What gaming skill are you most proud of?

[Evilbunny]

Can you score headshots without using the scope? Can you hit warthogs from the other side of the map with a rocket launcher? Do you have a reaction time half that of a normal human being? Well, we'd like to hear about it! What gaming skill are you most proud of?

Personally, I am ridiculously good at aiming pit's arrows in SSBB. It doesn't matter if you're moving, as long as there is nothing in my way I will hit almost every time. One of my favorite things to do is wait till the other players wear down the smash ball then snipe it from far away. Pisses them off.

I can noscope like it's nobody's business. No matter what game (In COD4 it's a lot harder but somehow I manage to use the scope and fire from 2ft away, which is still not bad), I can make people's little grey cells end up on the ground.

I'm one of the better "stickers" in Halo. That has got to be the most satisfying kill in all of video games.

 

[Stagger P]

I can see something move from miles away, This come in amazing handy on CoD4 when trying to snipe another sniper in a ghillie suit.

i would say that im average at video games, i love them to pieces, but to gain any real skill requires a lot of practice for me, but i'd say that the one skill i am good at, (as a talent not because of tedious amounts of practice)is that i am insainly good at flying games, i have imazing reactions in them that dont seem to show in other games! and havent lost a single game of ace combat 6 on live! (i havent played more than 10 games of it, but im proud of it!)

I'm the most talented melee user in GunZ of the entire united states. (seriously, I've gone through 5 tournaments, won them all)

I pwn in spurts, I'll do average in most games, until I become immersed; when I'm fully into a game I leap to the top of the scoreboard.

I'm very good at scanning for pixel movement no matter what the distance; It comes in really handy for any fps in an urban or forested environment.

I also have great reflexes in aerial combat games (the faster the better.)

*edit* Not sure if it's a skill to be proud of but when it comes to MMO games I'm fantastic at clicking skills while moving, jumping,(In games like WoW & LotR I can be moving jumping tanking, weaving through mobs without gaining adds all the while manually clicking skills without any need to see the screen or pointer)and talking on vent giving directions to others.

I'm climbing up the ladders in Unreal 3 on 360, but no particular skill there. I don't really play it anymore, but when I was doing Halo 3 online, I was mad accurate with a spartan laser. I could hit you in the head with that thing from across the map. The guys I would play with would find the laser and bring it too me if I didn't have it already. You think that skill would cross over into sniping, but I just a little above average in sniping.

Guitar Hero for me is probably the thing that I'm the most proud of and most embarrassed of. A few nights ago we had a party and I was given requests by a group of about 30 people crammed into my living room. I'm obviously not the best GH player in the world, but I play pretty well on most songs on Expert, and everybody seemed to love that when I played for them. Didn't half make me feel weird afterwards though...

counter-strike source.. name a gun and I'm great with it. Actually, I think I just have a knack for seeing changes (for instance colors) on the screen and having the coordination to aim at it instantly. At least, that's the best way I can describe it.

I can't even play that game anymore without getting banned for being accused of hacking.. so I've uninstalled it. Which is a shame.. but, what could I do? How can one prove that they're not hacking? They can't..

Also, I find that nobody likes a person that can own them over and over again in a video game. People would start talking shit to me because they know there's no way they can kill me in the game. So, I guess they hope to hurt me in real life with their petty words. It's actually kind of funny and an interesting social commentary.

I could go back into something like CAL, but I don't like taking the game that seriously, anymore.

The only wicked gaming talent I can think of is my crazy skill with Throwing Knives in Golden Eye, I'm just good with them for some reason.

 

[SteinFaust]

i can be horrendously quick at semi-auto ripping. people always accuse me of hacks or using an SMG. this takes root in COD4 because, like in real life, semi-auto weapons fire as fast as you make them fire.

 

[Johnn Johnston]

So, I guess they hope to hurt me in real life with their petty words.

Some angry kid once shouted so loud down the microphone at me that it actually hurt my ears, so I guess that counts.

 

[plastic_window]

Yeah, what is that about? I get told that I'm a hacker on CoD4 all the time, particularly from people who don't seem to speak English which makes me wonder how they know what that word means. And then the other day I was playing Gears on my 360 and I got accused of hacking there. I wasn't aware you could actually hack into a 360, but I was honestly thinking that it might be feesable for incredibly smart computer-buffs, who have absolutely no other desire than to make hundreds of 12-year-olds cry, to pull apart the console and reconfigure every game that it works with. Using magic. But then, getting called a hacker's really more of a compliment than anything else.

The ability to kill things with a 60% increased skill level when at minimum health.

 

[runtheplacered]

But then, getting called a hacker's really more of a compliment than anything else.

That's what I tell people all the time. "You do realize that if it turns out I'm not hacking, you're giving me the biggest compliment a person can give in a video game?"

 

[SteinFaust]

Low health seems to boost my reaction time and accuracy. it reminds me of a really good quote i read:
"he who fights out of despiration will survive, but he who fights to survive will perish."

 

[tiredinnuendo]

I *rock* at vehicle sections. Even in games that I otherwise suck at. Especially planes.

[cold killer pov]

in cod4 i can no scope from the top of cross fire to the bottom and land it... also in cod4 i can take out most people with an acog from most distances

 

[Imbrium]

I'm a pretty awesome grenade thrower, even if I do say so myself. [/ego]
After a couple of throws in any given game I can get a frag almost anywhere within reach.
