So, tell me fellow escapees, which games are you just truly terrifingly good at, either because of natural talent or lots and lots and lots of practice?
For me:
The Tekken games. Practice made me pretty perfect.
Resident Evil 4:
I played this game so much, I was able to give everything headshots with every weapon from everywhere. I basically sniped with my basic handgun, I did handgun-only-no-upgrade-runs, and even one melee only (against everything that can be meleed)-runs.
I spent WAY too much time with that game, which is, why it's still my all-time favourite.

And last but not least: Vanquish.
Sheer talent. The flow fits pretty much perfect with what I want the perfect shooter to be.
And the fact that you have to plan a few stepts ahead is also nice.
Update:
After not having played Resi Evil 4 and Vanquish for quite some time now, I picked them up again the last couple of days.
In both games my skills have dulled.
In Resi Evil 4, I am back to upgrading weapons and, well, not owning everything everywhere anymore, since I seem to have forgotten some parts of some levels.
In Vanquish I am still beyond adequate I would venture, but challenges and God Hard are really challenging atm.

I was always a dab hand at the Homeworld series. A very dab hand indeed.

It's a shame that it was never particularly big, it would be nice to really excel at a competitive game.

The original Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64.

With Link, I could defeat three lvl. 9 Kirbys (which were in a team), items disabled, with ease. There is pretty much no harder challenge in the game.

(Oh yeah, I also won the story mode on hardest difficulty with only one life without dying once...no biggie.)

MGS3. Oh god MGS3. I've played through that game too many times to count, and as a result I'm pretty damn good.

Valkyria Chronicles for sure!, 3rd person platformers (Like the Sly Cooper Series)& the occasional 3rd person multi-player match hot streak. I quite skilled at stealth and theft(huh I just noticed you can't spell stealth with out steal.)
Judgment90 said:
Even though it's an RPG, I feel like I know practically everything about the game, without the use of a stratrgy guide or without too much outside help.
Which one or just in general?
crap, I forgot to list one down.

mainly things like FFT and Tactics Ogre, I managed to master both of those games with little outside help.

I'm ok at Guitar Hero (can five star everything but the crazy songs on expert (Jordan, TTFAF, DWDDG, most of final tier WoR)

I can beat Battletoads pretty easily, but I guess that game's not too hard when you know what's coming.

I'm not terrible or excellent at Tetris but I enjoy it and if I lose it's no big deal, but I'm pretty awesome at that game. I've won more games then lost.

Armored Core 4 when I had it - shouldn't have sold it. I was "almost" unstoppable. Memorized the fire speed of the weapons so I knew exactly when and where to dodge most everything and with my reverse joint craft I could instantly switch between land and air maneuvers.

Assassins Creed Brotherhood's multilayer too. Love that mind-game stuff.

Playing the gunner in double dash, paired with my friend who's the same as a driver we're unstoppable.

I'm normally average at BF3, but for some reason I can drunken master it pretty well, maybe because I stop overthinking it.

Do the Ace Attourney and Professor Layton games count? I got 100% correct (as in no wrong answers or retries on anything) on Pandora's Box and Lost/Unwound Future (I couldn't find one puzzle in Curious Village), and I'm on for perfecting Last Spectre as well... Didn't get overruled in Miles Edgeworth.
Used to be damn good at the pokemon games, hilariously having never watched it, we did a tournament at school as well, about 3 weeks after I'd got Crystal, and there were no rules... The only guy who beat me exclusively used legendaries, a month later I beat him and he gave up...
I guess you could count FIFA '06 since I beat Real Madrid 5-0 on legendary with Darlington, but playing FIFA 12 in 2 tournaments at Uni and I basically got my arse handed to me because of the massive change in controls (different console and a control overhaul as well). Could also add the Football Manager games in since I won all but one match in my last season on 2012, winning the Prem, both English top cups, Community shield and Champions League with Middlesbrough, and with severe injury crises (I drew away at Man City).

The most shocking: Tiger Woods on PSP... never had a round worse than 5 under par... had more than 20 under par a few times... The thing is, when you get so good, what's the fucking point? It has RPG elements so I'll get better, but the challenge has never been there for me... And even if I start again, I'll win everything again, whereas with the Pokemon games, I can start again, role-play, blah, and there is some kind of story...

Edit: Forgot Altitude... always top 3 in FFA deathmatch, always star player in plane ball, and usually scored all 6 goals very fast... yeah, it was on beginner servers, but I was either hyper low level when I played a lot, and when I got towards the level cap, I hadn't played since the initial burst, so going back on effectively as a newbie again and schooling people who were similar level who were practiced...

Over the Hedge - loved that game as a child. I surely spent more than 50 hous on it and got absolutely EVERTHING you can ever get in that gama (perfect scores, all colectibles, all achievements in Minigames , all hats, EVERYTHING. and i loved it, and i was reallly good at it.

hm... Mortal Kombat Overdose - a PC 2D remaster of MK3 with A LOT OF CHARACTERS. we played it on the INformatics (aka the lesson where u learn to use pascal and write boolean codes - even tho i never did)and i rocked with Sub-Zero(fav char).

im pretty good at 2d Final Fantasy games (playin on a emulator with a weak laptop which shuts off from youtube videos) played a lot of FFVI and by the end i was kinda god at it.
also FF2 on my mobile -really good at it but i dunno if it really requires skill.

Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper Edition (PC) - so many HOURS. By the end of all my playthrougs i could play a LVL1 char on END BOSS levels and still win.

Naruto M.U.G.E.N. Relics of Konoha - got so good i knew all the chars moves inside out. Also i added so many chars to the game to make it much more interesting (love mugen customization. Also i was 11 when i figured how to edit the game. Talent!

This might seem way out in left field, but I got to be obscenely good at American McGee's Alice. Of course, it used to be one of only a handful of decent games I owned before Steam and more money came along. I used to watch Let's Plays of that game and pull my hair out at people who were losing on Normal, when I could curb-stomp the game on Nightmare. I'm pretty damn good at the sequel too.

Back in High School I was pretty decent at Quake. Of course, I designed custom levels so I had to know the game pretty well.

And even before that I was awesome at the X-Wing series. I was in an online group that would compete, running leaderboard stats for missions. I miss those games, they need a remake.

I'm a pretty decent pilot in Evochron Mercenary as well. Only two PvP fights under my belt and I managed to be an even match for the guy who hosts regular PvP tourneys.
Really, what's you call-sign? You can never have enough PvP with that game. I usually hang out at Starport 6, or whatever server actually has people on it. You'd think Evochron would be a great game for epic PvP battles, but all the major clans are way too chummy with each other and everyone's expected to play nice. That game needs a few troublemakers, or at least better ones.

Excellent, a bragging thread. I uh... I may play games too often.

Ultima Online t2a era free shards. I win tournaments nonstop. And consistently kill people 1v2 - 1v5 in the field.

Warcraft 3. Play as Orc. I was rank top 20 on the 1v1 ladder for like 8 months until I got bored. And was consistently on the 2v2 top 100 for like 2-3 years. I've actually gotten recognized on Starcraft 2 for being a high end WC3 ladder player.

Mount and Blade Warband & WFAS I'm a nonstop headshot machine as a horse archer

Dragon Age Origins Not sure how impressive this actually is. Some people find it impressive. I didn't really find it to be that hard. But I did a full playthrough on nightmare mode with all content finished all revnants killed without pausing to give orders.

Not sure if these count as 'are' or 'used to be' because I haven't played them in a long time.

Doom. I went somewhere in the 250s on kills for 3 deaths in a 40 person LAN match; in a comp sci class that was filled with computer nerds. I actually got to about 180 kills without dying, then decided to be cocky and custom change my uniform from the default green to a dark blue. Which was like painting a big target on my forehead.

Quake 2. I was one of those jackasses who would nail people with both of us being in mid air with a rocket launcher or a railgun.

Starcraft 2. Went 37 wins for 0 losses on ladder during the last patch on beta right before release. Basically made me not want to play the game though, was really boring.

Aliens versus Predator 2 Played as an alien runner. Had an amazing understanding of pouncing physics. I could leap off surfaces from the weirdest diagonal angles and still hit running targets.

Call of Duty(The original). I played semi professionally because there wasn't really a professional scene(just tournaments for small cash prizes.) Used a non-scoped bolt-action for speed of firing, accuracy and extremely high damage. Preferably a Mosin Nagant with an SMG for backup so that I can pretend I'm Simo Hayha. Had custom sensitivity hotkeys so that I could change on the fly for long range shots. Basically if you were on my screen, I could kill you in under a second at any range. And I had a good eye for acquiring targets. My highest score was 127 kills for 1 death.

One time on a rotating spawn map me and two clanmates got stuck in a crater that the enemy was spawning ontop of. People were coming in at us from every which way. Spawning directly ontop of us in every direction. I wouldn't call it spawn camping though, because they had about 30 players and with a spawn timer of 5-10 seconds their team was immediately aware of us and there were way too many to kill instantly. Luckily jumping and proning makes it very difficult for people to shoot you if they aren't that good at the game. By the end we had killed about 70 enemies between the 3 of us without dying ourselves(though two of us only had slivers of HP left.) It was one of the most intense fight I have ever been in. lasted about 3 minutes of nonstop killing, and we were expending ammo so quickly that we could only keep it up by constantly switching weapons out for ones on the ground. I definitely used at least a dozen different guns in that fight.

Mount and Blade Warband: The Napoleonic wars

I am awesome at that somehow, I have a high hit ratio (for that game) and make a damn fine melee fighter and leader.
I fought 1v23 and killed 19 of them. Top that. And earlier in that round I had killed another 7 players out of 100 some-odd enemies.

Devil May Cry 3, Bayonetta and Resident Evil 4, was so addicted to them I got really good at them, also starting to get good at Rayman Origins through trial and error (mostly error)
