What games do you flat-out suck at?

The Pokemon games. I'm way too indecisive and I have no sense of strategy. Like when I run into a wild Pokemon that I don't already have I think "Should I fight it? But what if I run out of PP? Where's the nearest Pokemon Center? How about catching it? What ball should I use?"
However, I always keep an electric Pokemon handy for (dun dun DUUUUUUUUN!) ZUBAAAAAAT!

This, exactly, except I haven't tried GH1. Medium seems to be my limit. As soon as I have to start moving my hand, it goes all stupid and I have no idea where it is or what buttons I'm hitting anymore. Which is a shame, because I love it so.Blind Sight said:
Also, real-time strategy and RPGs. I'll take Shining Force and Temple of Elemental Evil over Warcraft and Dragon Age any day. Maybe I just need to spent my next lump of experience points to increase my Wits rating.
I'm absolutely awful at RTS games, I could sit and build a defense all day long, but I will always be wiped out quickly. I'm so so with realistic racing games like Forza and Gran Turismo, it seems like the more unrealistic the racing game the more god like I am. And I cannot forget sports games, I just can't really grasp how to advance in them so I'm usually quite awful.
Smash Brothers, can't get used to it at all and all my friends are great at it, oh and MVC2 as well, maybe they practice? I never play them on my own
RTS.
I never played C&C, I played one round of StarCraft when it first came out and only got 1 and 2 this year, played WarCraft2 mostly with cheats, barely managed to get through WarCraft3, but cheated again at the end of Frozen Throne, only really played Galactic Battlegrounds because it's Star Wars and for the same reason played Empire at War - on easy.
I'm too slow and deliberate, my main MO is turtling -> researching -> steamrolling; which most games don't actually allow to be a viable strategy.
Especially the oh so fabled StarCraft, apparently. Against random people (or even the AI...) you lose against early rushes, and even when playing with a friend who agrees not to lolrush, the one who gets to the expansions first wins (which is also true in EaW MP). That's a stupid system and I don't get why people like it.
Sins of a Solar Empire was the only one where I could do what I do and once I conquered a 250+planet galaxy three times it got kinda boring. And it counts, it's not really 4X, it's real-time 3-and-a-half-X.
And looking at the various Civilizations, I'm probably too dumb for turn-based strategy.

Yea I often get my ass handed to me in that one but I still love it and play it all the time. However, while I get shot out of the sky a lot, I am a crafty fighter on the ground who?s very good at concealing mines and sneaking up on people. Still, I spend most my time getting shot out of the sky. Then again, it depends on what music is playing: if I got The Go Team blaring Titanic Vandalism, I do a hell of a lot better.ELxSQUISHY said:
And RTSs. I do fine on the sp campaigns but in multiplayer, I?m always getting overrun. Once again, it?s still a lot of fun.
I also get my ass kicked in fighting games but for some (like MvC) I love to just mash buttons with my friends.
