 That One Player describes someone who has played a game so much, discovered all the secrets, knows all the moves, hell, he might as well have gotten the timing down to the point where he plays with almost super human reflexes. However, this ruins the fun of everyone else who plays with or against that one guy because he's so skilled, he's either doing all the fun parts or able to take on an army of adversaries without breaking a sweat. However, sometimes being That One Guy can be a talent for entertainment, when he can show off his inhuman skills.
That One Player, though, may not necessarily mean a stop having fun guy or the other way around. Nor is he That One Boss, though if he was a boss, he would be. May possibly be a Challenge Gamer, which would certainly explain their ungodly skill. And chances are they are a munchkin, and their munchkinry is to blame for their annoyingness.
Some video games have a "handicap" option to either make a certain player weaker or everyone else stronger, purely to keep that one player from restricting other players' fun... or their own, for that matter.
Not to be confused with The One Guy, a trope about one male character in an otherwise all female cast. Or with the concept of "That guy", a tabletop player who ruins the experience for everybody else through creepiness, powergaming, poor hygiene, or general unpleasantness. See also Munchkin and Always Someone Better.
