Because we already have a thread to lament, b!tch, and otherwise detail our biggest screw-ups, why not have one where we can either brag, laugh, or otherwise rave about our luckiest moments in video games.
By this, I mean . . .
A) You gambled, took a risk that really either shouldn't have worked or at least shouldn't have worked nearly as spectacularly as it did.
B) You really should not have survived, period. How the hell you made it out, you're barely even sure of. You passed between a rock and a hard place with more success than you had anticipated (if any at all).
C) You were having a really suck-ass 'this sh!t is ridiculous' horrible moment in gaming, when out of the blue things turn around and contort it into a weird-ass 'this sh!t is ridiculous' wonderful moment (in America gaming).
Write about those times, all, and to start us off I'll mention a little bit of what happened to me.
_-_-_-_
In Disgaea 2, there is a mission where you've got a square area with a big mook in each corner, and in the middle there are nine isolated spaces with Warp and Invincibility Geos that are occupied by four different Mages (one of each spell; Red [Fire], Blue [Ice], Green [Wind], and Star [she's orange]).
It promised to be a long and annoying fight.
However . . . prior to starting my game up that day, I'd had the title on long enough to see one of those little demo videos -- in this case, the one where Rozalin uses a Cell Phone and calls a Prism Ranger. This match, I figured I might as well try it.
Now, those aforementioned 9 spaces were isolated by a ring of No Entry geos, so while we could not get in, the Mages could not get out . . . but then it ended up being the case that when I used the Cell Phone, it spawned a Prism Ranger all right . . . onto one of the 9 isolated panels.
The Mages were wholly preoccupied with the act of (failing to) blasting the living hell out of the Ranger, hitting it with spell after spell until they were out of MP, while my team just skirted around the edge and pulverized each of the big mooks before lifting one of the Geos that was outside the No Entry zone, and beating the stuffing out of the Mages that were unlucky enough to warp onto it (throw into middle of combo zone, use combo, wash, rinse, repeat).
I cannot believe to this day my luck of where the guy spawned -- Prism Indigo, you have my thanks, and that is probably NEVER going to happen AGAIN.

Same game, different scenerio.
I was within Zenon's Castle and this Wood Golem was kicking my ass hard, he took down most of my units and all I had was Kazuma the Gladiator, Adell, and my Dragon who was too far away and too fucking slow to assist.
Kazuma was feeling the burn, having only 5 HP left and Adell didn't have enough SP to try his skills to help. The Wood Golem was in front of Kazuma and within attacking distance, and I knew I had to do something or I would lose this battle. So I had Kazuma use [King of Beasts] to push the enemy back and then I would pull back.
Holy shit, you would not believe the luck I had when Kazuma actually rolled a Critical and killed the Wood Golem I was going to initially run from.

Disgaea DS, Item world of the Cosmic Blade, the Second to last world. After dealing with floor 99 I ?repare myself to get raped by the Item god (Which has a Yoshitsuna, a RANGED SWORD). When entering the last floor, surprise! The Geo panels are arranged in a way that by sacrificing a measly monster. I can trap the Item god between No entry panels, and stick him on a silence panel! That allowed me to buff my thief's speed to steal the Yoshitsuna and blast him easily with Mages.

OK, you officially win at Item World. I mean, you've certainly topped my story, that's for sure. I mean, my fluke was one thing, but yours was in the Item World. Otherwise known as 'The Random Number Generator Hates You World'.
Seriously; for those of you who've never played Disgaea (or never played enough of it to enter the Item World), go read through the Crawl Relay Run thread over in Unlimited Game Works. Item World is kind of like that (randomly generated floors, need to kill mooks and survive as much as you can), but with a difficulty curve proportionate to the item you use to make it and how many things you've killed. It's also the only way to get such wonderful goodies as the Yoshitsuna (as stolen by The sword that cleaves evil, above), and in later games (like, say, Disgaea 2 onward) . . . some really good things.
(And by 'really good things' I mean 'I am seriously considering trying to slip the Holy Dragon party some booze next bill, maybe chloroform the rest -- and I need more medicine to try to win over the Baciel partym the damn drunkards'.)
-
And you haven't seen when I gotm an Hyperdrive. Basically I tinkered with the panels to have most of the map with invincibility. After stealing I switched back to No entry and the slaughter began.

