gaming If you had to take up playing games professionally, what genre would you specialise in?

[Reecejackox 359]

It would be mainly sporting games

[ExplosionMare 18,039]

Creative/artistic games

[Vinyl Scratch. 604]

Old School Runescape PvP for sure. I've always been terrible at it, but I enjoy watching it. There is a lot more depth to it than you'd initially think

[J.J 919]

I am ridiculously good at Soul Caliber, I am actually "pretty good" at fighting games in general given enough time to mess around with each character, test the match ups, play against some ppl that can use them viably.. I love the Smash Brothers series, but shit has gotten out of hand, I want to take to Super Smash Brothers Fox and Falco or Super Smash bros the original lol.. the 70+ characters in smash makes me kind of cringe, and they broke my heart with the moveset they game Banjo Kazooie, the animation and rendor are sooooo smooth though, I literally get a chub when I look at Mumbo, Bottles, Tooty and Grunty, I thought "surely seeing these rendors will inspire some type of remaster or something(still waiting) but I'm getting off topic, I am pretty good at every fighting game I've ever tried, Street Fighter and MVC being the trickiest, MVC has a lot going on and it's hard to focus on all 3 of your potential combos at the same time, I usually burn my x factor to early, but I'm really good with Dormmamu, Wesker and Superskrull, but yeah, Clay Fighters, Mortal Combat, Soul Caliber, SMASH BROS! Lol, there are some others, I didn't take Pokken online very much but with Weaville I was able to take Shadow Mewtwo in one go, I'm pretty good at Tekken, there's some major similarities..

Being a full-time streamer playing difficult action platformers and hack-and-slash games has always been my dream. I've already done "expert runs" beating Nintendo hard retro games, so for something more "relevant", I believe I could specialize in hard action RPGs and Soulslike stuff, given that I've beaten all of Soulsborne except for Elden Ring and if you want to count it, Sekiro. 

[Sparklefan1234 164,745]

Hmm...I guess "professional wrestling" games if those are considered a genere. 

[Ganondorf8 11,202]

I'd probably go with the RPG genre though I would place a restriction on myself. That being, I don't play overly long RPG's such as the Xenoblade Chronicles series. If it's a short RPG or one that can be completed in a fair amount of time, I'm all for it. Anything that would take say over 60 hours or so, I'd have to say no thanks and move on.

[Dynamo Pad 10,908]

I would have to say either fighting games, or strategy games like Pokemon. 

[Rainbow Cloud 17,338]

Probably Pokémon games but it wouldn't be competitively as I'm not really that good and more just playing through the games my own way.

[Cash In 21,782]

Platformers. Both 2D and 3D.

[Flying Pencil 3,023]

Either Pokémon or FPS

[Megas 27,324]

JRPGs and Beat-Em Ups

[Starset Twinkle 455]

Either FPS, specifically Halo, specifically Halo 3 (I've played over a thousand hours of the multiplayer so yeah... that)

Or professional grinding in RuneScape (but I quit about a year and a half ago so probably not that anymore)

[Clawdeen 12,145]

Horror games and indie games.

[Cherrychip 111]

I think it'd be fun to do voices for visual novels with some friends! Kinda like the real life Sonic fandubs but with a script 

[Sasoriman 129]

Metroidvanias (SotN, Order of Ecclesia, etc.), tower defense if that counts, assorted platformers, puzzle games. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 8,207]

Mostly sci-fi, I surely love Star Wars  

[Iforgotmybrain 4,338]

Probably Pokémon. There’s how many generations of games, so many different challenges you can do, different fan games. I feel like there’d be enough variety to keep from getting too bored.

[MadWitchJay 186]

I would not want to play games proffessionally. I want just play games for fun. Not for work.

[TBD 17,237]

I would love to work under Hidetaka Miyazaki’s games, creator of Dark Souls and more! Just basically under Namco Bandai Games Inc or Ubisoft to work with Harry Potter games and assassin creed!

[Spark Thunderbass 1,415]

It's always going to be racing games for me, especially sims, as I've got my own sim rig at home.

Driving has always been a pure talent of mine, and it definitely shows whenever I'm playing any racing game of sort, both arcade and sim, not many people I know can beat me at them as I'm just simply too fast for them!  

[Winter Storm 208]

This is kind of a hard one for me because in opinion the whole Esports community is a very messed up place that attracts not so good people. I'm decent enough at shooters but probably not good enough to be a "pro". I also used to have some anger issues in multiplayer games back when it seemed more important to me.

[Cash In 21,782]

Anything in the platformer or action-adventure genre. Maybe Mario Kart as well.

[Nightlight1313 168]

I've actually been training a lot in Osu in hopes I can maybe be pro-skilled sometime . And I've been having a lot of fun in Quake lately too which I know has a pretty big e-sports community. I wouldn't mind looking into it a bit if I got a bit better lol.

[Retro*Derpy 3,143]

I would probably do some competitive game, as that's most of my game library.
