Hockey on original Sega. I played this a lot in early college days. I was so good that when I played with my friends, they made me be either the Ducks or Canucks, the two worst teams at the time. And I still could win once I learned how to play with those slow teams!

Lest not forgot PGA golf too. I was usually several strokes under par on that.

I used to RULE at ?Super Spike Volleyball? for NES. We spent a whole summer playing that when I was 15 or so??.we would sit at a friend?s house (his mom was the only one that worked) and play for money. $5, $10, or sometimes a $20 high-stakes match. I made a lot of money that summer!! Told my folks it was from cutting grass. Set myself up for a monster spike, and then??.KABOOM!!!!??as I sent you flying across the court.

Also, ruled on two years of the FIFA game (I think it was FIFA 97 and FIFA98) for the original Sega Genesis.

Not a computer game, but I never lost at egyptian rat screw (the slapping card game) when I was in high school. I was undefeted for almost 3 years, and we played a lot because my friends wanted to beat me. The great thing was that the game was pure luck.

Street Fighter 2 series. (turbo, 2' etc.)

I rocked using Ryu, Ken and Guile. I'm one of the rare few that can deploy non blockable 3 hit combos that sent you dizzy at any time.

Ryu, Ken: Jump strong Punch, strong Punch, Soryuken (4 hit combo, you have to execute the soyuken in the MIDDLE of strong Punch animation, then it becomes unblockable)
Guile: Jump, then hold back (as SOON as you're in air), Strong punch, Strong punch on ground, then forward Strong punch for Sonic boom (again, execute forward punch in the middle of strong punch ground)
Jump, then hold down, Strong punch, middle punch down, then up weak kick for somersault (instant dizzy & unblockage as long as the first hit is in)

Any of the games where you could determine the best strategy ahead of time that is guaranteed to win (or at least tie): tic-tac-toe, and Connect Four are good examples. In the computer world it was Quake.

Street Fighter 2: My Guile was unstoppable. I only pulled off the re-dizzying combo a handfull a times, but I was really quite good at playing.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo: Guile was weakened a bit inthis version, but my RYU game became very strong.

Virtual Fighter: Pai's reversal owned. I loved the look on people's faces when I reversed everything they threw.

Baseball Stars (Nintendo), NBA Jam (across the XBAND!!!!), and Samurai Showdown (arcade).

U guys remeber the XBAND? I think it was the first online system set up to play across a network. Anybody know different?

I was absolutely unbelievable at RTCW.

There were times when I single handidly won games, often clearing rooms of opponents, grabbing the objective, and taking it to the destination on my own.

I think one game at the beach on the Axis team I had 67 revives as a medic. The game was like 15 min long...

The only other thing I can think of is paintball. I am not unbeatable, but among my friends I would say I am among the top two players. I remember one game I was outnumbered 2 to 1. A quick kill and some perfect manuevering through barriers got me the flag. I then kept one barrier between my opponent and I at all times, got far enough away from him that only a freak shot would get me, and made a run for it. I am not always the best shooter (most likely because two of the guys I play with have Automags, and I have a 98C), but I am by far the most aware and the most strategic.

"Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss" and possibly the "Bubble Bobble" game or "Tetris Butou Gaiden".

I am the ruler of the Combat game that came with the Atari 2600...I will even take that big plane against the three smaller ones and still win...

Could also a make a quarter (back in the good old days) last about 3 hours on Galaga...IIRC, I could roll the machine (999,999) in about 90 minutes (on the original non-souped up version)...
