Been thinking about gamers' power levels lately.. I have a few accolades under my belt..I was #1 pvper on elder scrolls for 1 like day. Then I was thinking about my dad. He had some of the most kills and highest kill death ratio on a handful of maps on a somewhat popular FPS. He was, at one time, probably an even more powerful gamer than me. My grandpa had like some of the most hours logged on one of the maps lol.

Then I started thinking about who was the best gamer I know in real life. One of my best buds had almost like all 99s on runescape without botting. And online friends..I was thinking about how Jack Daniels from FYAD had some Persona records at one time. Lucy has shown me her Ultima accounts. A lot of Imps have beaten an insane amount of video games..Mycophobia is like a semi-pro Tetris player or something. A lot of ppl who use this forum are like way more powerful than me and my dad combined..

But of all time. Who are the best gamers of all time?! Some might be on this forum for real. The first candidate that came to mind for me would have to be The Angry Video Game nerd. I was watching some of his videos today, like the Mortal Kombat rip off episode. Which was very funny. But it got me thinking--this guy has beaten so many loving games :staredog: He's badass because he not only reviews the lovely games he finds ways to beat them. He's one of the best classic video gamers ever. He's powerful as gently caress. I think he might get his rear end whipped on modern stuff, but I would never be able to discount him..

Would love to hear some more nominations on who you think belongs in the gamer hall of fame. As well as the losers (the Todd Rogers guy?), and just some epic gamer power level stories. :cheers:

TheMexicanRunner has beaten every single NES game and he also has an extremely epic accent.

I think one time I saw him run cuphead for an event. He seemed cool and strong.

Billy Mitchell and Todd Rogers op

That's so epic and funny as hell. I think you should make like Billy Mitchell's hot sauce and go squirting out of some guy's rear end and into the drain where you belong :cheers:

He served in nam for crying out loud. Let him deal with his PTSD the normal way of killing people online in first person shooters, please.

I had a friend in high school who was godlike at any game he touched. weird korean guy named Daniel. He invited me over to his house and we played a bunch of street fighter and guitar hero.

Anyway, the funny part about this is he lived in his basement and had a microwave and a mini fridge down there. There was a candle on top of the microwave and he saw me looking at it cuz i was like why this mf got a regular rear end candle on top of his microwave. he goes think you can extinguish the candle's flame with a punch? lol i said sure man, let's try it. It took me like 4 tries and he was like alright now watch this. He takes like a minute to set up and then he punched the poo poo out of his microwave and was gripping his fist and loving screaming and while he was doing that I had to make sure the candle didnt burn down the house lol

A guy in primary school would invite me over to his house a lot to play Tekken but I'd say I was busy as he was kind of weird and we both lived in the countryside so if I got a lift to his house id have to stay there a few hours. I eventually agreed to go over and play tekken tag tournament with him because he said he was really good at it and had all the unlocks so he could just copy it to a memory card for me.

I don't play fighting games so when I'd play tekken I'd just button mash or I learned a few easy moves with Hworang and I mainly liked playing in training mode and having the computer do the long combos so I could see what they look like. The first fight I won a round then he won the next two but kept saying he was rusty. Then he proceeded to perfect ko me every time and after every round he'd do like the shawshank redemption pose and growl before yelling "I have awakened"

a friend lent me some military sim shooter for the ps2 where you gave orders to a squad and stuff, and you generally died in one hit. i was really struggling with the opening missions because as soon as youre spotted you eat a bullet and Id never played anything like this

my brother was watching and goes "this poo poo is easy. what are you even doing?" he had never played any shooter on a ps2 much less a sim, so I said fine you do it and threw him the controller. he immediately orders his squad to wait in place (ur supposed to use them to distract/suppress etc.) walks out and perfectly headshots every enemy in the area and beelines for the objective and got a crazy 3 minute S tier time on the mission and kept complaining the entire time that I was retarded to not figure out how to play this correctly

when i was a kid i once went to an acquaintance? friend? of my dad's. dude had a huge rear end house, you can tell he was very high class. dinner was fancy, cutlery was fine, but before all that, we had to wait while poo poo was getting cooked. dad and his friend talked about boring poo poo a kid would never understand so they told me this guy's kid had a playstation. I went to his room. I dont remember much about the room or the kid, but he said he had Crash Team Racing, and asked if I wanted to play.
You know how youre friends with other kids who clearly dont spend nearly as much time playing games, but still invite you over and you decimate them? And CTR, you know its mario kart, you do drifts and do miniturbos and just chain them over and over while avoiding some items from the enemies. By that point ive beaten the game a billion times and learned how to never stop boosting on every track.
I was like "i dunno, im pretty good at this one, it might be unfair"
He replied "Oh dont worry, I'm pretty good too"
I still cant remember if i won or not. Maybe im supressing the memory for the sake of my ego, but i genuinely cant remember. I'm inclined to say I lost nearly all the races but id be lying by saying that too. This kid was absolutely *insane*, every race was edge of my seat. I underestimated him and it was like a shonen battle in my mind back then lmao. and I dont remember a single thing about him, his dad, their names, the place, the date, or any info i could give to my dad that might help know who he was. I like to think hes still out there doing Dante Must Die S Ranks and getting the highest ranks in CS and LoL

If we're talking MMO griefing there was a recent scam in FFXI where someone made a copy of this character:



Named the character "Odoro" and placed himself standing inside the NPCs model. Then they set up a script where they will auto accept any trade offers. Oboro is who you trade all the end game materials/items to to get them upgraded, and you trade to NPCs with the same system you use to trade to other players. So he stole hundreds of millions of gil in items and materials from people who weren't paying attention.
