I'm good at playing with ridiculously hard self-imposed rules, then refusing to give up until my 300th or so attempt and ragequitting.

I'm in the complete middle ground on video games. I can beat just about anything I get my hands on, but I'm not world championship caliber. My personal best is that for a fleeting few moments, I held the world record in Tetris. I was so happy I sent in pictures of my score to Nintendo, only to find out sometime later that week someone else had completely trumped me. Before that guy sent his shit in, though, I had tops. Hah.
Also, I won second place in that Starfox thing they were doing circa 1992. It was local, mind you, but I won one of those cheesetastic shirts for it.

Not only is that not right, that's not even wrong. It's a meaningless statement. Saying something is "one molecule away" from plastic is like saying a farm is one letter away from a fart. Water is "one molecule away" from being explosive hydrogen gas. |

Beating the entire Sinnoh Elite 4 + Champion with an Electivire (so far as OHKOing everything but Lucien's Bronzong).

That's easy, my first playthrough of Pokemon Silver was done almost entirely with a Meganium,
even though I sucked and his moveset probably included Razor Leaf, Giga Drain and Solarbeam or some shit like that.
And now I'm stuck at Giovanni in Saffron City. Actually, I'm stuck against the Rocket Grunt before him. So I'm training against Mewtwo.
As for achievements... in Super Mario 64, I'm trying to get every coin in every level. It's not done yet, but I did finish Lethal Lava Land.
That was such a total pain in the ass. Those fucking volcano bully bob-ombs' coins always fall in the fucking lava, resulting in MANY restarts.
Also, I can defeat every robot master in Mega Man 3 with the Mega Buster, save for Quick Man, against whom I almost always have to use an E-tank even while using the Search Snakes.

Beat Castlevania SOTN for the 30th time, and I keep finding shit I never found in the previous play throughs. Like the Sword of Dawn. Never had that before. Or the fact that I found out during this last play through that the wolf can swim. WTF?! That's why that game is amazing.

I love that sword. That is by far the coolest weapon in the game for me.

The wolf can also let you access the Coliseum early (~10:00 into the game), and you can use the wolf charge to skip the Richter fight entirely. There's all kinds of crazy stuff about SotN.

Well I have yet to go through the game and not discover something new. Which is ridiculous. I'm in the process of getting the drops from everything. I've been fighting bosses with the Jewel Sword just for the challenge. It's actually kind of fun, long, but fun.

I remember doing a "get everything" run, iirc it took about 37 hours of continuous killing to get everything. Didn't know you have to do it on a replay after you've beaten it to get everything, but luckily I was replaying, heh.
I was trying to max out the % with some of the glitch methods, but I think I topped out at like 232% or something and last I checked they had it up to 429.1%.

If they kept track of homw many times you've completed the game my number would be crazy large.

Same. When I was trying to beat the speedrun record I'd do it 2-3x per day. I kinda want to replay it again, but I got burnt out so hard during that time.

Isn't Electivire pretty powerful, though?

Beating Giovanni (the fight in the Silph Co. building) in Touhoumon Lunatic with only level 70s. He has level 90s, with base stats in the high-600s,
but with (probably) crappy movesets because I just Earthquake'd my way through.
It took 18 minutes though, with 10 of them against the last one because IT JUST WOULDN'T FREAKING DIE!!!

I always just kept selecting anything that had red or white in it till I found him, the graphics are so blurry and pixelated you can't really tell what anything is anyways.

I beat Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts on SNES cartridge on Professional (both run-throughs). Had to set myself to 9 lives, but I forgive myself.

Once I beat someone on Custom Robo for the GC in some crazy amount of time like 5 seconds.

While replaying FF6 Advance, I got reminded of one:
- Beat Hidon in FF6 (SNES) using Strago alone; with no level grinding before that. It only happened because I misunderstood the instructions (My English wasn't that good back then).

First of all, I have been staring at your signature image for the last 5 minutes. Fucking love it.
Second, what exactly did you think the instructions were directing you to do?

Beating the computer in match mode on normal using Cirno. It's not much of an accomplishment, but I kinda suck at this game, so I'll take it.
I also got a perfect in the first round.