But, of course, you could always relate a rough scrape that you were amazed you made it through. That'd be a lucky moment.

lol, immediately by reading the topic I thought of a disgaea moment, funny that it's like the only game mentioned herein.
ANYWAY, I got a legendary cosmic sword in disgaea 1... from like the 7th floor of the diabolic sword item world.. you know, the sword you get by talking to one of the monsters in the throne room during the story portion of the game.
so yeah.. I had a legendary cosmic blade before I even completed the game. roffle.. Even though it was a sword, it had more armor, magic resistance, agi, etc than any character I had at the time, let's not even mention the damage it had.

I'd say that the only thing that comes to mind was me getting a Jah rune dropped on Nightmare Act V, on D2. And I was on single player O.O
I proceeded to get a Ber from a friend and my main character, a Necro, has had teleport since then.

All of you shut up and get back on topic. This is a perfectly fine thread. Quit being faggots about stupid bullshit.
THANK YOU.
And I apologize if I got too melodramatic; I tend to get that way when seriously angered (and several minor real-life calamities did not help matters any at the time).
That said, let's get back on topic.
I recently, in Spelunky, had a death that while utterly saddening, would have (if it had actually been a survival) actually been horribly lucky.
Those of you who play the game might remember that in Area 1, picking up the Golden Idol sends a 2-by-2-tile boulder rushing after you a la Raiders of the Lost Ark. This is what happened, but the way it happened was so spectacular that it still astounds me.
Occasionally, the rock will fall down a hole if said hole is 2 or more tiles wide. As I fled downstairs through a 1-tile hole, I soon realized that beyond that wall was a hole large enough to accomodate the rock. So I fled further down, until I got in front of a shop, and started to high-tail it AWAY from said shop because the rock was actually coming that way and not showing signs of stopping.
Cue me failing to make it and the rock rolling over not only myself, but the shop -- Shopkeeper along with it. All merchandise remaining unmoved, and the shotgun dropping where said merchant [of death] had been smooshed.
I admittedly raged a bit there, but as usual I started over (AGAIN) . . . though the event still sticks in my mind quite clearly, as you can tell.
So . . . maybe not a lucky moment, but it COULD have been.

I've never won a jackpot in any in-game casino game ever...excluding xenosaga's which doesn't count since it is about timing and skill than..well. luck.
Too bad real slots didn't work like that >=P.

Too bad =P

Playing Yu-Gi-Oh Worldwide Edition, dueling Kaiba. Turn 1, all I have that I can play is the trap card Ring of Destruction (choose one monster and destroy it, both players take damage equal to that monster's attack). I end my turn, expecting a Vorse Raider to start chewing away at my LP.
Instead he summons Cyber-Stein, pays 5000 LP and summons his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon to the field with an attack of 4500.
I swear, I've never flipped a trap card that fast before. Adding the cost of Cyber-Stein to the RoD damage, I managed to OTK Seto Kaiba, one of the strongest duelists in the game.
And it felt AWESOME.

anything in Grim Grimoire, I am bad at strategy geams and almost always end up winning by sheer dumb luck.

You are officially very, VERY lucky.
Cyber-Stein is Limited. For those of you who don't play the game, this means you can only have ONE of it in any given 40+ card deck.
Not only that, but nowadays it seems to be that Kaiba's AI is permanently set to either Hard or Lunatic, because it tends to be that either I get seriously lucky ("My Command Knight is now over 3000 ATK. RUN, BLUESY, RUN!") or quickly become Duelist Pancake ("My Command Knight's alone . . . OH, SH!T, IT'S BLUE-EYES GET IN THE CAR!").
Not even a Beastdown Deck is immune in Nightmare Troubadour, the guy's just that damn fast.
So yeah, congratulations to you, you are EXTREMELY LUCKY! Because while Cyber-Stein is Limited . . . so is Ring of Destruction.
Think about that for a bit.

Eh. You each draw 5 cards on the first turn. You have 40 cards in each deck, that's a 1 in 8 chance for each person.
1 in 64 chance of having both on the first turn.
EDIT: If we're going with Yugioh, one time my brother attacked me directly with a Vampire Genesis. I spring Inferno Tempest. Next turn I activate a newly drawn Lightning Vortex, use RftDD, summon Helios, Helios Duo, Helios Trice, Golden Homunculus and Gren Maju Da Eiza.
Not really lucky, but lol I love removal decks.

Of course, this chance decreases further when you factor in shuffling, I think. Probability is NOT my strong suit.

