Is too much Smash possible?

[fatmactk]

I didn't think I played too much smash but this survey made me think twice. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/teng1
They have a pretty solid website too and it looks like they just started a little while ago. What do you guys think?

Meh. Gaming addiction is not a problem IMO.

Its more of a hobby really so no. Although if you know your playing TOO MUCH, then it would best for a short break. I believe everyone needs one now and then.

 

[Le vieux lapin]

Too much is absolutely possible. In the training before a tourney one can often get jaded from from the
game by playing it too much, it starts to seem like a chore and can really interrupt your life. Just like any
other game, limit the smash bro.

What Chris said. I mean, too much anything - let alone Smash - depends on the player, but if you see that you're getting bored of it, or your skill is starting to slip from overplaying (which can actually happen), then it's a clear sign to put the controller down for no less than a day... or at least play another video game in the meantime.

I find the best way to improve is to smash my face into the metaphoric wall for hours on end a few days in a row, then take a week long break. When I come back, everything seems so easy and I have no idea how I failed so bad before.

I don't really get how it works but it does and it seems to fit with what you lot are saying.

I agree with both Chris and Sol Diviner. I guess what a person calls "too much" varies from person to person. When they reach that point, they should be able to take a break from it or possibly stop it altogether by themselves. I've heard about people who don't reach that point though...

 

[Sephy95]

I'm one of those people. Atleast so far I am...

Here is how you know you play too much smash:

You get angry when you have to stop playing smash.

When I first saw this thread, I was like "no way", but then I physically strained my arm playing mario party 3, getting my out of school for two days with intense arm pain.

Too much video games isn't just a possibility, it's something to be feared.

Too much?! Not until the eyes bleed!
...if you start to fizzle out, its probably time to step back. Im not sure
about the average gamer, but 6 or so hours of non-stop will put me OOC
for a couple days.

 

[FoxBlaze71]

6 hours? I played 20 hours on Christmas break last year, xD.

Did I mention I was exhausted for about a week after that?

 

[RaqTasmeneth]

Idk. When me and my friend get our peach/fox matchup on we don't stop until
we bake ourselves.

 

[Lucario1337]

it can be to much imo. 5-6 or more a day is bad

 

[Deleted member]

Of course. Too much of anything can be bad.

 

[FoxBlaze71]

NEVER! Who gives a damn if your hands are twitchy and cramped and you can barely see?

 

[Cleod]

Too much smash? Just makes you better at smash
