somehow being good at Super Smash Bros. doesn't seem like that much of a triumph
"I can mash buttons slightly faster than you can!"
Remember the japanese gaming/melody machines? If that isn´t impressive I don´t know what is. Their entire nerve system must have been adobted to that special task.
I am really good rocking out while driving. I can go from drumming on my steering wheel, to an insane air guitar solo, then straight into the front man finger-point-while-singing routine really well. Some times I want my own autograph.

I've seen you on the highway. You scare me as well.
There's no way for me to convey to you the actual skill required to master SSBM or any other fighter without actually handing you your ass on one. No, it isn't much of an achievement, but it does require a lot of skill, hand-eye coordination, forethought, etc. and especially a lot of playtime, and it is what I'm good at and what I enjoy.
And, no, it is not just button mashing. SSBM especially not. There are certain fighting games that are button mashers more than others (like, say, Marvel vs. Capcom 2), but in just about any popular fighter, a skilled players will hand a button masher's ass back to him several times over.
I dunno, kirby can fly, and for a game that largely is dependent on how well you can not get knocked off the platforms, flying is a pretty ridiculous advantage.
I know a lot of this stuff is kind of sloppy and unprofessional, but, most of it is also just messing around ya know? I'm not much of a perfectionist, and I like really dirty funk.

Ah no, I don't so that shit on the highway, I'm only 20 and I've seen my fair share of accidents (being in them, seeing me friends in them, and I had one friend die driving drunk {which I thought was stupid before this...}), but out in the area where I live it's nothing but trees and wide roads. Sometimes I can't hold back the rock n' roll.
In the paper a few years back, I read about a lady who was REALLY good at - this is pretty gross - sniffing armpits.
She was a deodorant tester for the Dial Corporation, iirc.
I think her job was to detect just the right amount of certain anti-perspirant chemicals to use in the deodorant - enough to be effective, but not too much to cause irritation and itching.
What am I good at? I'm pretty good at solving problems that come up in the work place.
Good at coming up with easier and quicker ways to teach students something, like writing expository essays.
Good at planning the logistics for field trips that involve 150 students, 20 chaperones, activities, meals, buses, sometimes for overnight stays.
I'm good at telling if a student is lying to me, and then getting him/her to tell me the truth.
I have a certain amount of ESP, and can tell by glancing at someone all kinds of background information/influences that lead to the look on his face. This sense helps me to avoid additional complications/conflicts with that person.

At least I'm playing with friends and not myself
Kidding, it's a joke, I wouldn't have even mentioned SSBM except to throw down the gauntlet.

That's what separates me from you.
