I got a sure fire, knock your pants off solution! Ladies and Gamermen, I give you Pen Click Racing!



Basically you and a friend (or more, multi-player game!) click the top of the pen and the one who gets the most clicks in a given time segment, wins. How do you keep score you ask? Well... iunno, I just invented this game 2 minutes ago.

how you have to really scretch your hand out and close it tightly after you have done a couple you should feel a rush of blood circulating in the muscles

i usually feel my hands getting warmed and adjusted after like 30/40
but it just really improves your flexbility + speed in smash
i always do it before a good melee session / tournament

i didnt used but i got a spazum and it was really painful lol

What I do before I play brawl is go here http://www.metronomeonline.com Hold three pens together in a line (I use tape to keep them together) Then start the stop watch and start pressing the pens one by one per second(a.k.a. 60) Then do one by one every half a second (a.k.a. 120) Then do every 1/3 (180). Once you do that go to 208 and start doing that for 15 minutes everytime before you play brawl. In your case, I would just do it for a long time for days. I did it and I can do that for 4 hours straight from the strength it game my thumbs.

Give it a try, hope it works for you.:chuckle:
