My top10 are: 1 - Age of empires 2 Trial version - PC 2 - Contra 3 - SNES 3 - Tetris Attack - SNES 4 - F-zero - SNES 5 - Batman - NES 6 - Ninja Gaiden 1 (or 2 or 3, all same thing) - NES 7 - Battletoads Battlemaniacs - SNES 8 - King of Dragons - SNES 9 - Tetris 2 - NES 10 - Super Ghouls'N Ghosts - SNES (or the nes one, ghosts'n goblins) yea, u read right, i play the trial version of age of empires 2, i don't like full version! and there are many like me, so live with it ;) i play multiplayer of course.

For me, the games I have the most "skill" at are rhythm/music based games. Beatmania (and all other bemani games), Punch/Fighting Mania, all other music games such as Parappa and Vib Ribbon, Bishi Bashi, Tant/Ichidant-R, Wario Ware... those kind of things. With those games, I can literally just pick up the game and beat it right away without having ever played it before, or getting any practice, as they're based on reactions for the most part. As for other kinds of games, then puzzle games like Puyo Puyo and Tetris, and simple light-Gun shooters such as Point Blank. Thinking about it, these are reaction-based, too. Those games I am naturally good at, however, I'm also 'good' at other games simply from playing them so much... Mega Man 2 and most fighting games spring to mind. However, it took me a very long time to 'learn' those games, I couldn't just pick them up and breeze through it.

1. Final Fantasy II/IV (SNES) 2. Final Fantasy (NES) 3. Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 (NES) 4. Gauntlet (NES) 5. Legend of Zelda (NES) 6. Megaman 2 (NES) 7. Dance Dance Revolution (PS/PS2) 8. Actraiser (SNES) 9. Soul Blazer (SNES) 10. Aerobiz (SNES) This is in order of internal knowledge of the games, which roughly translates to how good I am at those games (I'm inclined to abandon any game that I don't 'get' relatively quickly). I prefer RPGs and Sims (obviously) to more action-oriented games, but I guess I dabble in most genres, at least a little.

1. Quake2 (PC) 2. Quake3Arena (PC) 3. Age of Empires2: The Expansion Set (PC) 4. Tetris (Ti-86) 5. Super Mario Bros (NES) 6. Top Gear (SNES) 7. NHL95 (SNES) 8. Minesweeper (PC) 9. Super Off-Road (NES) 10. Igo Meikan (NES) There are a lot of games I am good at. These are just examples and I don't know if I have the most skill at them. I used to play Quake games a lot and usually was at the top of the scoreboard. I have beat all of my console games except Swords&Serpents (NES)(not because it is too difficult but because my keen on it usually disappears when I am at the floor 13/15.)

Dance Dance Revolution (arcade), definitely. I belong in the top 10 in Finland. :) Other games do not spring to mind...I guess I'm not that good of a gamer. :/

- Diablo II. I am unequivocally the best in the world. (I can hear you all chuckling to yourselves that this game involves no skill ... well you're all wrong!) - WarCraft III Beta. I never lost a game during the beta, though I also never bought or played the retail version. I'm not sure how my skills would fare today. - StarCraft. Top 32 finisher in the first ladder season. I haven't played in years, so again I'm not sure how my skills would fare today. - TetriNet. - Spades. - Settlers of Catan. - Boggle

Do you play online using the Java thing, or do you use CAPCOM's PS2 / cellphone version, or do you actually play the real board game?

someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster. I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.

I mostly just play it at LANs, but if enough of my friends are on, I'll play online with them. Pretty good at it.

#1 (by far): Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike. I play Oro, and my current goal is to become the best in the United States with him. #2: Guilty Gear, XX and #reload. I use Bridget, some think I'm the best with him in the US but I don't buy it (haven't played against Combofiend from California, who regularly places high in major tournaments) After that would be Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (HONDA BEST MAN) and Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution (Slowly becoming competent with Wolf, still can't EDTEG though). Also various other fighters which aren't really big competitively here (the SFEX series, King of Fighters '98, Last Blade 2, SF3: 2nd Impact, TMNT Tournament Fighters, and the list goes on...) I'm sure you can see what my strongest genre is...if anyone here wants to play me on Kaillera or Zbattle in anything, I'm game. =) As for single-player games, I never focused too much on records or such. I could beat Contra and the first Ninja Gaiden without dying...I guess I'm decent at the Streets of Rage series, though I still have YET to ever beat Mania difficulty in #2. Oh, and Lezard, nice to see another SNK fan on here besides me! =) Seems like a lot of people love Mark of the Wolves, but it doesn't do a whole lot for me...still solid though. -Josh

but then you take my 75 perchance chance of winning, if we was to go one-on-one, and then add 66 and two-thirds ch...percents...i got a 141 and two-thirds chance of winning at sacrifice

Ah - is Cities and Knights any good? I've heard a lot of people say it's fun, but.. I have two copies of the board game for bigger multipayer games (the 5-6 expansion sucks).. ^_^

1. SF2 series/SFA 2,3 - Arcade (Ill give $100 to whoever beats me at this) 2. Megaman 2 - NES (speedrun coming soon) 3. Quake - PC (^o^) 4. SMB 3 - NES (speedrun coming soon) 5. Marvel vs Capcom - Arcade 6. House of the Dead 2 - Arcade 7. Point Blank 1,2 - Arcade 8. SMB - NES (speedrun coming soon) 9. DDR/BeatMania - Arcade 10. Mike Tyson's Punch-out - NES Theres probably a few other games that should be up there on the list, but those are the ones that are most certain. I left out all the RPGs because theres so many and I really can't tell how good I am at each in comparison to those 10.
