Starcraft 2 and Dawn of War 2. Only 2 RTS games I've tried the online multiplayer for and I have 1 victory between them.
FIFA 12, but then nearly everyone sucks at it.

I'm not very good at Gears of War or League of Legends, but I still play them.
I'm crap at most football/rugby/american-football games.
I used to be crap at racing games and WoW, but I'm good at those two now.
I'm okay at puzzle games and therefore thoroughly enjoy them.
I'm not very good at Skyrim despite completing Oblivion on PC on Hard, Fallout 3 on 360 on Expert & Fallout: NV on 360 on hardcore. I've only just managed to play with the difficulty on normal - I'm ashamed of this as I know the lore & expanded universe like the back of my hand. :'(
Inversely, I'm bored with CoD and getting bored of Halo as I would say I'm in the "9th tier of skill"[footnote]2 under MLG, as MLG isn't a skill but a pathetic lifestyle - assuming there are 10 tiers of skill where tier 5 is a 1.25 k/d and decent objective capability (or equivalent), tier 1 is someone's first few games and tier 10 is god-like with the odd death; and are too moral/lively/humane to become MLG.[/footnote] in both. While CoD never changes enough to make it interesting, the games themselves require minimal usage of the brain therefore fail to become a challenging/fun experience for me (aside for the many many bugs and balance holes). Halo, on the other hand, keeps you thinking throughout almost any online match, unless you're playing against a really shit team. But alas; pointing at things and shooting can only be fun for so long...

FIFA and NHL, i dont know what it is but i allways loose, im a top prestige and level cod player who owned battlefield 3 after a day, i can play pretty much any fps or adventure games on veteran, but my 14 year old cousin still runs circle around me in hockey games.
Cant play sportgames for shit and i have played them quiet a lot.

Tekken, or just fighting games in general, I love me some Tekken, its an amazing series but i just dont have the patience or reflexes to do well at it 
Every racing game. Grid, Dirt, Forza, whatever. I crash on every turn, never get the controls right, and frequently find myself going the wrong direction >.>
I really suck at the Halo multiplayer. Other FPS's I'm alright at, but I can't play that at all.
Why don't those power-armoured bastards die in a reasonable amount of shots?!

Shooters, I know you can learn to become a better shooter guy but well lets say that in CS 1.5 my best kill was one when I waited with a silenced hand gun on top of a roof.
You would say "Well you are good at sniping games" nope...
That is why I like RPG's from bethesda if you go snipe either in Skyrim, fallout 3 or NV you get to enjoy some help.
I am just not a person that can walk around a place with a gun and make the 0.0004 second "Who are you, Enemy? Shoot!"
I am much better strategically. Really if you would put a controller in my hand and MW2/MW3. I would make someone very happy with a high score. Not mine though!

Weirdly enough, I can't think of any games I'm legitimately BAD at. I've always been very good at getting the hang of things pretty quickly, and as soon as I know my enemy, I'm very hard to kill.
To be fair, strategy games make me nervous. I've always been a defence-first type of person. In Dawn of War, I liked to build my base up, set up a perimeter of turrets and position infantry teams in craters between my base and the enemy's.
I quickly learned that this method does not work online. Unfortunately, Chaos Space Marines are somewhat unbalanced. The average marine is an overpowered monstrosity, and they can be churned out quickly and cheaply, rushing your base so you can't even hope to develop superior technology. My own space marines held them back at the craters, but for every squad that died, I had to get reinforcements across the fields to the crater, while the enemy just had a god-damn steady stream of them. Relief came when my ally came in with a few vehicles, mostly flamer-armed ones, but then we lost the game, because enemy #2 had been waiting for this, and rushed the ally's base while his men were reinforcing mine. That left me with two streams to cope with. I went down fighting...I have THAT to be proud of.

I suck hard at racing games (I think Ridge Racer Revolution was the last one i beat without cheats) and real-time strategy (I love strategy games but am only any good at the turn-based variety).
I'm mweh on FPS but i'm not overkeen on them either so its no great loss.

I suck at rts'. I really love them but boy am I shit at them. I play multi-player a lot, but not with them, because i just get owned every time i go on it haha.
Supreme commander comes to mind, and I've never played starcraft but I don't need to play it to know I would get owned hard.

Pretty much this, though rather than sucking at specific ones, I'm only good at specific ones. I'm good at 90's style FPS games, and can beat all my friends at Mario Kart, but other than that I shoot and drive like I've got no arms.Blue Deity said:
I cannot for the life of me play RTS games. I lent Command And Conquor (I forget which one exactly) from a friend once... couldn't even get past the first stage.
Also, as much I like the game, I can't really play Valkyria Chronicles either. Not sure why I'm bad at it, guess I'm just not very good at tactics.
Blazblue: Calamity Trigger was too difficult for me on the Normal difficulty. Then I only just managed to complete the Arcade mode on Easy. I like the game, but it doesn't like me...
