What are things you do before a tournement?

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

I go get a hair cut so I can see about 3 inches taken off so my hair is normally like 6-8 itches long.

I wash my hands and train a little bit and when I get there I totally fail for the frist few matches then I built up stream and do amazing-decent.

if no one is about to play with me i'll go to training mode and pick puff and 3 luigis set on attack at 999% on hyrule go down to that little door and down-smash them and they will start moonwalking to death.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

I play nothing but the game I'm going the play a few days leading up to the tourney.

 

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

i jerk off.

 

[X1-12]

i jerk off.

This generally makes you play worse as you are less competetive although it may help you deal with stress it means you have less desire to win though

 

[Wenbobular]

Do you have like scientific evidence to back that claim up o_O I don't see where you're getting "less desire to win" from ...
...

I try to get as many friendlies in as possible to stay warm ~_~
Then I try to get a good night's sleep
Eat a good breakfast
Random jank like that

 

[X1-12]

testosterone, pheremones, **** like that. After ejaculating you become less competitive and most male traits are lessened, this includes competitiveness etc

 

[Da Shuffla]

Basically, your typical SAT preparations, as well as not playing too much(Fox) the night before.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

I was wordering if I did things different like I always get a haircut

 

[ERayz]

Before going to a tournament, or any Smash session that involve playing someone better than me, I practice tech skills for about an hour, with both Fox and Falco, so I need much less warm-up.

 

[Kanelol]

smoke weed

 

[DJMirror]

Stay up late and play some StarCraft 2 with some friends in the same room at a friend's house.

 

[KoopaKing123]

Smoke some pot. That always helps me play better.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

Really I don't like pot made me normal for a week till I lost my mind again true story.

but yeah figured maybe some people did wierd things beforehand. like bring pokeballs.

 

[BEES]

I crack every crackable joint in my body.

The ankles, toes, neck are the best.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

I practice with the characters that I plan on using in tourney (70% my main and 30% my secondaries). I then disconnect my controller and set it next to my keys. Then i TRY to go to sleep... I give up after 2 hours and I just go on smashboards...

 

[Zodiac]

I forget what I should be doing and remember after the tournament.

 

[Animal]

i never know if i have enough time to eat right before singles start, or if my pool wasnt called. also i never know if i should stay warm and do friendlies or eat eagiunhjqeqel

 

[run and tell that homeboy]

drive to the tourney.

 

[ranmaru]

Leave home.

I SHOULD go to a smashfest before tournaments (a day before I mean)

 

[Strong Badam]

I jack off.

Then I go get McDonald's omnomnom
and then as my body is fueled with testosterone to recuperate after my exercise, I am pumped & ready to have sex with women play melee.

 

[Rubyiris]

All of my pre-game practice is done the night before. Generally I try to eat something like pasta. I then practice specific things the NIGHT BEFORE. Specifically, I practice fluid movement on problematic stages such as RC, DK64, and Brinstar.

Once I feel I've gotten comfortable with movement, and things like various percentages for various killing moves at various parts of the aforementioned problematic stages, I sleep on it. I don't play any smash until I arrive at the venue, which I then play a few practice matches before accepting any money/grudge matches before doubles.

 

[MintChip]

My friends and I usually get some donuts or something if it's in the morning. We go to Chick Fil-A after every smashfest or tourney, though.

 

[Pi]

I forget what I should be doing and remember after the tournament.

lmao .

 

[KirbyKaze]

I troll the boards.

 

[Cosmo!]

1. sleep
2. buy a gallon of water, keep it with you at all times

 

[Puppet_Master]

I have a smash fest with friends the night before. I don't stress over trying to touch up my tech skills last minute (never works for me). I dont even play my main that often. We just play the game for fun. It helps get rid of my pre-tourney stress and gets me in a fun mood for the next day.

I then jerk off to get my hand muscles warmed up.

 

[mallu000]

Iv' been only in one turney but before that I played at my friends place night before the actual tournament. I dont do any techinal stuff since it's too late to learn anything new just try to keep up a solid game. 95 % of the time I play Mario. Other characters I use just for the lols or warm ups.

I eat and jog a lot the week before. Don't know if that helps my game but at least I doesn't ruin my ordinary daily routine for workouts etc.

 

[Dart!]

hmm...true story i got a bj the night before a tourney and ended up winning said tourney...>.>

 

[Zodiac]

I brush up on my weak points, try to eliminate whatever problem made me lose in the last tournament I entered.

 

[Blade689]

I go to n64 tournaments...... not melee yet. But I figure my rituals would be the same. I play against 3 level 9 computers and set my handy cap to 1. I die way too often, and I never complete a match.... except for once... but I did a lotta janky moves..... not the point. I just like to have the biggest *** whooping possible so I am calm over every death....... I figure if I have no emotion while I loose a life, my opponent can't read my weak points by listening/watching me. And doing it that way, I feel more powerful when I play against people with regular power in my moves, so I attack and combo without fear or retreating.

Other then that, I just play every person I regularly loose to.

Trial by Fire is kind of how I learn everything.

 

[omgwtfToph]

now that i'm in japan, i buy some calorie mate so that:

- i don't have to leave the venue during lunch break and can stay warmed up
- it makes me feel like Naked Snake from mgs3
