What's new

video games you were dope at

I made it to nationals as a child playing MtG, and in a year of playing local tournaments every week never came less than third (but usually first). The organisers moved town so my scene sorta died out a little and I lost interest, but guess I was decent at that. On a similar tabletop note I've won every 40k tournament I've entered, so not bad there either.


I was in the top 50 Eve Online players for the majority of my playtime and I beat the guy know as the best player (winner of like every single one of their tournaments to date at that point, basically the sonicfox of Eve) live on stage in a 1v1


When I played Pokemon competitively I was generally sat in the top 100 on the ladder, but this one may not be so challenging



There's a bunch of games I THINK I was really good at. But in hindsight I don't actually really know, I mean I could beat my friends buy that probably doesn't mean a lot just that I'd played more than them. Games like Tony Hawks Pro Skater, Need for Speed Underground 2, Halo 1, etc


I'm above 4k MMR on Dota which isn't huge but is decent and puts me in the top 1%-5% globally I believe.
Calibrated Platinum on Starcraft and got close to Diamond I believe. Still something I've gotta pick back up.




I THINK I'm good at Dark Souls, but I'm not really sure. My friend who plays literally nothing but the Souls games gets me to beat bosses he can't clear (like Smough and Ornstein on NG+ ) and I've beaten all their games starting with Demon Souls now, and beat DS2 without ever using a shield which people told me would be crazy hard


There's a bunch of games out there in decent at but don't play enough to really call myself dope at. And I guess you could say I'm good at MKX.
DS2 without a shield was never that bad. Once you figure out when to roll and such, its pretty straightforward imo.

what r all games u were real good at/high level at. Or even top by rankings/tournament. I was actually never really a gamer, still not but a few ones I really liked


Team fortress classics - my favorite game for real. If console released, mk would b no more. LEX u and me prob ran into eachother at one time b4 2005 lol

Starcraft - the original. only strategy game I liked. my record was crazy

Fatal fury 2 - played the most as a kid on console but discovered on mame. wish it was more popular

Mortal kombat 2 - briefly one of the best on mame. Won an online tourny and was part of rawmk2 forums which was the bad boy place. Lol full of all asshole high level mk2 kings. Banned from trmk for bullying...however the mods don't remember all this lol. Mk2 player n moderator x820 befriended me n put me back on that forum while starting ultimate mk3. Silasomega, foozer, kanomk2, kensidj thnks 4 memories

Ultimate mk3 - started in late summer 2010. People on mame were harsh. Assumed that's how casual play was cuz game was so fast but didn't kno till later every1 was top of the tops minus few xbl only players. 2 online tourny wins, 4 offline altho maybe video game con shouldn't count at this point lol so 3

Mortal kombat trilogy - used 2 play on play station original. definitely not top...forgot lots of properties but anytime I get 2 play offline I do ok.

After mk9, sold my console in 2012 for gas money at a desperate time lol. No chance 2 play new games yet but when 360 swaps to xboxone I'll buy it. NO DOUB7 will b backk
Mk3 on xband for snes and genesis and umk to a degree (cant beat reo, cdsr or shock ) but smfh that was and still is ny shit. I dont use glitch jabs i use my jax and do me!!

Fps quake 1 via GameSpy plus duke nukem 3d for those that had my ip. Same with the og doom.

Most people are keeping it in the video game scene, but the first game I was ever good at was the Yu-Gi-Oh card game. Only went to an few locals which I did pretty well at but some of my most nostalgic memories come from that game
If we're talking no video games I body people in uno connect 4 and monopoly

Yall muhfuckaz can't see me at Kinectimals meng! I'm undefeated with the woodchuck, bodies everywhere...

Had some top tens on some Spots in all the EA Skate's. Some top tens in Trials HD and Evolution. Had a bunch of level designs at the top of the User Created Tracks along with one of my designs in Trials HD being put directly into the game through a builder contest. Also pioneered a harder difficulty than the hardest one in the base game which used to be Extreme.

