Things you've failed at doing in video games for years

WipEout 3 is so brutal. Tactics Ogre and Star Force have nothing that game. Cruelty, despair and everlasting pain at 1500 kilometers an hour.

Being good at fighting games. When it gets really intense I try to do Hadoukens and end up jumping all over the place. . I love fighting games to death, but I can't play one to save my life. Still better than a few years ago where I couldn't even do Hadoukens.

Also, beating games. Pokemon White, Chrono Trigger, and Ace Attorny: Miles Edgeworth are all staring at me angrily.

In Mario Party there is a mini game called Slot Car Derby. It's been 13 years and I still can't figure out how to succeed in that game. I understand the control mechanic, but I can't seem to find the sweet spot on how fast to go without spinning out.

Despite that, though, I always fail at losing at Mario Party.

Being good at fighting games.

THIS! I love this genre but i SUCK at it.

1. Play through and beat the three original Super Mario games without using a warp zone.
2. I as well have never gotten all of the emeralds in a Sonic game
3. Complete all the side quests in any RPG

I can get the emeralds in almost all Sonic games... but the last three in Sonic 2 always screw me over.

Sonic 1 is the only Sonic game I haven't gotten all Emeralds in. I'm just... so ridiculously bad at that Special Stage style. But your success, and this thread in general, are inspiring me to give it another go!

[GameMasterGuy]

Yeah, if you can get emerald 5 in S2 without multiplayer, then S1's bonus stages should be a walk in the park. The only downside is that you only have two chances per zone.

[Gooseberrysoda]

Sniping/aiming in FPSs. It's too hard for me.

[GameMasterGuy]

On that subject, getting the short burst timing down to prevent bloom.

Emeralds in earlier Sonic games? Add that to my list of failures.
