The only things I know of for single player competitions are: Broad Gaming PowerFest 1990-1995 Blockbuster Video Game Championships 1995-1998 Classic Gaming Expo (but it's all Atari and before) Microsoft's XBoX Challenge 2001 Game Specific G4TechTV "Arena" Console Matchup (but primarily multiplayer PC show) Ninja Gaiden Tournament 2004 F-Zero GX Global Championships 2003 I know at my college, we hold at least on Smash Bros tourney a semester, and the National SSBM tour comes there each year. I missed out on all but Fall 2003's Tourney, in which I advanced to the quarter finals before I was pissed at waiting 3 hours for my next matchup, so I left.

Heh, I was in the DKR contest in my area. I didn't come close to lapping the second best competitor, but every time I played I'd win by about 20 seconds, and I kept picking up my time. I would've had about six t-shirts at the end of it, but I started giving them to the second place guy, rofl. Of course, I'm no good at any other game, but I seem to have a lot of 'beginner's luck' whereas my plateau is lower.

I read on TG's "Greatest Gamers Nominees" page about David Wonn being able to press a button at a rate of nearly 20 times a second.
I want to know how fast anyone can spin a Nintendo 64 joystick, just so we can find out the greatest possible record on Mecha Fly Guy in Mario Party 1.
put yourself in my rocketpack if that poochie is one outrageous dude

I don't know about spinning joysticks, but I can move the joystick back and forth pretty fast because of all the practice I get doing mini turbos in Mario Kart games.

HAve you tried the bonus stage in Sonic Blastman on Snes? Very hard to do at the hardest mode.

Has anyone here maxed out the Lulu's overdrive for the best spells she can use? It invovles rotating the right analog stick on a PS2 controller.

Hmmm...See, owning the games like Rayman 3 on PS2, I don't have to worry about being called a cheater, using "tools" to help me. If I see a part I messed up on I record over it. If I severely screw up, I start over. The game's 3:30...last time I beat it. I just use my little thing called VHS, then I go onto the cool stuff like Video Capture Card... Anyway, I think, no matter how you do it, savestates or not, as long as you don't just bypass stuff, you're cool. (Hell, I don't even bypass recording the stairs before running up to kill Reflux.) So, in the end, whatever floats your boat, that's pretty cool. I don't really care...I do it my way, you do it your way.
If you are reading this, you aren't illiterate. :D Prevent not being illiterate. Somehow.

Wow. I just checked out their web sites and they have major issues. An entire section of the site comparing Bisquit to Hitler? What is wrong with those people?

Already discussed somewhere else. Now locking this topic - it had been inactive for a long time.
