Proof: #1 Ladder Stracraft/Broodwar World, #1 world in every race.
More Proof of #1
My channel on Youtube I retired because I got strikes for discussing science. Yes, I am a research scientist and I have made many discoveries, and absurdities I can prove, but you'd never dream of: Download a Neo-Renassaince Resume to see how shocking industry discrimination vs Christians is. Anyone with achievements 1/20th of this gets an interview. I don't get interviews.
#1 Starcraft 1998 #1 Terran, #1 Protoss and #1 Zerg.
I was not just #1 by a small margin either. I was like Wayne Gretzky and #2 in the world was a kid in highschool the skill differential was so high. I even identified the #2 guy on Earth before he competed in Korea and he had nothin on me. His handle was Xds'Grr. I told him directly,"Dude, you're the #2 player in the world. You know some basic macro/micro. " He told me,"NO ONE BEATS ME! YOU MUST CHEAT!" I told him,"That's what #2 in the world always says when he meets the #1 guy in the world, no one ever beats me. LOL." The fact was the macro/micro I used was at an extremely refined professional level. Another example about how I wasn't just #1 in the world, but a ridiculous skill cap was between the other top 5 was: I played a top 5 player in the world: Kain-The-Feared and after the match he said,"Every single engage, you had a slight edge. That just built and built until all I felt was hopelessness and no will to fight. Jim, I never ever ever want to play against you ever again." The top 5 players in the world and Korean champions told me directly that I'm in a whole 'nother league above them.#1 Broodwar 1999 #1 Terran, #1 Protoss and #1 Zerg.
I prefer Starcraft to Broodwar. I prefer fast to fastest. I prefer small rush maps which encourage fighting to large maps which encourage sim city.#1 Diablo 2 worldwide harcore experience, yes all servers. I did this with three different characters back to back several months in.
#1 1v1,2v2,3v3,4v4 Warcraft3 (Random, yes I was #1 world at all races in another Blizzard skill game). In 3v3 we went 200-0
CrazyAssasin and Kain the Feared are cool guys. Funny story here. I approached Kain about joining the team, and he thought I was challenging him to a 1v1. He said,"Jim, did you not forget that 4 years ago, I told you I never ever ever wanted to play against you? You're literally too good and inhuman for me to play against." Then I told him to be on my team, and the rest is history. :)#1 in the world skilled in in C&C3. I stopped at top 50 ladder rocketting up because unsurprisingly the game was EA trash and badly designed.
I normally never buy EA games, but gave C&C3 a chance, that was a mistake. I was rocketting to it with like a 67% win rate... but it was a badly designed game, everyone made medium tanks and strip mined Tiberium. The game sucked so I didn't want to give it the honor of me being #1 world at it. No nuanced using many different units or conserving and farming Tiberium. Just strip and medium slam... Very badly designed game, typical of Electronic Arts. Great graphics, hype, etc, game play trash tier. I could have gotten #1, but you see how bad games are in the top meta and I didn't like it anymore. Do not buy Electronic Arts games. They fell from being awesome in the 80s once they got money in the 90s from sports games. Then power attracts the corrupt so corrupt people head up EA, and their crappy games shows.#1 in the world skilled at SC2 2v2 with CrazyDre only a few years ago. We only went to 50 SC2 world on ladder because he had to help his family.
We barely even tried and got there in a month or so. My ally got sick of everyone surrendering so fast and thought the meta was unfun so quit to get a Tesla job for his kid. Our win rate even top 50 world was over 65% and we didn't even practice much.1v1 SC2 is terrible without any rush, but don't tell the fan boys. They like to fantasize themselves as actual Starcraft players, when they're really playing Clash of SimcityCraft. Tons of unassailable free bases, tons of units and tons of techs for free. But 2v2 still has the rush and it ain't half bad. If you want to play SC2 for serious, steer clear of 1v1 and go 2v2. Well 2v2 had stale meta back when I played at the high level. My partner got bored of everyone surrendering after their cheese rush failed so he went back working at Tesla and I don't blame him. Starcraft 2 pretty much sucked, it had terrible terrible design. Great graphics, probably a good campaign I didn't care to play, but the RTS design was by a Blizzard already trending down hill to the low it is now. And for an example of some of the worst UI in the world, check out the Starcraft Map Editor. The only thing that comes close for bad interface is using Google Ads.
I was told I had the #1 score in 1989 Nintendo World Championships that didn't use Turtle Tip at Pittsburgh.
There's no way to find these scores though that I lament. I also lament that Nintendo didn't keep making World Championships every year. I still remember playing the new NES contra, River City Ransom and Gargoyle for Gameboy. That was a blessed day. Thank you God. Heck I even balanced Warcraft3 TFT a little bit by telling em to reduce gold for creeps so attacking enemy bases had enough weight. I didn't stay long to balance it all, I wanted to start working on my white whale of a MMORPG solo like Tekken meets Asheron's Call, like a Dragon Ball Z world MMO action style.I loved Dune 2 so much that I emailed Westwood to add regenerating spice and multiplayer and they'd have a hit. They debranded and made Command and Conquer 1.
