Can anyone suggest a game that involves two players dueling one another, where the outcome is entirely dependent on skill (and maybe a little bit of luck). Preferably melee combat.
Examples would be:
Freelancer 8-|
Stars Wars Jedi Outcast
Pirates, Vikings, and Knights II
Bloodline Champions. It's an arena game, guess you could call it pretty skillful. It's 3v3 mostly, but you can do 1v1's while in the 3v3 xD
You can also do 1v1's in custom rooms, etc.
Also Street Fighter. But that's pretty hard and has a steeeeeeeeeep learning curve before you know enough to beat other people online. Stuff like, judging distance by counting the squares on a wall while in a match, knowing every possible move of every character, knowing what move punishes what move and what move counters could counter the punish, stuff like that. There's also not much point if you don't have a stick.
