any of you have weird habits while playing?

Re: any of you have weird habits while playing?

My feet both tap the ground fast when I'm getting to a part I know is challenging, like I need to get nerves out or something.

I never have noticed it while I play, but all of my friends that have seen me play start cracking up because they say I play with my mouth wide open and I never shut it. One time I did accidentally drool on myself though, and I realized that they were right.

I swish the saliva in my mouth while I play and I don't even realize it until a silent part comes up.

I forget (or refuse) to breathe in hard parts which makes me light-headed.

Weird habits? Uh...whenever I try to AAA a song harder than diff 4, my right thumb subconsciously interlocks itself with my left thumb while I play (since I play spread, this makes it pretty difficult to concentrate). I also realized that it aids tremendously in FC'ing jacks.
Do anyone else's thumbs mysteriously interlock while playing?

I also have a tendency to hit the Ctrl key (with which hand, I'm not sure) on harder songs. That's why I switched to X C , . layout: it doesn't cause any effect. Ctrl + L does, though; that's why I don't use A S K L layout.

I have the same problem, but since I use QWOP, I end up hitting the Caps Lock or Tab buttons.

Re: any of you have weird habits while playing?

When I'm trying to FC songs that are harder for me, or AAA some songs, I'll end up holding my breath until I either miss or finish the song. If I miss, when I let out my air I call FFR the first bad word that pops into my head. ^_^

Also noticed that I tend to move my feet around a lot while I'm playing, but thankfully it doesn't mess me up.

Last thing is when I'm playing for a while or focusing completely on a song, my eyes start to refocus and everything around the screen gets dark. That happen to anyone else? >_>

Sometimes when I play staircases I start swaying side to side in my seat to them...

Re: any of you have weird habits while playing?

My hands form a sort of claw thing. My fingers curl up forcing me to hit the start key a lot. I've removed it from about 4 keyboards that I've played on through the years.

Also I tend to get unbelievably angry, much more angry than I get at anything else it's pretty ridiculous

When I'm playing FFR I zone out big time, and think about random things.
I hit the arrows completely subconsciously. Sometimes this helps, sometimes it hurts.

I tend to masturbate while playing.

I do this too me and llama llama were talking about this it's so wierd how you can completely zone out, maybe watch the tv from the corner of your eye, not notice at all, then zone back in and notice you comboed the song.

Not just that. I'll be playing a VC song and when I snap back to reality I'm like, "Wait. Did I get a good? DID I GET A GOOD? My score ends in 50/00, but maybe I have an even number of goods! THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!"

Then I get a good from the pressure and blackflag the song.

Re: any of you have weird habits while playing?

I don't use my wrists when I play (maybe I do, but not as much as most people do). It's weird, I use a muscle in my back more than a muscle in my arm. It's why I can play for hours of hard songs without really tiring out at all.

Re: any of you have weird habits while playing?

I make weird faces, especially when hitting jacks. I squint during long 16th streams, and I usually bob my whole upper body up and down in sync with jumps.
