routines with friends. I now only play it a couple times a year, not up to where I was but I still treat 9 footers as my warmups.

When I was little, I used to play mario 1 holding the run button the entire time and not letting up, without losing a life, or even once beat the first two stages with my eyes closed. We only had three games growing up till I was in my teens, so I got really good at that. Now... errrmmm... I can beat the game, haha, while dying plenty.

I'm not very good at ssb series, which is annoying since it's the only game my friends ever play. I'm more of a cooperative player, I don't really like competive games or sports unless it is against myself (challenging myself on hard mode, doing solo exercise like running or swimming)

Metal Gear Solid 3 online, I was more than once accused of cheating and it culminated in me being kicked from a Sneak match because the admin got pissed at me for winning seven times in a row. I'm nowhere near that good in MGO 2.0. However, I don't play the PS2 online any more (as if anyone does) so moving on to a game I still currently dominate...

Well, none really. I can get damn good at Bad Company 2 in the right state of mind, but there's usually always someone around to knock me back down. The best example of domination would be when I got four Ace Pins in the space of two and a half hours. I'm never usually one for horrendously high kill streaks, I value my social life too much :p

I am sensing a plan... involving a BBQ... and preferably spring... Which gives us 3 months to plan our own "LAN", time for me to practice not dying, and no waiting on Guinness :D

... wow
DDR has never been my game. Only do alright with the pc version (arrow keys, i know right?)
Playing with eyes closed now thats just insane. I have not played any video game with my eyes closed and do alright with it...(then again, games I am good at require a person to actually see what he is aiming at.)

Shoot, I may have already posted in this thread...

Anyway, I've become a master of the Ace Combat games, especially 5 and 0.

I was never quite this good, but I was a serious player years back. I was just breaking into the ten-footer tier and getting better every day. The best player in the quad-state area was a frequent partner, and would often remark on how quickly I seemed to be improving.

Aaaaaaaand then the arcade closed. Damn.

I still have a love for the game, but of course I haven't gotten to play in years, unless I ran into a machine while on a trip somewhere. I'd have loved to have stuck at it.

No, you haven't posted on this thread yet. I am 99% sure.
Ace Combat... might annoy you if i get it wrong but is it a flight simulation game (one with guns)? Anyway, I am decent at H.A.W.X, completed it on the hardest difficulty (with quite the number of retries).

Any of the Dead or Alive games. I love those games. Oh, and Resident Evil. Modern Warfare 2, im getting there, i did at one point of a kill to death ratio of 8.3, but it died. The original Modern Warfare, i used to play MLG players for fun.

It's a niche genre, I don't mind that people aren't familiar with it. But yeah, it's like that.

I played HAWX for a while, and got very turned off of it; the multiplayer in HAWX and Ace Combat 6 are both terribly balanced.

In HAWX, you mainly ended up with people either using the Raptor, an incredibly fast and agile plane you get for completing the short campaign, or a plane with All-Aspect missiles, which can fire at nearly any angle at close range, have extreme accuracy, and track for over a minute. It was nightmarishly cheese-friendly.

It did have great moments, though, for players that chose not to abuse it. I once won three rounds of a four round match playing alone versus two opponents, with cannons only. The whole story is actually very interesting, to me at least, but it's very long.

I barely got any multiplayer time with HAWX and just went with the singleplayer mode. (My friends that played HAWX were very bad at the game compared to me). My favourite missiles were the Multiple targeting one because they just looked so badass when you unleashed them on all 4 different targets (though they usually always almost miss).

What got me really into the game was the switch off assistance mode. I just loved it as it was the first flying game I have played that allowed such agility with the planes (I dont play flight simulators).

Oh and you mean cannons as in the defualt air to air missile or the MGs? (Im guessing the machine guns because that is fking pro) I have only downed 2 planes ever with only machine guns (what a grind it was).

Yes, the cannons are the machine guns. Making good use of them can be very difficult, but can often serve as a pretty good indication of a player's skill; to get a missile kill, you may have only gotten a good lock for a splitsecond, but when you can take down another player in seconds with your cannons, there's no question that you were outflying him. This is probably why cannons and unguided rockets were my favorite weapons: the only defense against them is pure flying skill.

As a longtime genre fan, it was actually very difficult for me to adapt to Assistance OFF mode. Every game I've played in the genre, I've used the cockpit view, and did so in HAWX as well. So whenever I snapped from cockpit to a wide-angle third-person view where your plane's and camera's movement are suddenly unrelated, up becomes down, black becomes white, and just making my plane go the direction I want becomes a chore.

That's all my problem, though; the system itself is quite innovative, and innovation is what the genre needs more than anything. I eventually became decently skilled in Asst. OFF, but by that time I had tired of deathmatch after deathmatch and it started to seem like wasted effort, especially since only the most skilled opposing players ever necessitated its use.

Hopefully, they're planning a HAWX 2 somewhere down the road a ways. HAWX has its issues, but I can overlook a lot of them because of the directions they're taking the genre's rather staid elements, and that's terrific, since my beloved Ace Combat is apparently more and more content to recapitulate its own material.

They ARE planning a HAWX 2 and it is done by the same people and coming out not too far into the future (heard of it but forgot the release year). I guess if one was to get very skilled at the cockpit view of flying games one after another, the Assistance-off mode would just throw them off a little.

I loved it not only because it made dodging missiles that much easier (too easily imo) but, also the stalling. Yes, I do stall my plane for not much reason (though stalling has saved my life quite alot of times from the quick push-up you get when resuming flying speed).

Any Ratchet and Clank game, I play them so much that I can eventually re-play the game buying no armour!

Bad Company 2, give me an assault rifle or a machine gun and a lot of death will occur; of course its also really, really helpful to have a team as well, I definetly improve when I have a team that covers me and supplies me with goodies

Reading about HAWX 2 now, they claims it introduce some of unconventional gameplay to the genre. Here's hoping!

And in HAWX 2, you can apparently fly an AC-130 [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/AC-130_Training.jpg].

I may end up on one of these IRL, so this is a big deal for me.

Lead and Gold. First time I ever played I'm best in the match, and I'm almost always top 3.

I only went negative once, fucking trappers...
