How do you concentrate on smash?

[Sephiroths Masamune]

I know when I play smash and I'm really into it I start making funny faces lol.

So I was wondering does anyone ells do something strange when playing smash or any other video game to concentrate?

 

[Smoke and smash]

I clench my butthole as tight as I can clench it.

 

[TCRhade]

This thread makes me LOL.

Just look at the screen while you play and listen to the sounds...

 

[ru5514n]

I kinda frown a bit and puff my cheeks up slightly, as though I'm saving up air.

 

[starmatrix]

.. I can hear my friend breathing while he's playing.

 

[UberMario]

I tend to make facial gestures imitating what my character feels and sometimes I play as if the gc controller has motion-sensor control XD.

 

[SharkAttack]

Sometimes I'll act like I spectator when I'm playing. If someone pulls off a Bowsercide or something cool like that on me or someone else in a free for all I'll make an "Ohhhhhh! reaction or start a chant. It makes it more fun among friends; especially if they are laughing along. I guess I appreciate awsome Smash manuvers and attacks too much lol; however it really gets me and my friends concentrated on the game.

 

[Crazy_mofo213]

Well when I'm really concentrated on a match I sometimes find myself with my mouth open like a zombie -_-'

 

[sammy p]

what mofo said, and the fact that i do not blink for about 20 minutes straight(seriously) and when i do finally blink, im wishing i hadent because it burns like a B****! :lagh:

 

[Moon of the Strawberries]

I just keep staring at the screen, but if it gets really intense I bite my tongue. To this day I still don't know why.

 

[Mazaloth]

I play with one eye closed when it gets intense. It helps a lot for some reason.

I play with one eye closed when it gets intense. It helps a lot for some reason.

That's funny, I thought I was the only one. I don't close an eye, but I squint when I want to play better. For some reason, it gives me the impression that I'm watching a video of a pro, so I can see spacing wayyy better when I squint.

 

[BBQTV]

i just concentrate

 

[Brightside6382]

lots of adderall

 

[Tamoo]

I leeean forward so much sometimes if im really into it.

And i randomly wavedash to compose myself for some reason, I don't know why that helps

The less visual field, the less I have to focus on. I'm kidding it is only a habit.

 

[condemned_soul]

This may sound silly but I take a "smoke" break and put on a song like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq8wHZD-FEo and concentrate on the game. when i get in the zone i will eventually start fighting according to the song i put on. I am a mario main so techno song are easy to mimic in my opinion ^_^

 

[Pikaville]

I usually lean forward lots too and critique everything I mess up.

Like Ill miss an L cancel and go "**** where the f*** was the l cancel" etc.

 

[sammy p]

lots of adderall

yes yes yes!

 

[Pikaville]

I heard loads of MLG players for Halo etc use it.......bunch of cheaters!

 

[SoldierRift]

I usually start, yelling all the things I failed on...

Then I make a face like my avatar

 

[Aibou]

I leeean forward so much sometimes if im really into it.

I do that too. I also tend to chew my tongue...

I shouldn't have said that should I? :embarrass

 

[Fuelbi]

Well I tend to do better when Im listening to music from my MP3 (more specifically any Metallica song).

But when I get KO'd I yell NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! and then I get my revenge >:D. Otherwise I just have to be sitting down, because there is no way I can play while laying down, impossible. I actually once SD'd myself so many times just from laying down XD

 

[Spoon]

Lol usually I can listen and sing along to music and it won't hurt my game too much... but when I do stuff like moonwalking I make a very odd, distinctive face. haha

 

[Brightside6382]

I heard loads of MLG players for Halo etc use it.......bunch of cheaters!

playing to win!!!

 

[DUB]

I find when I'm leaning forward close to the TV, or standing up, I can really focus in on the opponent. If that doesn't work, smoke.

 

[Zip.]

I usually lean forward lots too and critique everything I mess up.

lol i do this exact same thing rofl

 

[Kantō]

I clench my butthole as tight as I can clench it.

this.

i tend to breathe more slowly and less frequently too, cuz at the end of a good match im almost out of breath ha.
