How many hours a week do you play smash?

[dude225]

If it isnt too much trouble, could everyone post a rating of yourself (1-10... 10 being the best), and how many hours a week you practice or play smash. ill go first.

i give myself a 6 and i play probably 6-8 hours a week. thats on occasion tho, since my friend has had my game for almost a year.

im trying to figure out who many hours someone who rates themselves highly (8 or above) plays the game.

I give myself a...2.5; 3 - 3.5 hours a week because I'm reluctant on finding a main yet -_-;

I'd rate myself between a 5-6 out of 10. I can do most advanced tactics fluidly, but my mindgames/approach sucks and I lack experience. >_>

I probably practice 10 hours or less a week. If there were people in my area with decent skill I would play more, since practicing techniques against level 1's can only take you so far.

I'm not an expert on counting on how many hours I play,but I would say maybe 8-9 a week.

 

[Evil E.]

I play just at least about 7hours a day soo...

Like 49 hours a week

yea i have no life....

I'd rate myself an 8. And Smash is the only game I play (Day of Reckoning sometimes) and I play about 3-4 hours a day. But it varies every day so I guess...25 hours a week?

Well rating yourself is pretty hard I think but I'd say about 5/10. If I were to go to a tournament with reasonable competition, my feelings tell me I'd be in the middle somewhere. My advanced techs are fine. Mindgames are fine but lacking experience and matchup development. For a good while I practiced 3 hrs a day to do tech stuff. Takes time but after only 2 months I can say it's definitely been worth it.

Hey how do you get that cool sig 56k? And who plays Game & Watch? lol

Something else I forgot to add. The smashers who are top prolly don't play as much as we all do but they already have several years of experience behind them. I understand that Ken doesn't even play much anymore but he doesn't have to. What has he left unaccomplished? Granted this isn't true for all pro smashers but it takes time and dedication. What I mean by that is seeking out those who are better and losing and learning from them along with your daily routines.

I'd give myself a 3 or a 4 because I only play at friend's houses or at school.

 

[Tundravalco]

i play about 35+ hours a week >.> i love smashing.

You can find it in this thread: http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=82986

Lol I play G&W, what can I say I'm a strange fellow. *coughimonyoutube*

I think it's kind of hard to link a player's skill or rating with how much they play. Experience against advanced players and in tournaments matters a lot. I used to play for several hours a day with Ganondorf. The problem was, I played by myself, 5 stock, on Battlefield against level 9 computers. I was basically a noob but I thought I was so good lol. At that point, I'd rate myself a 1 or 2. Then I went to a smashfest and got owned. That's when my tourney and advanced experience started. Now I play less often, but I go to tournaments and play with people often, and I'm definitely better.

EDIT: lol I changed my sig so um yeah XD

 

[teeman92]

i rate myself 4.5 , i lack advanced moves(except l-canceling and teching), usually my finger spaz out sometimes( when someone is near me.i try to roll,but it wont let me) ,

i only play 30 mins a day or beat classic on very hard

 

[kerploplesteesh]

7.11235 i play approx. 10 hours a week with friends and practicing advanced techniques together.

 

[BlargCow]

about 21 hours a week, i'd rate myself a 6 maybe

 

[KevinM]

So this thread is just.. brag about how good you are while having little to no tournament experience and then talk about how much more you play the game then the next person?

 

[Endless Nightmares]

*gets defensive*

I've been to plenty of tournaments, and I place right in the middle every time

All the cool people do.. Like me

self ratings are hard to give. Is the rating relative to everyone in the world, or just the people that know what they're doing?

 

[Endless Nightmares]

Yeah good question.

I think I overrate myself lol. If I'm G&W I'd say 9. Other characters, 5 or 6.