Eh, at least it requires more skill than 'LOL Blackwings'.
I actually used to run a fun little monstrosity I called the Fiend Beatdown Deck -- for obvious reasons, though I had one little card in there that didn't quite fit 'beatdown', on face value.
Most beatdowns will never run anything below 1700 ATK points, but I happened to run 2 copies of a little number known as 'Evil Hero Infernal Gainer'. He's 1600 ATK, but that's not important.
What IS is that he can disappear for a while in exchange for letting a Fiend you control attack TWICE EACH TURN. Needless to say, it was always a lucky day when I pulled him after getting a beatstick out.
Of course, the luckiest pull of him was after I'd gotten both 'Evil Hero Malicious Edge' and 'Dark Ruler Ha Des' out.
To do the math for ye:
Ha Des = "If a Fiend kills something, that 'something' gets negated."
Malicious Edge = Fiend-type + "I deal damage even when attacking a DEF position mook."
(Malicious Edge + Infernal Gainer) + Ha Des = DIE.
Needless to say, it was a quick end.
-

I'm bad at probability as well, but not as bad as to say something as silly as that.
If you're considering the cards to be ordered, THERE IS NO CHANCE. You KNOW when the cards will come. So it's either 1 or 0 for the combo on first round. 1/64 means you ARE taking shuffling into account (But I won't be entirely sure of how the calculations go, and am too lazy to quickly work out by head)

Toto v Kyoudou (me) (http://www.estiah.com/character/combat/replay/id/5849136/owner/22263). Was facing a level advantage and unwittingly faced a type of deck I'm weak to but somehow I won. Derp!

SRW K. One of the last stages (The one where you finish the Kotetsushin Jeeg storyline). Somehow, after a lot of stages, I manage to get Shin Jeeg undereveled in one playthru. One of the events in that stage sends him straight to the boss of the stage, who is standing on a +30% evasion and 30% HP regen terrain. Not to mention my capital shp (The Daiku Maryu) was on the back and really weakened to perform an emergency rescue. Also, he decided to target poor Shin Jeeg every turn, and I was running out of SP. It all ended on the turn I simply had no more SP, so a hit was inminent (and both Jeegs have 3900 base HP, and really low defense stats), so I decide to attack and go out on a flame of glory.
*Critical hit*
I FUCKING LOVE YOU KENJI
(Criticals deal for 1.5x damage and ignore all kinds of added defense, be it barriers or terrain)

Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. I killed Alvis with Sety. EAT IT, weapon triangle!

Speaking of Fire Emblem, I was playing Blazing Sword and I was almost done with one of the worst chapters in the game (Chapter 20 Hector Mode) and this mage came up to Guy with about a 2 percent chance of hitting and a 1 percent critical chance. Guess what happened. I even got all the treasure, the member card, and Legault.
Yes, I know that's an unlucky moment but whatever.

...believe me, you don't want to start me on the unlucky ones. Like the archer with a Short Bow - 10 hit, 3 damage, 1 crit - attacks Ephraim, who has 9 hp left. BLARGLE.

Ace Combat 5. The mission where you fight off the Scinfaxi. I go out in the single anti-ship loadout I have available to me at the time. By the time the sub surfaces, I'm out of anti-ship missiles, and I'm running low on both guns and Sidewinders.
I end up sinking the Scinfaxi with my literally last burst of machine gun fire, having used the last dozen or so missiles on the SAMs, AAs, and Harrier launchers.

Star Ocean: The Second Story.
I killed the final boss of the game, Indalecio...
...without landing a single hit on him.
-
Petrifying him with a parry isn't exactly lucky, since you need to be aware of the circumstances regarding its occurrence and work toward the activation of said petrification.
-

Simple fact: The Algol has a REALLY low chance of activating, and only a couple of Indalecio's attacks can set it off, but...BATTLE START, Divine Wave, DEAD. It was brilliant.
I also managed to kill Marselio the first time he attacks you. You know, the time he's invincible. I killed an invincible enemy. :D

Some pretty nice moments being shared, by the way.

