Get better at Smash without playing it.

[etecoon]

I find caffeine/sugar loaded drinks do more harm than good, I just get fuzzy and stuff

also, another reaction time test

the one from the OP

anyone else find that the times are very different?

 

[TreK]

Nah, I had 0.3 on both (I'm really, really tired right now, not johning)

 

[etecoon]

weeird, I'm getting like 80ms on average difference between the two lol, just me I guess

Nope it's not just you. I get about the same difference (faster on the rectangle one)

Maybe if you got some real sleep, you wouldn't lose to peach.


LOLLLLL

Just doing Minty's work for him.

Mr r too good

My state just prefers to get drunk and high. Take Lain and Judge for example lol It works for them.

I liked this article though. Good read.

getting high really can help your concentration, AND your mindgames too. ask any high level stoner-smasher

 

[chief164]

well there is no such thing as brain damage from getting high, seeing as it puts a coating over it rather than killin the cells directly. it's actually therapeutic in a sense, but what would you know? alcohol is WAY worse that weed. but this is a good thread, music helps me think faster if its fast music

 

[DerpDaBerp]

People ( as in people who view video games as somthing that rots your brain and is stupid **** AKA non gamers).....

Television (or "screen time" in general) does hinder our brain. Not cripplingly perhaps.....



Anyway, the biology behind performance is very interesting. Good read.

Makes a lot of sense. I have a neuroscience PHD in my family so I hear this all the time. Very good read. I might take that aspirin before tournaments and break my sound dependent habit and start listening to orchestra music on my iPod.

 

[Monkley6]

I noticed I seem to play better when listening to music, but I figured it was just a fluke, but I'm definitely going to continue doing so.

anyone else find that the times are very different?

Just a thought... the one in the OP doesn't respond until you let go of the mouse-click, and the one you linked responds as soon as it's clicked in.

lol getting high worked for lain the first year. now not so much cuz of brain loss.

what really bothered me is this no vibrations. i mean i can see ur point of my reacting to glide attacks when i feel it being shielded. but if i take it off i feel i will lose some smash di potential. hmm maybe just act only on sight reaction n rely less on feel

I rarely practiced Brawl throughout its lifespan and have done fine.

I rarely practiced Brawl throughout its lifespan and have done fine in doubles.

fixed for great truth
:3

 

[DMG]

lol

Naw man I just went from 2nd best in Texas when everyone was bad, to 5th when everyone else got good.

Not gonna lie, Doubles is clearly my forte in both regular and low tiers.

 

[Damage Points]

Dmg do you even play anymore??? I cry web I watch your wario videos.

 

[DMG]

I still play. Last tournament I went to IIRC was Whobo 2 actually. Either that or a Local Dallas tournament right after.

I don't practice very much though. Never have.

 

[Dragoomba]

Music usually makes me **** up when I play, I don't know why.

I do find it hard to get rusty at Brawl, is it even possible?

That reflex game is mad addicting, btw.

It's the opposite me. It helps me concentrate.

 

[TreK]

Depends on the player. I can't do **** with Diddy without the sound (the monkey screams are part of the mindgames =@)

 

[DSPepper]

Great Advice! I'll Try It

I can personally agree with this, since I smoke up before tournament sets.
