Your thinnest margin of victory ever.

[BigHandInSky]

Dawn of war 2 custom match, it was a team FFA, in which you have to cap and hold more victory points than the other teams [3 in all, 5 points on the map i was playing, 2 people in each team], my team won by 17 points, and to put that into perspective, you need to get 2000 points to win, my best victory yet.

You lucked out, dude. Really should've used surf.

Anyway, this one time playing the Nod campaign on Tiberian Sun. That one mission early on where you finally take out Hassan. I sent a woefully understrength force into his base in a push to get to the pyramid. Most of them died in the assault, and the survivors got shredded by the lasers outside the pyramid. All except for one, little rocket trooper. He found one spot where he could hit the pyramid outside of the range of the lasers. It took him about 15 minutes of constant firing, but he finally took the thing down. Peace through power, little guy.

Bynine and I get together and play Blazblue (like we are doing...right now), quite recently we had a fight where I won but had so little heath that you could barely see it on the heath gauge, if Tager had so much as breathed on me I would have lost.

As an add on (this is Bynine ) I was playing HeartGold and I was down to my last Pokemon against Lance. Unfortunately, it was my level 33 Donphan versus his Aerodactyl (which was almost dead but still). His Rock Slide left me at about two health, and I promptly creamed the rest of his health.

btw i rock with Tager (Bynine)
I creamed you with Noel (Mariakitten)

I was down to 1 on the chaos timer when I bet the Sheva sisters in FF13

I love winning race games by 0.01 of a second.
Also after reading this:

I was down to 1 on the chaos timer when I bet the Sheva sisters in FF13

I remembered i did the exact same thing! The first Summon is the hardest Summon to earn.

Another Pokemon one, when I was playing through blue for the first time.
I was at fighting my rival at the end of the elite four, I have all of my pokemon intact, but my party is so poorly trained that the only thing I had which was worth anything was my Blastoise and it's low on health and pp points. I was also 12 years old and an absolute idiot and had saved in the last room. When Venusaur gets thrown into the fray I realise I've probably gone about this the wrong way, here's how it went down...

....(sorry, I've forgotten what I called him) sent out Venusaur.
Blastoise drew back it's head...
Venusaur started absorbing sunlight...
Blastoise used Skull bash! Critical hit!(Venusaur drops to about 1/3 health)
Venusaur used Solar beam! Blastoise fainted...
I sent out a level 31 Wigglytuff (The rest of my team was that bad)
I don't remember which attack he used (maybe vine whip) but it took Wigglytuff to the point where the game was singing the low health alarm at me.
Wigglytuff used Sing... Venusaur fell asleep.
I used a revive, it's still fast asleep.
I switch back to Blastoise and manage to get off another Skull Bash before the thing wakes up from its kip.

Yeah, in Pokemon Ruby, I had 42 hp left on my Blaziken, and no potions when I beat the Elite Four... it was on a critical hit.

Can't name any one in particular, but Ive had a lot of close calls while playing street Fighter 4

 

[Thyunda]

Too Human. I was up against one of the many hordes of undead in Helheim, and I'd just taken out one of the skimmers. Unfortunately, this left me with a horde of undead Wolves, which are far tougher than regular undead. My health was so low I couldn't even see it, it was such a thin line.
I unleashed the sentient weapon, Fenrir, then used four Ruiners, one after the other. The horde was wiped out, dropping a few health orbs. I genuinely thought I would have died. Again.

 

[Bigsmith]

Team fortress 2 a few nights ago, in arena mode. Just me and a medic left ( i was a medic as well) against 7 people in the other team. We medic chained and won.

 

[PunkyMcGee]

I have won by less than a pixel of health many times in street fighter. But really, any real player knows it doesn't matter if you win by a pixel or an entire health bar. Winning is all that matters.

same here, having one pix vs a half a bar and pull it out and severly P/O my brother.

 

[hazabaza1]

Actually got this a few days ago:

Was replaying Motorstorm 1, driving racing truck on sidewinder. Came around last turn riding the bumper of 1st place. Figured we were too close to get past him so just decide to boost-explode for a cool finish before restarting the race. Boost-explosion launches me forward over the 1st place car as we cross finish line. Margin of victory: .02 secs

OT: Probably something in Mass Effect 2 insanity mode. That is tense!

A game I had on Brawl once when I was being introduced to the game (although I had played all the previous versions, and we were using Gamecube controllers, so I knew most of what I was doing) I played as Ice Climbers against Pit. We were pretty evenly matched, although I think that throughout the game I had the edge.

10 seconds before the timer went, we were both on two kills, but I had inflicted more damage to him. I dodged out of the way of an attack, and struck him with a smash move, but just as he was about to fly out of the ring, the timer ended. As the screen slowed down, he actually ended up falling out, which was frustrating.

As it was technically a draw, sudden death started, and I started in on the attack straight away. Neither of us was able to land a proper blow on each other though, until he ended up hitting a smash ball, and I got wiped out by that.

Alright, so it's not a victory, but it's the most evenly matched game I remember right now.

 

[Gwarr]

Won a BC2 rush map with 1 reinforcement left and me assaulting the last base . Was kinda epic.

 

[MetaKnight19]

The most recent thin margin victory I had was only a couple of hours ago in Pokémon SoulSilver, when I was battling Red at the top of Mt. Silver. My team consisted of
Lv.75 Typhlosion
Lv.75 Feraligatr
Lv.76 Meganium
Lv.27 Skarmory
Lv.17 Tentacool.
The Skarmory and Tentacool where HM slaves used to get to the top of the mountain, and were used as sacrifices in the battle so I could revive and heal other Pokémon. Regardless I was left with Feraligatr with about 1/3 of its health and just managed to KO his Charizard, thus defeating Red, thanks to the Quick Claw I had equipped.

Hey that one pixel thing can ether way, It happens like 50% of the time in Guilty Gear. I think I panic at the last pixel anyways.

In MW2 on Rust, I was doing pretty bad (about 2 deaths for every 1 kill), when all of a sudden, someone shot me and put me in final stand. I killed them, and the two others around them, got back up and ended up with a 10-kill streak. I ended up winning the round for us 7500-7400.
