Omg the relevance of this thread to smash is overwhelming me

Yeah I don't play it but I love it.

Best emo song ever written. Trent is my god and savior

i see the link this thread is trying to make, and its ********.

 

[Korrupshen]

I play at school and hopefully it'll speed up my fingers.

 

[BEES]

I see where you're going with this. It is the exact same learning process.

Any string instrument would also be the same.

 

[Vts]

i daddle on the piano i'm attempting to learn :D

synthesia is amazing

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

pretty much every asian smasher

If I can play this and memorize it (which I doubt I would), I can be top at melee.

Being good at Melee does not depend on your skills in the form of the piano, but rather at how big your **** is, which is why there are no good femal Melee players/no sexism.

Milk Tea still plays melee <3 (I think) and no cheating Mr.swordsman we all know you use Extenze to make yourself larger, to improve performance and pleasure for melee.

LMAO. Sigged plz.

LMAO. Sigged plz.

I can trust u wit that LOL

 

[joeplicate]

hahaha dude this thread is absolutely not ********, it's completely on point


playing piano and learning tech skill are exactly the same
it's 100% muscle memory, and the process for learning both of them are the same
i might have to practice tech skill tonight LOL

 

[JPOBS]

yea but doing one does not make you better at doing the other. theres no causal relationship.

only playing piano can increase your motor functioning for playing piano, vice versa for melee. So this thread is just asking which melee players happen to do something else.

might as well ask how many of us also play beer pong.

not really

if there is a significant relationship between tech skill & piano playing you can look at how to practice one or the other from one or the other

its 5am and im bored of studying so im happy to chit chat about this.

i don't know what you mean by a "significant relationship between tech skill and piano playing". maybe you mean if significant numbers of people play both coincedentaly then there could be a correlation. or maybe you mean being good at the piano can make you better at tech skill.

Either way, i disagree on both fronts (or any other meanings really). Its true that both piano playing and tech skill practice increase the motor functioning of the fingers by improving brain motor cortex allocation to that region of the body, however it doesn't really help in any other practice other than that which you've used to expand your abilities.

Essentially, if you spent tons of times making complex but meaningless finger motions, your finger motor skills would be increased, but only in relation to making complex and meaningless finger motions. Likewise, being great at the piano only makes you great at the piano, it wouldn't actually help at all in being great at melee.

theres nothing to be transfered from the practice of piano to melee, because no amount of improvement via piano practice couldn't have been gained from practice of melee alone. however, it is possible to be coincedentally great at both, but thats different.
This is (for example) why the fastest Freestyle swimmer in the world, isnt also the fastest Backstroker/Buttferly swimer etc. They are similar but not transferable skills cuz thats just not how the body works.

there'd be more of a case to make if the gamecube controller was shaped exactly like the piano.

tl;dr meh, the body doesn't gain anything from practicing one motor skill set in lieu of another that it couldn't have gained by simply practicing the skill set of interest ad infinitum. therefore, discussing the concept of if melee players play/do anything non-melee related is really only useful for purposes of breeze shooting.

 

[joeplicate]

learning a piece on piano and learning new finger motions for tech skill in melee seem very similar to me

you learn how to practice, essentially, and incorporate new things into your subconscious (muscle) memory


playing piano offered me basically a new perspective on learning tech skill

 

[JPOBS]

oh well if we're talking perspective/mentality and stuff then sure I see that.

 

[joeplicate]

Well, not just mentality stuff, physical stuff too.


It's like playing piano strengthened a different part of my brain, which helped out with learning tech skill later.


Also, having fast, flexible hands feels great. Playing piano helps me remember that all you need to do is press the buttons you want to press. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's like my hands are more receptive to learning new things. When I used to really play, I would go back to my computer after a piano lesson and be instantly warmed up for stepmania, and be able to type super fast. It's more than having blood flowing through my hands, too, it's like the learning centers in my brain were warmed up too. It's a pretty good feeling.

Plus your hands don't get cramped from gripping the hell out of a tiny gamecube controller LOL

Sorry if that didn't make a lot of sense, it's really late and my thoughts are jumbled.

 

[-ACE-]

I took 5 years of piano, used to play Moonlight Sonata flawlessly. Haven't touched it in over 10 years though. Now I'm a beginner at guitar.

On topic.

No I don't.

But I know 3 friends/smashers that do.

 

[Beat!]

I used to.
I was pretty lousy at it.
:/.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

I played when I was little but was terrible because I didn't care about it too much but grandpa is a great teacher he teaches college classes and junk not piano but other music stuff. If you don't want to sit down and learn it and want the end result you'll fail if you don't want it enough like piano or smash. that's how they're most related I think

 

[CloneHat]

I play it sometimes.

But bassoon is better for your tech skill

 

[Shadic]

Playing Trombone massively helps mindgames.

They try and trick you out with a moonwalk, and you glissando all over them. Nobody else has them skills.

 

[SSBMLahti]

I played the clarinet for 5 years, it got me dem hoes.

makes sense, i see where you're coming from.

 

[Nø Ca$h]

in music.. creativity>tech skill
in melee.. mindgames>tech skill

 

[Rykard]

i'm a saxophone music major at my college and a lot of time when i practice my instruments i think about why i can't do half the crap i can in melee that i can on my sax. Hence my sig.

i do see a correlation with finger motion, but as compared to actual skill at smash, you have to think on your feet much more than in music cause no one is giving you chord changes or notes to follow

 

[Mini Mic]

I can play a bit.

 

[None Shall Pass]

I played trombone too!

****.

 

[Clownbot]

I'd love to be able to play the piano, I just don't want to bother learning. I also can't play two-handed for my life (I guess it comes with practice).

 

[BSP]

I played trombone too!

****.

I play trombone too

 

[eighteenspikes]

you dont move your hands, or fingers, like at all during smash. haha wtf they are like barely correlated. its like saying crocheting improves your golf swing

 

[Fuelbi]

I know how to play piano, but I haven't played in about 3 or 4 years

Now I just stick to guitar

 

[Mota]

I am asian.

At the age of 5 my parents made me do the compulsory few months of piano to see if I was a maestro in the making. I was not. They were disappoint.

 

[Pi]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WTF GOD YOU'RE DUMB

i don't care if these losers in the pool room play the ****ing piano

i'm only intersted in those that play melee competitively

THAT'S WHY I POSTED IN THE MELEE GEN. DISCUSSION SECTION

HOLY ****


you've essentially tarnished the poll results, and you neglected to make it public as i had initially asked

wtf is wrong with you

just close and delete this **** now

it's useless to me

 

[Osco316]

good post, bud! it was very entertaining to read

Osco summed it up nicely, imo.
