What kind of arcade game are you the best at?

[Raziya The Seeker]

Wait, it's possible to be good at arcade games? :o I'd say I'm best at fighting games, but mainly Mortal Kombats and Soul Caliburs. Even then I usually lose to many players, though I try to put up a good fight. I've yet to really get into Tekken, Street Fighter, and so on. I still have no idea how I haven't played a Bloody Roar yet.

Otherwise, I think I'm okay at Centipede and Dig-Dug? The Namco classics are legendary and a ton of fun, but I can't get much farther than a couple levels at most of them. I used to be dece at Galaga when I had Namco Museum on the N64, getting to around 10 levels in IIRC, but those skills atrophied hard over years of neglect.

Terminator Salvation, I spent day after day playing that at the arcade in town. Haven't thought about it in years but damn that was fun.

Probably Outrun 2 and Time Crisis. Definitely not at fighting games tho, my reactions sucks

I was pretty good at Galaga and Sinistar when I was a kid.
Still remember the days of random people having sets with the fighting game arcade machines in laundromats.

Fighting and rhythm games ig. They would be the ones I’m most confident in saying I've been paying them for ages atp. I would say Shumps too but that’s a wip...

 

[silent253]

I would say fighting games, light gun games, racing games, and shmups in that order. I suck at everything else and or I don't enjoy them as much.

I'm best at vertically scrolling shmups...Raiden, Donpachi and EspRaDe are my favourites.

I can 1cc Metal Slug 1, i used to 1cc Metal Slug 1-6 but Im really rusty. Does getting PERFECT on Hatsune Miku Project Diva count?

Gradius, Magical Drop, Puyo Puyo, Tetris.

I played every Gradius game, I nearly finished every Arcade Magical Drop Entry (not the first), played almost every arcade Puyo Puyo's medium difficulties, and Tetris.... I only played the console ganes.
