thought about this today, that even though I play a lot of games I've never really mastered any to an impressive degree. the closest I've come is running speedier clears of Metroid games using sequence breaks and glitches but even those take me a lot of attempts. and even though I've played 500 hours of souls games I still die all the time because I play without any sense of caution.

is anybody here really really loving good at one game?

I used to be really good at Street Fighter III: Third Strike with Makoto years ago, it was the only time I was really any good at a fighting game.

Yeah zero mission is the only game I've done where I've completed it in a gimmick run, low% hard mode which was a nightmare but insanely satisfying to beat

I played Deus Ex: Human Revolution a ton and got really good at it. I ended up doing it without augs or items at all.

I thought 100% hard was actually harder because the ultra version of meta Ridley has like 5x as much health and can one shot you anyway

i play most games i like until im really good at them. but im best at racing sims, i was a top 100 worldwide player in GT6 seasonal events (they used to get 200k+ people posting times for them), and im top of a fair few leaderboards for project cars on the ps4. my quick match race win ratio in GT6 was about 86%, and they were public races (crashfests) with random grid orders.

When I was 10 or whatever I got to the point where I could breeze through Yoshi's Island without any difficulty from playing through it so much, not a super challenging game, but probably the best I've ever been at one game. Also maybe my favorite game ever

That's me with super Mario world. Not like speedrun levels or anything, but I picked it up on the eshop last year for the first time in a decade and remembered nearly every jump, it was kinda scary lol

I believe it. This is also the longest game in a while I am already planning to replay and try the hard challenges, etc.

I'm good at every game I play due to my big brain and natural gaming talent but I can pretty much beat Dark Souls 1 with my eyes closed at this point so I guess it's that

I never lose at Dark SOuls PVP unless the other person is cheating by using a more powerful weapon or build than me.
