I have always been impressed by the great gamers. I have on occasion been able to count myself among them. For example the other team had better hope I never get to be a Boomer in L4D2 because I am great at getting 3 or 4 people covered in vomit. I was able to beat Super Mario World in less than 12 minutes. My legend of zelda skills were insane in pretty much every version of the game except i haven't played the one on the wii.
That is enough about me though. I am interested in what you all have accomplished. Old or new no matter the game who are the best of the best? If you are able to go full clear on heroic mode in WoW let us know your screen name. If you happen to a master with Fiddlesticks or any other champion I would like to hear about. If you happen to have link a youtube video or something like that showcasing your skills post it up and I'll watch it. I am sure I am not the only gamer who enjoys seeing the best of the best demonstrate their skills. Lets see what you have.

What if we were blown up by a bomb-omb after coming in 4th place on Mario Kart?
Other than that, I'm pro at downing the elevator boss... //hides. 0 -
My favorite game of all time is probably The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I played that game so much growing up, I knew it inside and out. I was as efficient as it was possible to get at doing everything on that game, from the puzzles to the small things like hit box availability on the bad guys (knew exactly how often to slash the sword to get the most amount of hits in the shortest amount of time). For example, when facing Gannondorf, after you shoot him with a light arrow, it's not best to mash the sword button. If you slash with just the right timing you can get five hits in, instead of four, before he gets back up, which means that you can kill him with 2 light arrows with the Biggoron sword instead of 3
I had a couple of save files where I did everything there was to do on that game -- all the hearts, all the golden skulltulas, etc.
The only thing I was never able to do on that game was get a perfect score on horseback archery. I got close, only missed 1 target several times, but never got it 100%.
Ummm...what else. I was very good at speed runs for Super Mario Brothers 1 and 3. I could beat most people at Tecmo Super Bowl.
That's about it, I think. Most of the games that I started playing after that were so long that it was hard to play them enough times to get really, truly good at them. And now that I'm "all grown up" and have a family and such, I don't have time to get as intimately acquainted with games anymore -- it's pretty much play them once through, beat them, and move on to the next one.0 -
tl;dr -- Zelda 64 and SMB 1 and 3, that's about it. Not enough time to get so good at games any more.0

I can beat contra and super contra without dying.0

Once upon a time, I whupped butt in Call of Duty 2 because I taught kids how to make games on the computer at a camp and we would play Call of Duty on our breaks. So that was an hour of Call of Duty 2 every day for a whole summer. I started out terrible, but by the end of the summer, I got very good.
But I haven't played a game that involved other people in years, except for Left 4 Dead 2.0 -
My uncanny ability to jump and squeal like a little girl whenever Jason pops out while playing Friday the 13th on the NES is unmatched.0

Beating Mass Effect 2 on Insanity mode was pretty rad. My Mario Kart skills are unmatched though.0

Wow. I'm just not that cool. I play the ME games on the easiest levels so I can romance Garrus faster. Rofl.0 -
Skyrim, managed to get a mudcrab to kill an Ancient Dragon.
Don't ask how.0 -
I went 36 and 0 on a decent Counter-Strike server after a bot headshot practice where I would try to headshot 10 bots as fast as possible. I also killed an entire team of 9 guys by myself after my team had died and they were swarming en masse. I think they were in the mode of "we can't possibly lose this round" so they were easy targets. This was back in 2001, 2002?
I have CSGO but I just don't have the aim I used to. Maybe it was the 20 hours a week minimum I put into the game back then.0 -
It's cheesy but it's my whoo hoo moment... I took down a MoP rare essentially alone after the DK tank I had with me died almost immediately and kept dying. Doesn't seem like much but for a Mage who doesn't dungeon or raid anymore, I was QUITE proud of myself. 0

I can beat contra and super contra without dying.
This is a short post but omg is it saying a lot. Any retro gamer out there can vouch for this. Contra is one of those games made by people who wanted to punish their fellow gamers. The screen will be flooded with bullets at times and if anything ever touches you even one you are dead. Contra is a harsh and unforgiving game and being able to make it through without dying is crazy.0 -

I know you say don't ask how but I have got to know. If you don't want to post your secret on an open forum please sent me a private message.0 -

I know people who play Mass Effect 2 on insanity but nobody does it with the intent of actually beating the game. I got good enough to play mario cart with my kids and I beat them constantly but other than that I don't play it much.0 -

I agree this feat is huuuuge! one night when I was really loaded I got all the way to the last level without dying I had like 30 lives or so saved up but then died every single one of them.... someone walked in and jinxed me ill never forget/totally remember that night0 -

Once you die that first time and your gun goes back to pea shooter mode you might not even be able to recover. Some of the enemies in the late game just take too much punishment to kill.
Legendary Wings has some of the same issue.0 -
I got the Bioshock Brass Balls achievement (beat the game on Hard with no deaths). I have never been so terrified of Big Daddies as I was during that run. My proudest gaming moment thus far.0

Haha, yes, this! I used to play Contra all the time and got really good at it, although never good enough to get through the game without dying. I turned on my old NES the other day and played. Boy, it certainly wasn't as much fun as it used to be when you die all the time.0 -
I could get ET out of the hole in the Atari 2600 version.0

Any game where you remember the 30 lives cheat code 20 years later is an epic game

That is also known as the Konami Code. It was originally created as a way to make it easier to test out changes they would make the powerups in a game known as Gladius. The code was not taken out before the game was release and somehow either gamers just figured it out or the more likely someone leaked the information about the code to the public and it spread like wild fire. Gamers absolutely loved the idea of a cheat code and the rest is gaming history. Game makers started including the codes intentionally and before you knew it cheat codes became part of our culture. It has somewhat died down now since for the most part the game make would prefer you pay for the new feature rather than enter a cheat code for it so now the things that would have been cheat codes today like new skins and such are all simply options that you pay for.0 -

Beat Mass Effect 2 on insanity- twice.
Started Mass Effect 3 on insanity, got to the last battle with Kai Leng and then stopped playing for some reason I can't recall. Gotta go back and finish.0 -
I have a butt-flag pony in WoW. Does that count?0

Not super impressive, but about six or so years ago I could get five stars on Through the Fire and Flames on expert in GH3. Wasted hundreds of hours on that game. I tend to play most games on the easiest difficulty, where most of the enemies are about as fierce as bunnies and you are practically invincible.0

Actually I know that song and that game and that is pretty damn impressive. I do have to say that as a rule I am against the use of easy mode for anything other than tutorials and testing stuff out. If I actually dig in and play the lowest I will go is normal. I am not one of those people thanks the highest difficulty is all that counts however. In some games it completely changes the entire nature of the game. For example in L4D2 if you set it on the highest difficulty the common zombies will hit you for 1/5th of you health making them the most dangerous thing in the game due to their sheer numbers. You basically need other plays on your side because at that difficulty the game is impossible with bots.0

My feats are not often measurable accomplishments. What I'm most proud of is going from a textbook button masher, 'ask my brother to do the hard parts' kind of gamer when we were kids to a 'I'll figure it out myself no matter how long it takes, thanks' kind of gamer.
But even as adults, the only game I can whoop my brother's *kitten* in is Mario Kart. Still pisses him off, too.0 -

That's a pretty great accomplishment too
As a side, I love your avatar.0 -
Imma sit here and bask in the presence of awesomeness. o_o The best thing I can even pretend to think of is managing to play Rampage on my NES for 5 or 6 hours before I finally lost all my lives. I have some MMO prowess but it's probably not of note.0
