I'm curious what people think, I think some variant of SC is the hardest, but the Halo stream at MLG seemed pretty insane too at high levels.
e - Added Quake

The only thing that can compare to it in individual skill is Quake (and all its variants), but the top level players don't practice it as intensely as SC:BW players did, so the skill level at the top isn't as unobtainable.
Halo 3 isn't that hard (individually). No matter how good you are you can't kill someone with less than 4 BR shots, and the skill required to 4-shot someone isn't that high. Most of the skill lies in the team work and map control.
I voted other: Quake (Which really should be an option)
|
I have a feeling this is going to be INCREDIBLY one sided toward brood war (for good reason).
One that I don't think will get too many votes is super smash brothers. But to be honest, SSBM is probably harder than most of the other ones here (specifically the FPS ones). Then again, I'm biased.

What do you expect from a forum full of hardcore SC players?
|
Almost all of those are in completely different genres, so you really can't compare...
|
I would still vote for SC:BW, but you really should have included Quake in the options.
To even suggest that Halo is more difficult than Quake, let alone SCBW, is ridiculous.

Super Smash Brothers Melee!

really pointless posting such a poll on an involved forum. on a quake board the answer would be quake, on a war3 board the answer would be war3.
but i think the professionalism and the competition in sc:bw are the highest of all esport scenes.

I always felt like Quake games are insane. As Najda said you don't have players playing 16 hours a day, but there's so much going on its insane not to mention the stuff they have to keep track of as far as respawns and all that. Certainly different, bw is a given, but quake is right on par imo. Simply because we're talking hardest, quake I feel like some people are only going to be so fast, bw through lots of practice its more so achievable, but again a close call.

BW > WC3 > SC2
Not that surprised BW is top.
|
what on earth is halo doing on this list instead of quake or even at least unreal tournament

It seems like everyone in SSBM uses Ice Climbers.

I agree. To obtain a high level takes a tremondous amount of time and dedication in SSBM, and since it's less of a 'thinking' game(not saying that it doesn't take thinking, just not as much as bw), and the fact that it has no replays, makes practising it much more physically demanding as sometimes you just gotta sit there and get the handspeed down(pillaring for example).

honestly id say halo 3 is the most difficult on there... simply because my roommate is huge into it so i've tuned into some MLG halo3 events... the teamwork and speed/precision at which the game relies upon is very intense... i think its an underrated esport to us in the RTS community
granted it's a completely different game than the leading broodwar... but i dont think you can necessarily compare the two in one poll... consdiering theres differnet functions and everything involved between the two
|
BW undeniably. Anybody who votes different is uneducated on the matter.

Have you seem the MLG streams? They're pretty insane.

Who the hell thinks sc2 is harder than BW?

That's not entirely true. A lot of people who play other games respect the difficulty of SC even if they don't play it themselves, simply because it requires such a higher level of skill than most other games. Although that statement probably holds true in forums of games where the skill required to compete at a top level is close enough to dispute it.
