Just how much does Smash consume your day?

Personally, I only go 1 - 2 hours whenever I get down to playing, but I've seen other posts around the Boards stating that there are some players who generally play 8 hours a day... which I find a little much. Regardless, I am curious to discover just how much time you Smashers are spending playing the game.

Note that the time you play is not just in one sitting, but the amount accumulated throughout the course of the day.

I usually play Smash anywhere from 1-3 hours.
Most of the time that is in one sitting. xD

On the days I do play, it's usually 1-2 hrs, but I've peaked at 10 hrs.

About an hour or less a day. I really need to start playing more, though.

Currently on a Smash break due to DFO but I normally play between 2-4 hours a day polishing up on my mains and experimenting with other characters to find out new ways to use them.

Hard to say. On week days, I hardly ever play anything these days save for the days I work at the freaking office (ironically enough lol), but on week ends, I just go crazy.

I play a lot more **** besides Smash, though, in the end it's probably something more like an hour per week.

Then again, every now and then, there's some days where I do like... Absolutely nothing but play Smash, so yah, hard to say.

Sometimes I wish I had time to play more than 2 hours per day. The only time I do is in tournaments and weeklies.

I've got a life with a job and friends though (albeit some of my friends play smash), and I wouldn't cut time off that.

About 1.5-2+ hours each day depending what time I start, usually with the same person.

Usually a little over an hour. I don't play everyday, but I do play more on weekends.

On days I play, usually every other day, I play before school, at lunch, and in the way home from school. That amounts to 1-2 hours per day, four to five days a week.

About 1 or 1.5 hours on weekdays, and around 2-3 hours on a weekend if I'm not doing anything else.

I play PM at lunch at school with my buddies, with maybe another 30 mins at home. Do homework/smash, eat dinner, smash. 3-4 hours weekdays, same with weekends. Some weekends I binge like 6-8, but on weekends I usually have other fun things to do.

It varies. Most of the time it's 1 to 4 hours. I usually practice in intervals though, so 1 hour here, another here, sometimes i go in one sitting though. On Saturdays it is all day though, me and my bruhs get together for a smash fest.

I'm employed, married, and preparing for college graduation, so I'm lucky if I can get in an hour a day. Right now I'm mainly working on getting perfect pivots down

On the daily, just long enough to contribute points towards a Conquest in the For Glory Smash/FFA room, which is within 5 minutes or less, depending on the lag and load times. After the opening For Conquest match, I try to stick around the FG FFA room for at least a match or two before going over to FG Teams for 2-3+ matches. Since those are 2 minute matches each, with potentially extra seconds if Sudden Death happens (which is surprisingly frequent!), they add up to 15-ish minutes or so. Sometimes, I take a few minutes to visit the Combo Labs (aka Training Mode) to test out ideas and experiment with certain MUs and such. (Ex. Can :4bowserjr:'s Mechas and Cannonballs challenge :4duckhunt:'s Cans, Clays, and Gunmen? Answer: YES! 8O)

Depending on who shows up in any of the matches, I may stick around a bit longer. I'll tell you all straight up, if ANYONE plays as :4bowserjr:, :4duckhunt:, :4drmario:, :4gaw:, :4dk:, :4olimar:/:4alph:, :4robinm:/:4robinf:, :4wiifit:/:4wiifitm: , :4palutena:, or :4zelda:, among other uncommon characters, not only will I do my best to stick around for the runback, but I'll even switch to :4bowserjr: or :4duckhunt: or the other stated/uncommon characters myself if they were in the room, due to them being: 1. my mains (Jr & Duck Hunt, that is), 2. rarely seen in FG FFA or Teams, 3. ripe for the sharing of intel because of point 2, and 4. really fun to fight against (ESPECIALLY the :4bowserjr: & :4duckhunt: Ditto MUs when the Jrs Side B Jump Cancel and the Dogs move either WITH or AWAY FROM their own projectiles).

Lately, I Smash once or twice a week, typically with a friend doing some Team FG. That said, we typically end up Smashing for at least 4+ hours at a time.

I overdo it and while I normally aim for 1-2 hours I can go past five in a row....

I only play once or twice a week now, but when I do play, it's usually anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. I usually end up quitting after I face 3 Sonics in a row.

On a regular day like today, anywhere between 1-3 hours. That's just hopping on for a few matches here and there before or after I play other games. On a day that I actually play Smash (practice w friends, etc) we could go for 7-8 hours or so, depending.

Due to school now getting in the way, I normally do around half an hour's worth of Smash (which is mostly just myself watching my amiibo fight amongst themselves).

Though the periods of time spent playing Smash myself really varies.

Been practicing for about 1 to 2 hours a day if I have time. If I end up playing with someone else it usually goes slightly longer. It depends on the weather.

Most of the time depends on what day it is and what my friends are playing but I always get an hour of smash a day.
