I think that the following games require the highest amount of mechanical and mental strength in their respective arenas. Team FPS: CS 1.6 FPS: Quake 3 Team Strategy: Defense of the Ancients Strategy: Starcraft: Broodwar Fighting: Not sure on fighting games. | ||

I remember winning 8 vs 40+ fights back in the days of Old Frontiers... I used to run with LARFO, a pretty popular guild back in the day | ||

I'm not going to talk about sports because they are (I think) harder because it is much more competitive ( and skill cap is somehow correlated to amount of competition). In terms of games you can play on a computer, my guess would be BW, but I think if we include stuff like poker and chess, I would say chess over everything. | ||

Lower than that when people don't have equal gear, it comes down to who has better gear and is not retarded. In the PvE side of things, there's a skill cap, once you hit it it doesn't really matter. Slight improvements in timings make little difference, the challenge mainly comes down to coordination. Far lower than RTS games, but higher than most people think. I'd say either Brood War or Warcraft 3. I'd say DotA (the original, you LoL fanboys out there) has the highest in any team game. | ||

Of the games I've played, it's either broodwar or a quake game. Definitely not cs... definitely not dota. Don't get me wrong those are very high skill games but I don't really consider them honest picks here. | ||

Soldier Front has a higher skill ceiling than CS1.6. Also, I think GunZ is one of the hardest game to learn mechanically... I don't know if its still the same? But like 5-6 years ago it was pretty fucking insane to play at the top level, a lot harder than quakelive or such fast paced shooters. | ||

Yeaaaah that game is so heartbreaking, you practice and practice and think that you are in good shape, then you always meet someone who just rapes you so bad and makes you look like it's your first time playing the game. You just want to crawl into a corner get into fetal position and cry. I know how you feel, i used to go to school with KDJ T-T scariest thing ive ever seen in a video game | ||

There are no true combos in melee because the opponent can control what direction they go in to an extent, so every combo is done by reaction, not by memorizing long strings of buttons like in more traditional fighting games. Also, there is no lifebar so people can survive up to 200% if their DI is good enough, even if they get comboed insanely. Edit: Ahaha, i played darkrain a few months ago with my falco when i thought i was playing well and i only took 2 stocks off of him on FD and 0 on every other stage, it was depressing. BW, definitely, of any game ever because it is the hardest game ever. | ||

Skill difference is measurable in all games when it's between players it's not a reason why it has a high skill cap. | ||

Broodwar is by far the most difficult RTS because there is always something that you can do = you need speed. This conclusion leads to the fact that time is a resource and you will have to prioritize your actions. | ||
