Myself and a friend are interested in duking it out playing a variety of multiplayer games and see who's the better overall gamer.
We need suggestions on what games we should have our skills tested on.
They have to be competitive 1v1 games.
Starcraft is the obvious one but are there any other definite games?
EDIT: I thought I'd add that the platforms we have available are PC, PS3, Wii and XBOX360, that's it unfortunately

Mirrors edge speedracing! :D

Age of Empires 2 for sure, and pong???
Pokemon
-All generation 4 games allowed. -No hacking. -No need to train, use auto lvl 100 (still EV train though...) -Pokewalker and generation 3 help allowed. -Each get the game for 1 month. -Then play a best of 5 with: 1x Uber battle 2x OU 1x UU 1x NU
Depends on how lucky you get with breeding IVs a little bit, but the better gamer should win. O yeah, Jirachi available on wifi right now.

UT 99' Age Of Empires II CS 1.6 (some aim map) Quake CPMA / Quake Live Achtung die Kurve
|
|
Unreal Tournament original Mutant League Hockey (SEGA) SF2 Golden Eye 64 Road Rash Reversi (MSN) Mario Tennis
GO
|
fuck it play minesweeper too
|
all you REALLY need is brood war though
|
You need representation across genres, so here are some options:
2D Fighting -- Super Street Fighter 4, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core 3D Fighting -- Tekken 6, Virtua Fighter 5 Versus 2D shooter -- Twinkle Star Sprites, Senko no Ronde (not sure if you should separate versus Gundam and Virtual On from these...) Versus puzzle -- Magical Drop 3, Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo Racing -- Super Mario Kart "sports" game -- Windjammers, Super Tennis
I'm not going to comment on a 1v1 FPS, but I'm sure someone else has better ideas.
|
have a Dwarf Fortress endurance run - first one to lose... uh, loses.
|
need games from like every genre. That way you will get a better idea on whose better all around. Fighting game : tekken, streetfighter, mortal kombat, smash bros etc Racing game: Gran tourismo, Burnout, mario kart, etc Puzzle game: tetris, super puzzle fighters, puyo pop etc FPS game: Quake, CoD, cough halo cough, etc if you guys got time i would suggest a speed run who can beat mario, sonic, kirby the fastest type thing.

Just check your list
RTS FPS fighter tennis racing
are the big genres for me. I would recommend
SC CS SmashBros Virtual tennis Motor storm (unbalanced though, plenty of other games if you want a fair test)

You say tennis but what about a football game too?
|
you should absolutely do different input types too, like games with wiimote and old games that have to be played with a joystick. its an entirely different skill to be good with shitty controls.
|
You've got at ps3, so you might like to go for soul calibur 4 Or ninja gaiden (available on xbox 360 and ps3), while its not a 1v1 game, you can compete by trying to makes the best scores during the missions
Also quake 3 / unreal tournament are great for 1v1
|
Tetris endurance, definitely!
Definitely a racing game, I find Super Mario Kart is a little bit too luck based, unless you do the solo mode and compare times. I think Gran Tourismo would be good.
Quake for sure.

Diablo 2 Hardcore(RPG)[PC] - Play until you can duel, then duel to the death Master of Orion 3 (RTS)[PC] Crash team racing(racing)[PS1] DDR(rhythm )[any]

Brood War Sport - Fifa, madden, nba live, etc. minesweeper- best time. or PC pinball ?Empire Earth? Counter Strike

Watch out if you're talking about my bro man, he might have lost his touch, but I have a feeling he might still have an edge on you in twitch-based shooters!
He's also devilish cunning in Tekken.
Edit: I forgot to add! Earth 2150 would be an interesting strategy change of pace
|
racing: trackmania nations sports: fifa fps: quake rts(non sc): sin of solar empire fighter: any sf
other good ideas are ddr, tetris too
|
|
Tetris Attack!
Or it's clone that doesn't require an SNES emulator, Crack Attack. Though I wonder whether a game between 2 unexperienced players will be as epic as one between 2 pros.
EDIT: Tetris Attack is NOT like Tetris. Though it looks a bit similar at first.

Wait, just play Defcon. He can use my copy. Wasn't the tagline something like,
"Everybody loses, you just have to lose less"?

As others have said already: In terms of shooters you have to play UT Classic and Quake Live. Those are the best for 1v1. CS is obviously a good game, but not suited for 1v1.

For heads-up, these are all you really need:
SCBW Street Fighter III: 3rd strike Quake (live/3) Tetris(friends.com?)
The best of the respective three major competitive genres (RTS, Fighters and FPS), with some retro thrown in for good measure.
|
mario kart, smash melee, tetris.
|
First one to complete Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
|
Gran Turismo Street Fighter Smash Bros Sport games (EA series of course) Some classic shooter, CS, Unreal Tournament, Quake Warcraft III Tetris Mario Bros 1

I know its not a video game, but a good multiplayer, 1v1 game would be chess!!
|

He'd destroy me at chess I feel

I think the best way to determine who is the better gamer is to play against him in the three biggest eSports out there: Halo, Madden, and World of Warcraft.
|
Deadly rooms of death. Person that gets farthest at the end of the day is the winner.
|
If you watch WCG Ultimate Gamer that 88)IncontroL was in, you can get a list of some games there too! I can't recall if there were any team games so it should be what ur lookin for in terms of 1v1ing specfically.
|
Halo 1: Combat Evolved
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast .... saber his ass
Any good racing game, such as NFS Underground...
|
Super Smash Bros. 64 Mario Kart 64 Golden Eye 007 / Perfect Dark ...yeah... I was a Nintendo 64 kid...

On-topic, Guitar Hero or Stepmania/ITG or another music game of your choice

Smash Melee, Brood War, Counterstrike 1.6, some form of competitive Tetris, and a 800+ apm rhythm game should make a fun and challenging line-up.
Problem about competitions like this is that if you've both gamed with each other for a long time, you'll have a good idea of what games you guys play and how skilled you both are at them. So making a fair and entertaining line-up will be difficult, because for any particular game you may have a good idea of who is going to win before-hand.
Then again you can always choose games that both of you are complete neophytes at, but some people prefer competing in practiced skills.
