He's/She's a pro(fessioinal) is one possibility. OR as in your ID and after scoring many points/goals: He's/She's smoking hot!

I think a lot depends on the game being played. For example, you may not use the same vocabulary when playing football as you do when playing a computer game.

Could anyone please explain what is meant by "ultimate skill" in connection with games?
I know what skills are and ultimate means and also googled "ultimate skill", but it's still not clear.

Is it
1. Your overall ability to play the specific game?
2. Your score/rating, like for example the Elo rating system in chess?
3. Level of profession, for example "he/she is an amateur", "he/she is a pro"?

It's not a phrase I've ever heard in connection with games, but I imagine it refers to the highest level of skill possible. Mind you, I know nothing at all about computer games, perhaps it's used in that world.

I have a feeling that the language used in computer games or by those who play them is a language of its own. It probably has little to do with "real" English.