Beat Zelda without taking sword until Gannon Level
Beat Doom I & II on nightmare, and not many fps.
Gained 30 lives on Contra by not using the code.
Beat Contra on one life.
Beat Ninja Gaiden 1 no slash canceling.
Beat Ironman Angband. I think version 3.0.9b is the last fair version of Ironman before the next caretaker accidentually ruined it for Iron man play. Scroll of deep diving makes scrolls completely unsafe & one other thing added will be sure to kill you every time.
Made 800$ a month rent selling Asheron's Call Lewt on ebay. I was the first to write highly successful macro bots. I told Turbine, yo,"Macros should be allowed because they show the parts of the game that are so boring they can be automated and are not a challenge. Make every part a challenge and macros will be less effective.". I actually was doing some optical character recognition of the screen on the end macros to identify numbers for coordinates, so my player would patrol an actual large area, target specific monsters and loot them if they had specific loot. I was not just the first to the scene with successful macros, I was literally the #1 macro bot maker for Asheron's Call. I even used Optical Character Recognition writtren by hand to do navigation with macro bots I wrote later.
Beat TMNT on nes several times. People say this game is tough. It is not, it is medium.
Beat Mike Tyson's Punchout.
Beat Bionic Commando.
Beat Little Neemo for NES.
Beat Megaman 2&3.
Beat Street Fighter 2 on SNES all perfects on hardest mode several times. I may have tied 10 times, but did not confirm Shen Long was a hoax... I just thought I did it wrong.
Beat Super Mario1,2,3
Beat Mario 64 in one sitting. When I woke up after going to bed, my friend said,"Awesome! We thought you were dead." I asked why. He said,"You were asleep for two days straight." I asked him how long I was there... He said 5 days. I stayed up for 72 hours straight and didn't even notice I was tired.
Beat my friend's lil brother in Street Fighter 2 with my feet and a factory game pad.
Seeing as not many people liked Atari2600 and I trained on it til 1987, I very very very likely played more Atari2600 than anyone who ever lived... And seeing how boring it is compared to other video games, this is a record that I hold that probably will never be broken. To put this in perspective, Look above how I was the first to 1500 wins in Warcraft3 and how I am #1 NA Senna on games played... Both of those show I'm a world class competitor on sinking time in to games people like and being #1 most played. Now look at boring Atari2600 that no one but me was mass gaming like this... And realize,"Wow, Jim has a record that no one ever set before him and no one will ever beat after him." Another thing showing God has blessed me as the original soul video gamer who never quits.
I also make games. In fact my combined experience of playing games, making games and designing games is over 150,000 hours! No wonder I'm a front runner for the best video game player who ever lived. Check out my games. I focus on fun over making money: CrystalFighter.Com I'm a great designer, but a lazy web designer, don't care much about presentation on the web. I'm world class at User friendly interfaces, but I know like people better than me who I regard as the best and let them do it for me, heh. That Battlemon game, I made simply so a special needs member of mine could tell his friends that he made a video game. I legit spent 2000 hours or so just so my cousin bro could boast and feel good about himself, that's the type of soul gamer I am. No money made, just pure love of games, family and friends! I wrote an entire tcp/ip game server from scratch, hah.
I emailed Westwood to add regenerating spice and multiplayer to Dune2 and make Dune3. They debranded and made Command and Conquer 1 and did just that.
I'm the game designer advisor for Blizzard that said to lower gold drop from creeps in The Frozen Throne to promote more PVP instead of competitive pacman PVE. I was right.
Been coding MMOS since 1992, designing since 1985ish when I read a compute magazine about Compulink for C64.
I know the God of Love exists. Only God can empower you like this, such as Solomon's Great Wisdom or Sampson's Great Strength.
If you want to excel in life, follow Jesus Christ, the Son of the God of Love, and love everyone around you. Todays rage gamers are losing at life even if they're winning games. Gotta lose the rage, and get love in you.
I've been a victim of police brutality, despite not committing a crime, with the news printing lies about the incident they are aware are lies. I love police though since I'm an Eagle Scout, everyone makes mistakes. Love's the way. Pray for police.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 I realized another thing, that in this world fast runners do not always win the races, and the brave do not always win the battles. The wise do not always earn a living, intelligent people do not always get rich, and capable people do not always rise to high positions. Bad luck happens to everyone.
Maybe it's not too late, to learn how to love and forget how to hate. -Ozzy Osbourne from Crazy Train
I also make video games independently. Play Starfighter General on PC for free free. Love's the way.
In the old arcades, having played way over 10,000 hours, I never remember hate happening once, but in today's culture, hate is taught to be cool which it is not. Hate is lame.
Let us all love each other, play games and harmonize, maybe detox the rage gamer culture for both hate and love burn in the human heart. Stoke the fires of love and quench the fires of hate. Hate leads to harm and more hate. If we're all jealous haters harming each other, that is Hell on Earth. If we all love and collaborate, that is Heaven on Earth.
