1. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror - I absolutely LOVE this game. It basically takes every other side-stroller level-by-level game and kicks them in the ass. It's very unique in the way how you can go to any area you wish in any order (pretty much) and I've been playing it for a while now, but I love it.
2. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - I've been at this since the VERY FIRST MOMENT this came out. So far over 40 Lv. 100's! Rock on!
3. Any other Kirby game - What can I say? Kirby's awesome! The best game that is in this category is probably Squeak Squad. (>'-')> <('-'<)!
See Youtube page (GIRfanaticTAS) for all runs and stuff.
I used to rape MK: Deception with Kiara (the chick with the two hand daggers, new to that installment)... I closed my eyes and played through matches in my head *blush*

I guess I'm pretty good at Deus Ex. It's supposed to be a tactical game, but I'm pretty comfortable running around blowing everyone's heads off with whatever's handy.

SMASH, all versions. Brawl in particular at this point.
Warcraft 3 and C&C 3 as well. I play a lot of TF2 these days, but I'm not as good at that as I ever was at your standard RTS.
Also, SC I guess. Used to live in the top 100 on ladder, but I was in middle school then =P
1. Super Double Dragons
When I was a kid, none of my friends or I could even get through half the game. Now, my playing level is so high, that I can beat the game while losing only one life. (Out of fifteen total)
2. Donkey Kong Country
I can speed run through the game in under an hour, and when I was eight, finished second in my region among hundreds of participants in the Blockbuster Video Game Championships for DKC.
3. Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo
I can beat the game on Hard with Chun-Li (worst default selectable character) without even coming close to a loss. Against human players, my speed and planning give me a better than 90% win percentage. There's only two people I've ever played (including Kaillera) who could score better than 50% against me. (And not by much)
4. Killer Instinct
I probably spent more time on this than any other fighter, and it really paid off; at my best, I could beat the game on the highest difficulty without using up a continue, and punish my friends with non-stop Ultra combos and combo breakers.
5. Heroes of Might and Magic 3
I think my execution, planning, and strategy in this game is nearly flawless, not a single human I've played could manage better than 25% wins against me in random scenarios, and queen difficulty is too easy on ANY scenario or campaign mission. (And so is King difficulty on a lot of them)
Then again, the game isn't that complex.
6. Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
A game I still play occasionally, and attempt to improve at. The AI here is no joke, however, unlike most Street Fighter titles.
7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters
For some reason, this was the most popular fighter among my friends while growing up. Another game I can beat on the highest difficulty without using up a continue.
8. TMNT 4: Turtles in Time
Great beat em'up. I came real close to beating it without using a continue, but couldn't quite manage. Super Shredder is just too much of a badass.
9. King's Bounty
When I was a little kid, I played this game to learn English better. On Impossible mode (given 200 days to win), I can defeat every villain and find the scepter in under 30 days with good luck, and a little over 100 days with HORRIBLE luck.
10. Castlevania
I can beat the game with a loss of one life. Not great, but it's probably the only truly difficult game on my list.
EditFODA, how good are you at King of Dragons? I love that game, and consider it a great, forgotten, arcade classic. I can beat it in only two continues with the Wizard, but I have no clue whether that's good or not, especially considering how powerful he becomes on later levels.
6. Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
A game I still play occasionally, and attempt to improve at. The AI here is no joke, however, unlike most Street Fighter titles.
The anniversary edition AI is even more formidable, to a downright laughable degree. My very first match against the computer was against Zangief, who jumped straight into round one with a Banish Fist tick into Spinning Pile Driver. I actually dropped the controller to laugh at the absurdity, as I was sure that was an impossible attack string up until then. If not for Sagat being horribly neutered, I don't think I would have had a chance at ever beating it. Even at that, I used the stupidly overpowered Turbo characters as a crutch to do so.
1. Halo: Combat Evolved (XBox)
2. Jet Set Radio Future (XBox)
3. Commander Keen 5 (PC-DOS)
4. Splinter Cell (XBox)
5. Halo 2 (XBox)
6. Space Quest 2 (PC-DOS)
(too many other random games to name)
No, I am not skillful in games for TAS-capable systems. If you want something though, Strike Gunner S.T.G. (SNES) followed by Super Mario Kart is the best guess.
Hmm, let's see…
I guess the only game I can consider myself a pro at is Crimsonland. My survival mode scores are really high nowadays, and I plan on improving them.
Games I'm overall decent at (but not yet a pro) are:
• Quake 3;
• Touhou games (working on them currently);
• Super Metroid;
• Golden Axe 3.
Games I was decent at previously (but likely not anymore):
• ElastoMania;
• Unreal Tournament (1999);
• SNES Starfox (100% on all courses except one stage);
• DKC 1 & 2;
• Super Castlevania 4;
• Axelay;
• Battletoads in Battlemaniacs;
• Worms 2/3.
One other game I want to get better at is DoDonPachi.

