Smash Journeyman
So,
I registered for my first national tournament in any fighting game ever (Low Tier City 4 in Dallas), but I am unsure of where to start as far as training and stuff goes for Smash (I am a multi-year veteran of traditional fighting games though). I thought I would post my regiment and see what could be improved upon with less than a month until the tournament. I currently work 40 hours a week for a ISP in their call center and have three days off right now.
Regiment:
Saturday night/Sunday - get home from work and hop on For Glory until about 1am Sunday morning, then wake up around 10-11am and warm up against Lvl 9 CPUs before hopping back online for a couple of hours. Usually in this period I will spend anywhere from 6-8 hours in For Glory, taking breaks when I can. I main Rosalina and have Cloud as a secondary.
Tuesday/Wednesday - wake up and basically do the same thing as the aforementioned.
Thursday (occasionally) - I will go after work and practice with the local scene (I work 45 minutes away from home, but there is a small, tight-knit scene in the town I work in). I will normally play with them about an hour, then drive home to sleep.
I have not been able to make locals because I work 2nd shift on Saturdays (that's changing a couple weeks before the tournament though, and I plan on going to at least one local before LTC). So, what I am looking for is advice on how to best focus my training time and effort into a shorter time span weekly (so instead on spending 24-26 hours a week playing, I want to slim that to between 10-12 hours weekly if at all possible). I know that my first national is supposed to be a learning experience ... blah blah blah, I just don't want all the effort that I put in to go to waste or be in vain.
Suggestions are welcome, and if you're planning on going to Low Tier City ... I'll give you a hug (and maybe play a set with you in the friendlies room!)
