The Coolest thing you've ever done in a video game

[Guest The ChriZa]

DDR: A dumb 15 year old wouldn't stop trying to trip me and pull my pants down, so I turned around and kicked him in the groin while still maintaining a combo.

That is one of the single greatest mental images in history.

 

Er..not the pulling your pants down bit, the kicking thing.

[Guest JaKyL25]

One touchdown later, William turns the PS2 off (we were either leaving or he was frustrated, I forget).

 

Yeah, on the "Least cool videogame things...", my friend'r brother was a complete DICK for doing that. We;d be whupping his ass at NBA Jam, WCW/nWo Revenge, Mario Kart, anything really. Just before the moment of his defeat, he'd shout "MEGAWEAPON" and hit the reset button. It got to the point where we had to buy extension leads for the controllers and prop consoles up on top of a shelf where he couldn't reach them in the heat of battle. Then he just took to yanking his pad and pulling the whole console off the shelf, smacking the ground and handily resetting/breaking.

 

We went through a couple of consoles that way, although I should point out that Nintendo machines seem to have the most resiliant build quality.

May I ask why the fuck you kept playing with this earlicking turdburger?

I second that.

 

The man who breaks my Nintendo is the man whose house I burn down. My "MEGAWEAPON" is a gas tank and a Zippo.

[Guest JaKyL25]

Dude, don't tell me Mick Foley busted up your NES or something.

[Guest MaxPower27]

My 7OT game in NHL 2002. I lost, but I didn't even care at that point. It almost ended in 5OT, but I hit the crossbar.

 

I was Atlanta, playing against Philadelphia in the playoffs. Final score: Philadelphia 3, Atlanta 2.

 

 

 

 

I don't own GTA-VC, but when I play at my friend's house, I like making Ghost Rider with the flamethrower and a motorcycle.

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

Once, way back in the day, playing NBA Jam with a buddy of mine, I managed to pass the ball...to myself.

 

I don't recall exactly HOW I did that, but I know I did.

 

Oh, and one time, I CALLED 2 30-second criticals in Fire Pro D. We were doing 5 on 5 matches, and some shooter I was using got the win by submission on a legbar. The next match came up, and I'm like "I'm not worried. I'm gonna break your leg in 30 seconds."

 

Match starts. Lock-up, take-down, into the guard, legbar, CRITICAL, and he's not happy. It only took 30 seconds of game time too, which goes by a bit quicker.

 

Next match: Lock-up, take-down, guard, "Here it comes again!" legbar, CRITICAL and he's throwing his controller across the room.

 

One of the proudest moments of my life...sadly.

[Guest The ChriZa]

Dude, don't tell me Mick Foley busted up your NES or something.

Well shit, dude, I told him, "Mick, stop whining. Contra's a hard game, its not my fault you don't know how to duck. What, I'm supposed to take the bullet FOR you? Bite me."

He then proceeded to have a hardcore match with my NES, ripping it from the wall and applying the Socko Claw to the cartridge port.

Yeah, this blows. I had a friend that did kind of the same thing. He'd play you until he beat you, then he'd refuse to play again and would brag to everyone how good he was. So my friends and I got him good. We convinced him to play No Mercy, me vs. him with my friend Joe as the special referee. Now before my friend got there I was showing Joe how to count the pins and stuff. So it was weird when my asshole friend pinned me, but only drew a long one and a "How do you work this again" from my friend the ref. A few minutes later, I do a transition move and pin my asshole friend...and I win on an extremely fast three count. Funny shit. We would repeat this whenever we got the chance, just funny to say "Trust me, we'll count fairly" and then quick count his ass.

[Guest phoenixrising]

As for my greatest video game moments...

 

The time playing Goldeneye with a friend from HS who I went to college with. We were on opposite ends of a hallway on a License to Kill (one shot one kill) game. I nailed him with a QUICK shot - I literally only peeked out for less than a second to pop him.

 

The 107 yard kick return on NCAA 2003. I was playing WSU in the second year of my dynasty with UCLA. Before the half WSU gets a 90 yard kickoff return that made my special teams look like crap. Furious, I decided that I was running the next kickoff back no matter what. One of my returners was a cornerback with 99 speed. I took the ball seven yards deep in the end zone and just blew by everyone on my way to the longest kick return TD in my history of football games.

[Guest crandamaniac]

Zero Tolerance for the Sega Genesis. I had about 15 enemies to kill before I could go to the next level. They was all in this one room. So I run in and just start running around it, letting everybody chase me. They start throwing grenades at me, but can never hit me cuz I'm still running. When I finally stopped running, I had maybe 3 guys left to kill.

 

GTA:VC--I was running from the cops. I come up on a group of 5 Cuban Gangsters. The cop tries to punch me, misses and hits one of the Cubans. All 5 turn around and fill him full of lead. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

 

And one last one. NUTSHOTS IN MEDAL OF HONOR!

That would freakin' own to see.

 

Hmm... any mist/stealth kill in Blood Omen 2 is cool. Listening to the villagers conversations is also cool..... no, fuck that, doing a stealth kill on them WHILE listening to their conversations is cooler. I'm just devious that way

[Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0]

In Super Smash Bros (both of the games), I've brought a character up to 999% damage with Link's short endless sword stabbings, somehow without the other person fumbling away too much, and then when you do a smash maneuver on someone whose damage level is that high, they're dead the split second you hit the move and the ricochet sound comes one second after they're dead.

 

Oh. And I've done the -1 level trick in the first mario bros a few times =P

[yankovic fan 0]

I forget how I did it, I probably had the dodo cheat enabled or something, but in Vice City, I flew off a bridge, and dove out of the car in mid air and landed in a police boat, and capped him.

