Ask me about my Stream Deck
I guess a lot of people were that way... Maybe that's why I had the edge lol

Metal Gear Solid. Used to play The Twin Snakes basically on loop as a kid. Done quite a few no alert runs, think my record was about 2 hours...which considering I was just a dumb kid with no knowledge of speedrunning and didn't have the internet at the time...is pretty impressive. Another one I played a lot is RE2, so much in fact that I can still play it basically blindfolded.

I'm really good at Souls games, including Bloodborne. I'm only OK at Sekiro though, and I'm pretty bad at Nioh.

Big fish, small pond for a lot of these:
X-Men vs Street Fighter - undefeated for years even when getting beaned by air hockey pucks
Vampire Savior - almost as dominant
Wave Race 64/Mario Kart 64 - friends couldnt hang.
Battletanx - when paired up with a friend of mine we were unstoppable.
Eyeshield 21 ps2 - spent so much time on this I cant imagine anybody knowing it as well as me.

The only game I've ever played at a higher level was MLB The Show. Around 17 I started getting good and by 18 I was reaching the highest tiers in competitive matches. However, more recently I've been declining as my reflexes get worse and my time to play growing smaller. I still win most of my matches but I'm more or less at the second or third tiers now.

I'm pretty sure it only came out in Asia and Europe but after some thought I would fuck you all up at Bishi Bashi Special.

The only game I think I ever truly perfected was Mortal Kombat 2. I played it obsessively for years and knew every special move, combo, every offensive, defensive and counter and with every character too. Could wipe the floor with the arcade & computer on any difficulty and beat almost anybody who took me on in two-player.
Strange this is I wasn't really into one on one beat em ups back then (never liked SF) and I'm certainly not into them now. In fact I can't stand them, 3D ones in particular.

I'm good at Survival Horror type games, not a master in terms of preventing damage or speedrunning, but just being able to play them and not be frustrated. I'm also pretty good at Mario Kart 8, the SKATE series, JRPGs too. I feel like this is a list of games that are all relatively easy to get into.
I'm terrible at multiplayer FPS games, RTS, Souls games.

This question is hard to answer without sounding arrogant or full of it. But I promise that in some ways, I'm one of the most humble cats around, LOL. In any case:
General answer: I am pretty driven and motivated, and somewhat of a completionist/perfectionist, so whether it's some tough task in a single-player game, or getting better at a competitive game, I usually achieve it. So far there hasn't really been a VG related challenge that I haven't conquered. (Well, there is ONE, but I'm planning to try it out more in the near future.) Regardless, in any game or genre that I like, I'm competent and play well, but I'm still a hobbyist/amateur -- I don't compete professionally and don't engage in professional speedrunning/glitch-finding/etc.
Best competitive game (retained skills): Super Street Fighter II X/Turbo: Easy game to play but with an incredibly high skill ceiling. I've been playing this game on and off since the late 90s. I know pretty good techniques and know practically every character, with the exception of Blanka and Cammy who are not all that fun to play, and are garbage characters anyway.
Best competitive game - highest high reached: Guilty Gear XX/X2: At one point I was really, really good at this game. I could practically play at a competitive level and would probably have advanced fairly far if I ever bothered entering tournaments, which I never did. I did put a shit ton of hours into this game though, and luckily for me I had some buddies who were themselves amazingly good at the game. So we all pushed each other to get better. But I practically quit cold turkey on the game, and it has been many years since I played it, so I practically lost all of those skills.
Best single player game - it's a tie between (*avatar alert*) Resident Evil 2 (classic) and Super Mario Bros. 3: I can beat those games in practically any way. Speedrun. Self-imposed challenges.
Best genres: Platformers, Survival Horror. I tend to get pretty good at these games.
Worst genres: Shoot-'em-ups ("shmups") - Which sucks because I love the genre, but man, the one time I played Ikaruga, that game humbled me, and humbled me hard. So this is the year that I will get good at shmups!