Zangief is always a rough AI match-up for me since Dictator (Bison) is my go-to character. Of course, he's a piece of cake against Claw, any character with a projectile, etc.
Then again, I'm always reminded of these two videos;

I haven't played a lot of Anniversary Edition, but I would assume that Championship Edition Bison is the most absurdly overpowered character there, with CE Guile being another powerhouse.
If I had to construct tiers, those two along with Old Sagat, ST Sim, and ST Boxer would be the five top characters.
I have to say Super Punch Out!, hands down. After I figured out a way to get Narcis Prince beaten in 17"03 back in third or fourth grade, I became addicted to figuring out how to do quick KOs against everyone else.
I have a few times as of now are very, very close to the TAS ones.

In general, I think that I'm best at platformers. However, the only specific game I would consider myself to be exceptionally good at is Contra: Hard Corps, which I've completed a few times only using a single credit. Then again, it's one of the easier Contra games. It's practically all pattern memorization. :P

You are most certainly correct. I've never been much for charge characters, though, so you'll usually find me sticking to ST Ken and Turbo Ryu. I'm also known to use Cammy once in a while, knowing full well that she's bottom tier; I don't mind taking punishment as long as I have a character that suits my play style.
As a side note, I like your naming conventions for the bosses. That certainly helps alleviate confusion for international players!

I'm particularly good at any FPSes that have an added element of tactics or strategy. I'm also pretty good at Assassin's Creed.
I would give some sort of top 10, but I can't really think of any particular games specifically.
<adelikat> I am annoyed at my irc statements ending up in forums & sigs
01 GripShift - http://www.youtube.com/user/owrbzero
02 Final Fantasy VII - I have the current unassisted speedrun world record for the English-language PSX version (8:25:59), and I've done an LLIOIENA challenge as well as a few other challenges.
03 Super Mario Bros. - Who here hasn't mastered this game? Heh.
04 Willow - Only full game I've written a walkthrough for. I'd say I know my way around this game better than most people.
05 Worms 2 - Well, I can pull off some pretty spectacular rope-tricks, and with some luck I can take out a three-worm team in one round.
In no particular order (since it's hard to compare the skill between different games):
- Super Street Fighter 2 (SNES) - Except of very few crazy SSF2-masters on the internet, I have never faced a superior opponent in this game, till now
- Nintendo World Cup (NES) - No superior opponents ever played, even on the internet
- Super Metroid (SNES)
- Super Mario Kart (SNES)
- Secret of Evermore (SNES)
- Terranigma (SNES)
- Chrono Trigger (SNES)
- Seiken Densetsu 3 (SNES)
- Sim City (SNES)
- Super Mario Bros 3 (NES)
Hey! I am #1 in SNES Aladdin :(joke): Actually, I suck at the game.
Top 3
#1. NES: SuperMarioBrother
#2. SNES: SuperMetroid
#3. NES: Tertris (190 800/lvl 14)
BTW nice topic :)
The only game that immediately comes to mind is Nintendo World Cup (NES), but I'm not sure if I've ever played against a person before. I also played Jetpack Christmas Edition (PC) very much when I was young (it came with the 486), so I have established, but not necessarily optimal, routes/strategies for completing all of the levels.