 

About 20 minutes ago I was playing Ncaa 2003. I was on defense.

 

The QB made a pass to his left WR and he over shot him and the ball was heading for out of bounds. Well my FS stuck his arms out and volleyed the ball backwards over his head into the arms of my SS. It looked so cool that I popped a VHS tape in and recorded the instant replay.

They were well-off kids - it was their own shit that was getting busted, not mine. Man, if they'd have SCRATCHED my Super Famicom...

 

I kinda made up for it the time his cousin came over from Ireland, and he was telling him that he was the master of Tekken. We used to play winner stays on, and I spent THE WHOLE EVENING handing him and his cousin their asses. Then he challenged me, since we played in a darkass room with just the TV for light: "Well, if you're that fucking good, beat us with fucking shades on."

 

Guess what I did. For about half an hour. His cousin was a few year's older than him and was his "smooth older relative to act mature and cool in front of", so there was no MEGAWEAPON nonsense. His cousin was a real button-mashing bastard too - he'd just smear his palm across the pad using Kuma all the time and pulling off flukey-ass moves, so it was even more satisfying to beat that fucker.

[Guest TheBigCalbowski]

I was just playing No Mercy's survival mode to unlock Ken Shamrock. My CAW of myself was almost done with a severly damaged neck. I got 50 eliminations and finally Shamrock came running out. In the ring also was HHH and Steven Richards. So many times I kept getting my ass beat and was pinned, but only for a two count. I could barely get to Shamrock cause I was being double teamed by HHH and Richards. This actually went on for a few minutes with me attempting to pin Shamrock as well as getting my ass kicked. Finally HHH and Richards did a double team move on Shamrock and I moved in for the cover to elminate him. Then I get elminated over the top and it was over. I was just happy that I unlocked Shamrock rather than buying him.

[Guest Prototype450]

I beat Triple H with a La Magristral cradle after giving him the peddigre through a table in Smackdown. This was after i gave him the release german suplex.

 

 

 

EDIT: Did I mention it was off the HITC?

[Guest Sakura]

Anyone claiming to be "the master" of Tekken or any fighting game is almost surely god awful.

Unless it is me using Pai on Virtu Fighter. After spending countless hours with her in training modes and learning her timing and basically every move and combo that I could find she is possible of doing, you will be lucky if you get off a hit.

[Guest DVD Spree]

(Sorry for being a dick, i got the wrong end of that.)

Thats not specific to fighting games.

[Guest KoR Fungus]

Thats not specific to fighting games.

 

But it seems to happen more in fighting games than anywhere else. Every random scrub who's the best of their little group of friends thinks they're "the master". Hell, some people even think they're "the master" for getting fast times against the computer.

 

Most memorable moment for me recently: SC2 money matches against Bibulus, one of the best players from New Jersey. He came down to our tourney, won it, but then played me in some $10 money matches afterwards. First one I won 5-2. He wanted a rematch obviously. The second one was much closer. It was tied 4-4, and went down to the last round of the last set. I won when I caught him with Mist -> A,B as a counter as he was trying to hit me with poseidon tide. If the PT had hit, I would have lost the match and $10. Pretty intense, heh.

[Guest DVD Spree]

This is going back to when I was about 12 I guess. There was a kid who we used to play Mario Kart with, and fair play to him, he managed to win a few battles against us.

 

The little fucker went to Toys R Us and bought a replica WWF belt and started bringing it with him whenever he came to play, declaring himself "THe World Mario Kart Champion". His reign didn't last long as I beat him on our first rematch, but would he give up the belt, WOULD HE? He ran home with it before we could take it off him.

That bastard. You should have grabbed it and beltshotted him in the face.

It's not like the thought didn't occur, it's just that the little shit ran off with it before the "rightful champion" could take it. It's amazing - he came back without the belt after that, but obviously he was still taking the whole thing seriously, because the next time he won a battle was when we were all going to the cinema, and my mate had to quit the game so we could make a move. As soon as he did, the disgraced champion got all crazy. "AHA! You SUBMITTED! Titles change hands on a submission, so I'm the World Champion again!"

 

Fool.

[Guest Stunt Granny]

Playing WWF Attitude for N64 I was stuck in a 3 on 1 handicap match. As soon as the bell rang I bolted from the ring headed up the ramp they all followed. I I backdroped one, clothesline one, and backdropped the other. Took off bck for the ring and won via count-out.

[Guest Breetai]

DOA3 against a friend - won all 5 rounds using nothing but counter moves.

[Guest Sakura]

You could spend years in training mode, what matters is competition against much better players.

 

I have been playing Tekken seriously since the beginning(well, Tekken 1 didn't exactly have a high level of play but still...) and I know basically everything there is to know but until I start traveling to fight better competition I will continue to be at the bottom rung when it comes to the high level.

True. GoldenEye seems to be a big one. EVERYONE claims to be great at GE.

 

 

But it seems to happen more in fighting games than anywhere else. Every random scrub who's the best of their little group of friends thinks they're "the master". Hell, some people even think they're "the master" for getting fast times against the computer.

 

 

Yeah, exactly. It's really obnoxious.

[Guest bravesfan]

Is there a way to determine a SUPERB gamer in multiplayer Goldeneye?*

 

 

 

 

*without the aid of organized tournaments.

[Guest Sakura]

No, that's basically the point. People beat their friends in fighting games and think they're the master. Like somehow their friends must be the end all be all of the game and beating them is a huge acomplishment.

[Guest DVD Spree]

Hmph. Well, YOU'VE obviously never beaten the World Mario Kart Champion. I'd have the belt to prove it too, but, y'know...
