Is there a way to counter "sweaty palm syndrome" in Brawl?

[The_Altrox]

When I play Brawl or Melee, and the match is good, my palms often beging to sweat like crazy, and sometimes my fingers too. Often when this occurs, I try to do a quick wipe of my hands on my jeans to dry them when I have the chance, but the controller remains sweaty. Is there ANY way at all, no matter how small to counter this before it starts because <john>it really screws up my playing.</john>

wear gloves.

Buy a wristband?

I dunno.

 

[The_Altrox]

Wristband wont work most likely. it probably won't be close enough to absorb palm sweat.

Wasn't there an offbrand controller that had fans in the grips?

I might be thinking of playstation, but it was supposed to keep your palms from getting sweaty while playing.

What would anti-perspiration do to hands?

I think I saw one somewhere for the GC.

Yeah, my friend has one, they're definatly out there and work great. Though finding a comfortable one might take a bit of searching. :X

Don't get hit.

Or get leather gloves, your grip on your controller won't be affected (too much) and it elliminates the sweet problem.

Gimmicky controllers often break easily. I don't know if I should

Wipe sweat onto jeans/pants.

I thought everyone did this lolz.

 

[smasher32]

sweaty palms occur due to nervousness

stop getting so absorbed in the game i guess >_>

Prescription, two hours in the Earth Room. And get a haircut.

 

[M@v]

didnt they make GC controllers a while back that had minifans in the grips? lol....

wipe your hands every chance you get.

My response to your problem is rubbing chalk on your palms before playing the game. This will let your hands stay dry. It should, anyway.

 

[themrskills]

Two options: Beat your opponent before your hands start to sweat, or use baby powder. I opt for the first option.

 

[cjrocker]

Ah, I have this problem. I tried using gloves, but my fingers would slip just as often. I tried chalk, but that was more effort than it was worth. Still haven't found anything.

Dry your hands off with a towel from time to time.

 

[ndayday]

I have this problem too, however I havn't found a good solution. I just got used to it eventually, and it's a habit for me to wipe my hands on my jeans whenever I get a chance.

You could try wearing gloves or applying something like baby powder on your hands. Maybe sand would help? (if you have kitty litter it most likely works good)

Get gloves.
I have fingerless black ones. =P
I used them a lot back when I mained Marth in Melee.
