It hurts because you've played it too much without taking a break, and after a while your hand starts to cramp from being in the same position for so long.I was just curious because after acouple hours of high level of play in smash my hand huirts, hopefully wont contribute to hand problems in future.
well thats just not true at all.Once you get used to playing then you won't have hand problems.
How old are you? It's very unlikely that it'll cause arthritis. You might be gripping the controller too tightly, which could cause a lot of unnecessary tension in your muscles, and after playing for a while can make them sore for a couple days. As stated already, shake your hands around after every other match or so, if you play a lot.well thats just not true at all.
and i cant tell if ur joking or not superboom hahaha. no ones really given me a straight answer about actual damage to my hand, because after i play 3-4 hours my hands are done for a coyple dayz
well clearly, ive been playing for around 4 years, im just wondering how tons of play time and very fast movements and how it will afffect my hands in the future.You realise arthritis is a problem caused by continual use, not by one bout of playing?
After a couple matches my hand starts crapping out to the point were i need to wait a bit to continue.I think its b/c how many movements are involved towards the fingers, at a very fast pace and the style you handle your controller. Yea pressure has a good deal in it but that changes thru out the game. Only 64 so idk....Look over my previous post again. You're probably gripping your control too tightly.... don't add unnecessary tension to your fingers/hands while playing; the buttons take no more than a tap to register, and you should not be pressing down hard with your thumb on the analog stick - lightly resting it with just enough pressure to move it without your thumb sliding off. Most sticks are designed with some sort of lines or little bumps to give your thumb tip a grip on it (except for playstation ones i suppose).
I play a lot of xbox 360 and ssb 64, as well as playing trumpet pretty much every day, and my fingers/hands never really get hurt or feel sore.
Sure, but I was trying to explain that he did not have arthritis. From his post, it sounded like he was afraid that his hands were sore because he had arthritis, and I was saying he didn't. Over a long period of time, sure, maybe it could develop into arthritis, but he doesn't have anything serious to worry about medically now.You realise arthritis is a problem caused by continual use, not by one bout of playing?