My RL friends have a habit of being ridiculously lucky at the game I play.. sigh. My disgaea story is like one example of one of the few times I was lucky that I can count on 1 hand.
One of my friends managed to get a complete set , for his class, in Diablo 2, before he even finished the game once.. To this date, I haven't completed a set ONCE, and that's after stockpiling set pieces on bank alts for like 8+ playthrus, argh. The same guy managed to get eaglehorn on his rogue in Diablo 1 shortly after his first playthru.
Another time I was playing like the first NHL hockey game electronic arts made for the Sega genesis with someone. (It has no year, so I guess it's the first), and he was charging for the puck that went behind his goal for icing. (I don't play sports games actually, this is still in my memory though). Anyway he was jamming the charge button so hard he didn't stop and slap-shot the puck from the opposite wall from the goal.
Did he just score a goal? no, he managed to do it in a way that it was impossible to save.. I watched my goalie position himself correctly to save the puck and all, but the puck bounced off the top of the post, into the back of the goalie's head, back and forth like 50 times (whack whack whack whack)...and went in. I was like WUT TF!!!
My brother was watching at the time, and to this day we still talk about that mement, even though it was like 14 years ago.
-
You mean the class specific sets or any set? Cause things like Isenhart, Artic and Sigon's just grow in trees.
The class specific sets are all very hard, I guess. I know a friend of mine ALMOST has a complete Tal Rasha set, but the closest I get is I think two items from Immortal King (maybe this friend has a third, I'm not entirely sure now).
I do find I can usually get better builds with runewords, good rares and a few specific uniques most of the time, though. I don't think there's an armour in that game I'd trade my Necro's Enigma for, for instance.
-
I got the Gull Dagger off a random Fallen in the Countess's tower with an Assassin once.
-
The time I made an Enigma, thanks to a random rune drop.
Ya, that was good times. I think I stopped playing Diablo 2 multiplayer shortly after that. There just didn't seem like any point to it anymore.
Uh, ridiculous luck moments... well, there's almost all my Halo 3 games. Stickies that should not stick, no scope head shots for no good reason.
One thing I've never gotten lucky with, actually, is Earthbound. No matter how hard I tried, I could never get the Sword of Kings or the Gutsy Bat.
-

Where's my mugging bat again?
Edit:
I reinstalled D2 again and went to play a little with some of my old chars. My necro(lvl 87) has a rare amulet with:
+2 Poison and Bone Skills
+7 Strength
+20% all resistances
+20% Cold Resistance
Poison Length Reduced by 75%
Level 3 Frost Nova (20 charges...lol)
WHAT THE FUCK?!??!?!?!
Who needs uniques?
Whenever it is I found THAT, it was a life changing moment!

My luckiest moment in gaming... is taming a Ghost Wolf in WoW, a week before Blizzard made them untameable.
Yuuma's my main DPS pet. <3
Needless to say, a lot of people are Parsee over that pet (especially since Blizzard lied about leaving them alone).
-
Not sure if this should count, but I was playing FE9 earlier.
Oscar has just gotten a critical, on like a 4 percent. That was cool and nice. Had him the next turn attack Dakova (the boss of Chapter 5 - Flight!). Oscar had another 4 percent crit rate, and was doubling.
After his first hit, I said to myself "the amazing criticalling Oscar"... he got a crit and took down Dakova. I laughed pretty hard at that.
-
I had 3 crits in a row off of 4%
theshim kidded not. Holy *Navi*.
-
That is not what I said for the record. I had two crits out of three on 4 percent :P
-
That is not what I said for the record. I had two crits out of three on 4 percent :P
that's like a 0.15% chance.. which happens fairly often, though I guess you did it on a very opportune moment eh? (still haven't played FE)

After hearing Ghaleon's Story, I'm reminded my own gem from a while ago.
I was playing Sonic Adventure 2: Battle with my friend, and we were racing. I always choose Amy, cuz I thought she was cool (:V) And of course my friend always choose Shadow.
For Reference, there's an ability common to the three non-metal hedgehogs that stop time. If you use it, it usually stops time for 10 seconds, allowing you to catch up. If you're really behind, it gives you 20 seconds to catch up. Amy, who was suppose to be slower but had better skills, sometimes let you go up to 30 seconds.
So of course, I was at least half a minute behind my friend. We were childish, so we sometimes like to mock each other when we reach the goal. He did a little dance and laughed at me while I was hopelessly behind. He jumped for the Ring, I activated Amy's time stop...
...40 Seconds...
It was the first, nay the only time We had ever seen a 40 second time stop. I was rushing through the rest of the Stage as fast as I could, he was yelling, pissed off, and tried to shorten the countdown by smashing all of the buttons. When he regained Control, his character fell straight down, and before he could jump up into the Goal Ring again, I had Smashed Through it and won.
He forced me to sign a contract stating I would never play as Amy again.

