I have a 100% items file in 2 hours 20 minutes (no sequence breaks or dedicated speed strats) in Super Metroid.

I can't even get to Lower Norfair in 2 hours currently lmao <_< or 100% items. I forgor the locations. I can get about 96%.
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.

I was somewhat good in rythm games many years ago.

Not on the professional peak level, and I'm still good enough to beat most people in it, but I have no chance to hit the level I already had again.

Even uploaded a replay in potato quality once because a friend didn't believe me.

Good old cringy osu time from 2017:

1:24 100% completion in Super Metroid. Original hardware, back in the early 2000's. I learned about mockball and just went nuts. Don't have the save anymore because the cart battery died or the save corrupted or something. I don't remember exactly.

Edit: I can barely ever pull off mockball anymore lol. And some of the other glitches, like ice beam ceiling warp for back door entry to Spring Ball I can't do at all to save my life.

Specifically on the original Genesis version of Sonic 2, I can't get all the chaos emeralds anymore. I can on the mobile and Origins versions, since I'm so used to the HD versions of the special stages that the grainy looking original is a completely unplayable mess now and I have no idea how I was ever able to do that when I was younger

Dunno, I've mostly gotten better at games over the years. Probably some of the old shit I did in MMOs purely out of time constraints.

A lot of old PS1 era shooty games give me motion sickness these days too, shame because I really want to play Armored Core Master of Arena.

Playing games for 6 hours per day or more.

Serious answer, the hardest thing I ever did was unlock everything in GoldenEye. I never want to attempt it again.

No way I could be a top 100 LoL player now if my life depended on it.

I realistically could not go back to Xbox Ninja gaiden and beat Master Ninja mode.

Deathless runs in Super Meat Boy, which is doing all 20 levels of a world in a row without dying. I could maybe manage the first 4 or 5 worlds but doubt I could ever do the last two Dark worlds again.

Not really an "achievement" but I used to know the key stats of the major unique items in Diablo 2, as well as how to make most relevant Runeword gear and what they were good for.

Now I have to look that crap up other than like 5 of them.
Bosses are immune to the eat command so it won't be possible to end the final boss fight of the game by eating it.

I had a top-100 score on a couple songs in Guitar Hero 3 during its heyday. At least, I think it was GH3? The songs were Carry On Wayward Son and Sweet Child o' Mine, so whichever incarnation had those two. I had 53rd in Carry On Wayward Son and 64th in Sweet Child o' Mine. I think there were like 100k names on the leaderboards at the time.

I'd be lucky to even finish practically any song on Expert difficulty these days.

Probably 200 lightning dodges. I didn't have too much trouble as a kid, but I don't even think I have the patience to try anymore. Getting lower than 0:00:0 in the Chocobo race was always pretty easy for me though. I remember getting really frustrated with Kimahri's forest thing with the butterflies as a kid, but doing it eventually. I tried on Steam just a couple years ago and did it on the first try with ease. I'm not sure if the Steam/international version is easier or if I had no encounters turned on or something (but pretty sure no encounters are turned on during the minigame anyway).

I held the #1 global rank on Xbox for Marvel vs Capcom Infinite for about 4 years til a bum boosted himself up way past me with a second account even after I destroyed him every single match we ever played. Enjoy it, dipshit.

99 Fishing/Cooking in RuneScape

I would have been about 17 then, no way I could dedicate that amount of time these days.

I used to be able to beat Contra without using the "Konami Code". I used to have every movement memorized to get through at least the first 5-6 levels without losing a life.

Zero chance I'd be able to do that now.
You gotta laugh. That is the one thing at the end of your life you will not wish you did less of.

Probably beating NES games. Even with the Konami code I probably couldnt beat Contra these days.
Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Ooh, this too. I actually beat Zelda II on a NES.

Definitely 200 Lightning Dodges. I only ever beat it once, and that was after stumbling home from the bar one night drunk off my ass, which gave me the necessary anti-neurotic focus to power through it in one take. I don't drink anymore, so I don't think I'll ever be unlocking the Onion Knight again.

I seem to only get better at games in my advanced age.

Not sure I have any crazy accomplishments though. I just beat games.
