Wing Commander series
Descent series
Terminal Velocity
Magic Carpet series

Not sure what you'd call the genre, "flying simulators" I guess. Even with a joystick I'm absolutely terrible at controlling these games.
Stealth games.
I love stealth games.
And I'm a terrible stealth player............ ugh.
TBS
RPG
FPS

Oh fuck it.....ALL OF THEM!!!
RTS - my guys seem to be underpowered compared to everyone elses.

I swear a farmer with a pitchfork could take out a battalion of my tanks no problem.
All of them... I can't think of any genre that I'm particularly good at.
Yup, definitely RTS for me. But then I don't play MP in RTS, and the single-player AI in a lot of such games is a cheating bastard that doesn't respect the fog of war or map reveal mechanics. Also, the controls hamper fast reactions in a lot of RTS games I've played (especially Total War).

I'm not too bad at TBS, but I rarely have the patience to learn the rules.

None.
I mean I suck at all of them pretty much equally.
I hate racing though, so I suppose that also makes me even less inclined to be any good at it.
But that wasn't the question.
Real Time Strategy. I love the idea of a game like Age of Empires or Star Craft. I can play the single player campaign to a certain point. but eventually it gets too hairy too fast for me and I have to stop. Which is a shame because I like the resource systems and the combat options. I love Master of Magic. All other TBS are pretty bad IMO.

I guess Strategy games in general are my weakness. I love the games, and can't play for shit.

Other games I love and am decent at: Descent, Wing Commander, Freespace, and other flying and space sims. I love it especially like in Freespace where the lack of gravity has an effect (not like wing commander where your engines burn fuel while going fast regardless). I'm not great at these games, but I can compete. I really love RPGs and am good at managing parties in most of those. though. Tactical combat is pretty boring most of the time though.
RTS without a doubt. Love those games. I'm just utter pish at them.
RTS here for me as well. I loved Warcraft, Starcraft, and C&C back in the day, but I would even get rocked by the computer AI sometimes.
RTS and Point n' Click adventure.
But I can't stop playing Starcraft,Warcraft,C&C and all of my PnC catalogue.
I think it would have to be stealth for me but it's still one of my favorite roles. I end up being spotted by one target and things go from quiet to total carnage and bullets flying everywhere. It's like.... Screw it, kill em all!!!! But with that in mind, I don't usually play any game where stealth is the norm anymore. Only games where it's needed occasionally, and I usually end up replaying that section several times.

Fighting games are a pain for me to the point I just don't bother with them anymore. Games like Mortal Kombat. But I do still play Rumble Roses from time to time. The controls are simple and it's not quite a button basher like the MK games are.

In all honesty though, I don't think I'm as good at any genre as I used to be. I think the only one I am still as good at is RPGs, I guess because they're usually slower. Oh man I'm slow!!!
RPG and 4X.

I enjoy playing both of those genres, especially the latter, but it seems I can't ever get anywhere in them.
Basically all games, I am really bad at most games but still I enjoy playing them.

You enjoy Rumble Roses? I never thought I would encounter someone who also likes the game! All I need now is to find someone who enjoys Senran Kagura as well.