It's got to be in SRW @3 during the Final Mission. The final boss targeted Mazinkaiser who was down to 1278HP with a 99% accuracy...he missed. I was like :V then I LOL'd.

Lol I had a luckier moment than that in D2. I entered a room than a guy was transferring this items through and then I stole all his crap except for few. There was that weird helmet that gains +1 to all skills, 2 ring really good rings, a unique staff, a amulet (unique) and some more good crap but the unlucky part was I was like level 5 so i couldn't wear any of them so I gave to my brother who can and also the bro's account is deleted :(
-
Sounds like an awesome loot. On my very first time playing D2(might have been with this very same character. I rebuild all his skills a couple of times, though), I got Pelta Lunata, the unique buckler from under a Loose Boulder right on Blood Moors (the first explorable area). Used it throughout my normal play. Never played on Bnet though... just... eeeewwwww.... I rather stick with people I already know.
Also: your brother phail'd XD

Got into a really intense fight with this Ragna online. We were on the final round and both of us had 20% of our health remaining. I was doing Jin's mash C and he IB'd it into his Astral!. Luckily, the start up invulnerability frames wore off just before his attack launched and my mash C (which was still going) stuffed it. After that he rage quit, so I don't have the replay to prove it... :'(

I got one myself. I was playing Dystopia earlier tonight. We were the Corps, they were the Punks. My team was rushing toward a Jack In Point, trying desperately to stop the enemy from killing our Decker. I was playing as a Heavy, equipped with the Basilisk. As we ran into the tiny junction room, I ran out of ammo and was promptly gunned down by an enemy Medium along with a teammate. However, he was killed a few seconds after I had died by my Spider Grenade.
Thing is, I deployed said grenade completely on accident. I had been trying to switch to my hydraulic punch. I literally said "From beyond the grave!" out loud as it happened. I couldn't help but laugh as the poor bum's body was blown in half.
Another thing: The Spider Grenade's explosion somehow managed to NOT hit any of my still-alive teammates.

I shit you not, that's exactly what happened.

I was the luckiest person at a gaming tournament a few weeks ago, I went home with 1 of each prize.
How the heck do you manage THAT?
Played 3 different games, got 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

On my very first day playing guild wars I got 3 white dyes from random drops. Each is worth about 5K gold and, just so you can get an idea, that's about what you spend when making a set of ultimate armour. The gold limit on your character is 100K so, yeah. Shit's worth a lot, especially if you're just starting.

I was playing Call Of Duty 4 on my Xbox and I was playing with my friends on Search And Destroy. I was sniping and defending one of the bomb sites when my entire team dies one by one straight after the other. We had already killed two of their team but then it was 4 vs 1, so I went searching for the other team when this guy with an ak74u pops out of nowhere, and I get a lucky no-scope on the guy, then another one appears and I get a no-scope headshot, I run into a building and no-scope one other guy when I see the last man on their team run past the door and I pull out my pistol and kill the guy.
It was cool.
Also, Vile the same sort of thing happened when I started playing GW as well, So I've got loads of dyes I need to sell.

Back when I was playing a lot of CS(maybe 6-7 years ago?) I would always play on on pub serv where people were really good, some of them were in the best teams at the time. Everyone died on my team and I was up against 5 dudes. They were all coming from the CT spawn in dust2, so I jumped in front of them with my AK and sprayed bullets at them. And I won after headshoting all 5 of them. I took a screenshot of it but I can't find.
This happened pre-steam so it was probably CS 1.2 or 1.3 or something. I had similar cases but it was more skill based than luck since it was not with uber players. Anyways, I stopped playing CS. CS Source sucks and 1.6 is ugly, there are better games now like CoD4.

Yeah, it's a Touhou one. But extremely relevant, since it was my first (and currently only) Lunatic 1cc.

There was a time I vaugely remember when I hacked Megaman Battle network 6 to fight three copys of Gregar (A final boss) at once. There was a glitch with him though if you didn't kill all of them in a single attack the screen would go white until you selected chips in the custom menu again. That time I was playing the battle 2 of them ended up with more HP than one and I happened to kill that one with the other two still alive. Completly blinded I got hit by several attacks and knew I only had like 1 HP left. I managed to get the custom menu open and still blind I chose two chips at random. They where both Cure 120 Chips. Needless to say I was happy at the time.

Just finished a Preview Lap in Burnout Dominator (which I just got) with 0.4 seconds left on the clock.
