Title says it all really. I am interested in poll results but also discussion and arguments.

I have been watching these 4 major channels for a while and haven't come to any firm conclusion. I realize "games" encompasses a pretty wide skillset, so e.g. Markimoo could be best at bullet hells and one of the Game Grumps could be best at rhythm games, but who do you think, if they set aside their online schtick, is actually the most skilled gamer?

Rankings of the 4 are also welcome. I find Jack charming, but skills-wise I would tend to rank him at the bottom of these channels, but also I am insane / dumb / possibly biased.

Watching anyone else play Getting Over It is what made me think Pewdiepie might actually be okay at games tbh
It doesn't even look that hard

Yeah, he did better at Getting Over It than the rest of my (short) list. I think something in his personality, maybe even just stubbornness, makes him better at deliberately frustrating games like that, Trap Adventure 2, IWBTG etc.

Getting Over It is not that hard (although it does get pretty hard)... success is more a matter of not losing your cool and sticking with the game rather than getting too pissed off to play well and/or just giving up. The current Game Grumps got nowhere with it.

Never watched Game Grumps or Pewdiepie (preferred his vlogs later in his career as those were far better quality than his gaming stuff. Never watched Septic. Markiplier road other Youtuber dicks hard like Captain Sparklez and all but forgot about them once he surpassed them. He's a nice guy and all, but he does know how to play the scene so I give it to him.

I guess it's between Mark and Pewds for me. When Mark is playing some random horror game or something while running off at the mouth, he often overlooks in-game shit and is sloppy, probably more interested in having fun and being entertaining. But then he's also able to basically waltz through Cuphead...

I say Markiplier. When it comes to a new Five Nights at Freddy's game, his puts his Burger King paper crown on the line.

Game Grumps play games like they're retarded. I'm not really familiar with anyone else here but they have to suck some serious donkey dick to be even remotely comparable.

I voted Game Grumps, but only because that includes Danny, Ross, Barry, and Holly, who have all shown some proficiency over several videos.

And I mean Arin did finish a CD-i Zelda game with the really bad controller. Gotta give him props for that at least.

skilled people arent popular, because they don't care about being clowns and clickbaiters.
I would never assert that any of these poll options are more than "entertainers who game." I just wonder who among them is closest to gud.

Before you vote Game Grumps:
And Arin actually has the gal to talk about game design.

Wow, that vid was brutal. I have definitely noticed the Grumps resort FAR too readily to walk-throughs.

They're actually OK at games, just so as long as they're not playing zelda or arin isn't talking.
Danny did actually get quite good at paper Mario and arin is genuinely good at the soulsborne games

Markiplier for me when he ripped through DOOM 2017 like it was nothing.

Pewds may be better since when he was streaming PUBG he was pretty good at it
He's definitely no stranger to shooters.

What happens when you take a fat alcoholic with a dying show and watch him play video games where he sucks, doesn't say anything funny nor insightful, and can't be bothered to learn how to properly play?
