Good question, but I think every answer will be as true as false in some way  (and agreed with HardMacro :p) | ||

baseball (pitcher batter dual, not the fielders) pitcher has so many pitches. and the release looks all the same. except one takes 0.4 secondes to get to you and the other 1 secondes. crazzy BW- to be good you have to be a super human. and you cant suffer from epilepsi | ||

Though, this came to my mind for some reason... I've always been less impressed with team sports. When it comes to (essentially) non-physical games, I'd have to say bw of course. | ||

But theres no "measurable" skill that you can use to define it. Some other guys serve harder, move faster etc.. If winning a lot is the only way you can define who the better player is, then of course a "better player" will win more often over a "lesser player" because thats how you defined he was better in the first place. Well I think in a game where the outcome is 100% determined by how good you are then you best player on the planet would win every single tournament and the second best would come second every time. I think the closest you get to that than the more "skilled-based" the game can be called. Maybe I should have used the term "lowest randomness involved" rather than "skilled based" | ||

You mentioned tennis in the OP, but how do you actually determine and quantify who has the most skill and who is the better player? Andre Agassi was widely regarded as one of the best returners ever, but his serve is not nearly as good as Pete Sampras serves were. Since there is no quantifying system, there is no measure of who the more skillful player is. The only true measure of success in a game is victory, which means that it is both impossible and pointless to try to determine the game that is the most "skill based". yea read my last reply | ||

Maybe I should have used the term "lowest randomness involved" rather than "skilled based" I think the game you describe would probably be the most boring game in the world to watch. You would always know the outcome before the start. That's not even taking into account the fact that it's impossible to truly accurately gauge skill and thus impossible to have perfect rankings. | ||

I dont see why not. I mean its almost impossible to tell which of them has the largest sample. If you use time then yes a slam is usually longer. | ||

2.) BW - High enough skill ceiling that superior player usually win even if cheese is involved 3.) Quake 3/Live - Sort of luck based when it comes to spawns even if you can force them but you usually see the same player at the top | ||
