How do you play?

[40secondz]

No, this isn't one of those 'how do you play' threads that you would respond with aggressively, defensively, ect.

I am asking physically, how do you play Melee?
Lemme explain.

When I play characters that demand high tech skill like fox/falco, I usually lean toward the tv screen, like if I'm trying to focus and not mess up any L-cancels, timings on waveshines, ect.

When I play other characters like Jiggs/Marth/Sheik, I sort of relax a bit and lean back on my couch.

What about you

 

[Bing]

When I play Fox,Kirby or Falcon, Im always sitting Forward, arms are generally pretty tense, dont really take my eyes off the screen during the match(Unless Im at home and need to change the song playing)

For Marth, Falco, Jiggs and Sheik... Considerably more relaxed, sitting back, arms down. etc.

When I play mass-Agro Marth Im generally sitting up, intense-like.

 

[Jim Morrison]

I have an arched back and I rather not look at myself when I play, nor see myself on photographs. My elbows rest on my upper legs.

 

[the_CAM_factor]

i move as much as possible during close games

 

[Jolteon]

I randomly lean forward whilst playing, then I get conscious of how bad that is for posture and sit back and relax.

:king:

 

[azianraven]

I move my tongue alot if i'm playing fox. Sometimes my tongue points in the direction I want to send my opponent

 

[Varist]

Doubleshine pillaring with Falco makes me do angry **** with my mouth.

 

[:Tally Hoes]

I take everything out of my pocket(same when I drive) take the chair to the left with first port with a tv near eye level or at. When i start i don't normally lean forward but i jolt whenever I tech or am going fast. I lick my lips when i am trying some crazy recovery stuff otherwise i'm still.

I don't have to do any of that stuff it just makes it easier for me to get in the zone otherwise it will take like two more matches straight to get comfort andI don't want to waste anyones time with extra warm up time.

I play as in your face as I can but if I can be link on kj64 vs marth or something i'll gladly camp for 13 minutes and have i love a good rush and campfest if both take thought.

 

[Roneblaster]

Leaning forwards elbows on my knee area. I dont have too many facial things i do, although i know i move my mouth and tongue in certain situations.

 

[JesusSmashesPuffs]

I usually lean forward with me elbows on my knees like a bunch of people, and whenever I get knocked really far offstage I lean my whole body into my di. It looks pretty hilarious, I've been told.

 

[rawrimamonster]

Laid back I dont feel like I play right when I'm leaned forward.

 

[DerfMidWest]

I put my controller in my mouth and play with my eyelids whilst sitting on my head.
Hitting the L or R button with my eyelids is a little hard, but i'm working on it.

 

[oliman]

when its intense and im in the tv i **** my head to the right a lil and lick my lips a ton without noticing and sit there slack jawed. thank goodness im not from the south

 

[DualCats]

When I sit down to play, I usually lean forward slightly and rest my arms on my beautiful thighs. I then eventually lose my first stock and realize that I'm not very comfortable so I sit up straight. Then something inexplicable happens and I realize I'm totally not sitting up anymore by my next stock. I then brush my hair away from my eyes and sit up straight again. Then I start getting combo'd and then holy **** I really need to scratch my ear. Mother of god, why does it itch so much? I proceed to make myself look like an idiot as I fruitlessly try to reach my ear with my shoulder. oh god, I died. I should probably sit up straight again. Then I airdodge off the stage and die. I hope nobody saw that.

 

[Fuss]

Stay relaxed and loose. Getting all tense and **** messes me up.

 

[Life]

If you're noticing the way you sit, you're probably doing it wrong.

At home at least, I shift around a lot because I'm hyper like that sometimes. At tournaments? I wouldn't really know. Probably depends on the chair.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Depends on the chair I'm sitting on. My mood also plays partly into how I sit as well.

 

[ShroudedOne]

I never remember.

 

[40secondz]

I've noticed I may do weird **** with my tongue when I play.

 

[Avalancer]

Shine till I win

 

[Sephy95]

I play in a room, with a tv, and sitting. lol I kid you.

I take every match seriously. Not seriously like OK I'VE GOTTA WIN, I GOTTA WIN! But seriously as in I give it everything I've got in every match. Not doing so is kinda disrespectful. I relax, get at a good angle and distance and just like that.
