we used to hold pong tournaments at uni, using a circuit-accurate simulator of the original hardware and home-made replica paddles. really got the crowds going.

Stellaris, 100%
Niche Sci-Fi game. 100% fun with strangers but to see people play out the battle of a Galaxy competitively playing as their empire meta or not meta would be an absolute blast.
Sim Rally Racing and Minecraft.
I'm curious how competitive Minecraft would work
Theres a whole plethora of ranked, competitve Minecraft games, ranging from time trial type survival challenges, to parkour, to classics like Survival Games (battle royale) and Spleef. Alternatively, for something more casual, just use a whole variety of minigames.
This.
If there a hunting simulator where you go after the 1%? Not Hitman though it comes closest I think. That one.
Quake 3 Arena, but only if the tournament lasts no longer than 15 minutes. My heart can't take more...
PONG
Gorf.
In person? None. I ain't about to spend all that money on gas to drive to some place where I for sure am about to get my controller handed back to me in pieces. Definitely not when I would probably need a respirator due to attendees reputation for less than ideal hygiene.
Online? Name the game. Dead By Daylight? Pyramid Head main reporting for duty. Halo? Any of the Bungie games, any map. Smash? Melee or Brawl only, Final Destination no items. Forza? I can handle any of them but prefer Motorsport 7 with no assists enabled. Heck, I'm even down to do score competition in Silent Hill The Arcade via Teknoparrot.
Most of the time I play for fun. I don't try to be good or win or whatever. But that doesn't mean I don't know how to, and if I get a challenge I ain't declining out of fear of losing. I might decline if I can't be online at the desired time or for long enough to complete the match though.
Sim Racing. (iRacing, Assetto Corsa, or Richard Burns Rally).
Mario Kart 7, but 8DX would be fine, too.
