Two people on here have said mario kart on the snes, yet in my circles they would be average (not even good or close to expert). But it is the game they consider themselves most expert.
Also reg - I didn't know you run SMW. Whats your PB?
I tend to play a smaller number of games to more depth. I'd say at some point i've been "expert" (by which I mean in the top 5% of player base) at Timesplitters 2, Tetris (arguable as it depends on version and mechanic), Advance Wars DS, International Superstar Soccer 2000.

You'd also start putting artificial rules in just to change it up. In co-op your mate picking your character or vice versa. Playing as a shrunken character. Not being allowed to use an items. Then they got more stupid, not being allowed to turn right. If you wanted to turn right you'd do a 360 left turn. Sounds stupid but was hilarious. That game was something else. I still remember when we broke the minute barrier on Mario Circuit 1 on 100cc. It was like Mansell and Senna at Monaco when Mansell had to come in for a tyre change due to a puncture. He was all over Senna but couldn't get past. Same with my mate, one of those races where I was attached to his rear bumper. We were so engaged that we didn't notice the time we got. When we did, we just sat there I'm disbelief. So many memories, good times.mk64 wrote:It depends on what and how you define expert.

I'm not sure it's subjective. They're expert, you'd play them on battlemode and you would lose 10-0. You'd play against them on match race or GP and you'd simply never ever win. I'm not sure you can call yourself an expert at a game when there's another "level" clearly demonstrable above you.