Decent at all Battlefield's, not MLG though lol.

Halo: Combat Evolved. I'm 22 now and was 9 when the game came out I believe. I played it for years and joined leagues, managed clans and stuff and would play for fake internet points (but people who remained at the top for awhile actually would get prizes). I think there was a trial league called HaloTL where I had around 3 accounts on and all of them were within the top 20 or so players out of thousands. It was my first experience of competitive video games. I remember waking up early on Sundays to play in online tournaments, and even being a part of 2 different clans (one under an alias) who had to face eachother in the tournament. Lots of fun.

Yahoo Pool: Yeah man, I mean it. My Lobby was "Masse" in Yahoo Pool. There were leagues and shit in this game and I used to use auto typers to manage tournaments. I once again used aliases in the league I was in, and was at 1 point #1 on my main account and #5 on my alias. Not really that hard, but I basically used to run the table off the break around 50% of the time, and there were only ever a maximum of about 2 turns for each player. It helped me actually learn angles well for real pool which is why I can win money off my coworkers in it lol.

Halo 3: I was never competitive in it, but I used to boost accounts in the Team Doubles playlist to 50 with a friend for Microsoft Points. I peaked at Rank 48 in MLG (which was damn hard if anyone else remembers the Halo 3 MLG playlist). I remember I was on Back to Back Anoj's Top 10s (Episode 22 and 23 I think) at one point for clips I hit in this game. I always wanted to make a kickass montage but never got around to it, mostly cause I sucked at video editing at this time.

Gears of War 1+2+3: I wasn't good at it, (i mean i had a good kill death of course, but I literally was friends with people who were on pro teams so I consider myself crap) but I was apparently really damn good at editing montages of it. I got a huge following and had people continually wanting to pay me for me to edit their montage videos. I think collectively my montages have around 75,000 views. If you search "gow celebrity" on youtube you'll probably come across a ton of my stuff, but I'm not gonna post it here. At one point I was helping manage the youtube channel Gearsopedia which is probably still one of the biggest names when it comes to Gears of War content. Everything I learned in editing was self-taught and has helped me secure my very generous paying job today that by school standards I'm nowhere near qualified for.

Yeah I actually think it made some bosses easier, having power stance to just tear through em. Shield definitely makes area maps easier however, and would have come in handy on certain bosses like last sinner

An awp whore killer in CSS (PC) from late 2004 til about 2010. I still play every now and then. AK-47 + Glock.

I'm ok at UMK3 also.

Counter-Strike 1.6 :)

That's the only game I've ever seriously competed in. Wasn't CAL-I level, but I was extremely solid and played on a number of teams until I had to quit in order to get my life back.

Hours and hours and hours of scrims, practice, etc.
Seriously man, CS has a way of taking your life over like no other game.

Get over here!
The games I played at high level are really just MK9 and MKX.

I was good at other games like Gran Turismo series, Tokyo Extreme Racer Series, NHL Series, Elite Beat Agents (random I know) but they were not games I competed in or anything, just loved them and played them a lot so got fairly good at them in the process.
 
Gotham City Imposters I was number 5 on the Psych Warfare leaderboard and like 140 overall. I easily put around 600 hours into that game.Really sad that the game has died out (at least on console) me and most of the other top player would just pub stomp for hours but we all stopped after the only game mode being played still was TDM.

Def Jam FFNY Me and my high school buddies had a blast playing this game kicked all their asses 90% of the time. Ialso managed to knock someone out in 6 seconds but somehow my brother did it in 4 and I still have the record saved on my original Xbox.
NFL Street2\Nba Street 2 I would say i was better at NFL Street but I also kicked some ass in NBA Street.

Def jam FFNY was the shit! Sean Paul was my favourite. And I loved the parking lot map with the two vehicles where you could smash the hood onto your opponents head.
