How do you TT?
06/23/15 at 01:04:14

Where do you play?
When do you play?
What position do you play in?
Do you have any weird routines before you play?

For me personally, I like to wash my hands before I TT. I play laying down on my bed with my 3DS tilted slightly downwards so the hinge doesn't flop around. I also play with the volume up about 50%-75% (it helps me with the start boost) Brightness set to 3, wi-fi switch off because it is a big distraction and 3D off for obvious reasons lol. I usually play late at night (past midnight) because it's more quiet but I usually leave the light on. In between runs I rub my thumb on my pants for better grip. I also swear a lot and say some pretty nasty things when I get frustrated Roll Eyes

What about you guys? Smiley

Personally I play in my room.
I play 06.00pm to 7.20pm and then 8.15pm until 8.45pm.
The position in which I play is a revolutionary position I know ... The method to put your 3DS on my desk, sit down and play the console on the table without holding in my hands. Wondering how do I position the fingers? It's simple ^^ I put my right thumb on the "A" and my right index finger on the "R" button. Turning to we now cover "dirigier" I put my index finger and my middle finger on the joystick and my ring finger on the "L" button to use my items.

I start by training quickly the track I'm playing... Usually I improve by a bit, then I watch WR, learn strats and improve much more...

I like to play in toilets or in my bed, the most of the time in the evening, I don't put 3D like everybody I think, and I put the sound at 50% normally and the lowest possible when I'm supposed to sleep (cuz im a thug you know it yourself bruh)

I also have sweaty palms so I have to wipe them between each tries Smiley

I usually play on the couch or sitting on the edge of my bed. I play on the toilet too, but I've never made any really good times there, I'm usually distracted by the reason why I'm on the toilet lol Wink

The position I've gotten used to sitting in is bad though, but it's the only way I can PR. I have to have my hands resting on my knees while I'm playing, which means looking down all the time. It's bad for my neck, and after being in that position for a long time I sometimes get cricks in my neck...

My left thumb goes on the circle pad, left index on L. Right thumb on the A and right index on R. This is how I assumed most people played, but apparently not.

Wow, that sounds like a super awkward way to play Shocked

Also, one thing I forgot to mention: if there is any speck of dust on my screen I will wipe it off. Otherwise it will bother me and make me fail runs, guaranteed. I guess I have OCD...

I sit on a chair or sofa. The position of my back may vary, but I think I'm better when my back is straight.
I usually play somewhere between 2:30pm and 9:30pm. My playing sessions’ length vary between one hour and 2:30h.
I play with full volume (the louder the better, and it isn’t even loud lol). 3D distracts and hurts my eyes a bit, haven’t turned it on for a long time.

There's something I do which I think a few people do. Before I start TTing, when the track loads after restarting and during the countdown (mainly in the first 15 minutes of play time) I swing my left thumb left and right on the circle pad quickly, just like when charging MTs. The point is to heat up by thumb. Sure, finger speed isn't very important in this game, but I think it helps a bit.

I also put it this way... how do most people do it, then? Huh

First pic too ^^

The days, I TT from 6:00pm to 7:30pm (or more)
And the Nights, I TT from 9:00pm to 0:30 (or more, dependings on days)
I TT the days with luminosity set to 3 or 4. And 3 or 2 during the Nights.
I didn't put the 3D obviously and I put the right thumb on the A button, right index on R, left thumb on the "Pad", and left index on L (like almost all players here)
I play with quiet volume the Nights. And the days, I TT with volume to 75%.
TTing the days on random places (oftently while watching TV) and on my bed the nights.

Simply because when one takes a sheel or other item or even when we fail the music changes a little and annoys me more than anything ^^ Yes I do not hide that I rage when I foolishly fail.
