Street Fighter Burns calories?

[delusional11]

Using logic however I would personally say that the stick consumes more calories just because physical output is higher. But who knows, I doubt it will ever be tested unless it becomes a college experiment or something haha

Well that’s where my opinion differs. Btw with stick, you’re not really using your whole arm - twitching your wrist for the stick and pressing a few buttons (easily accessible on one surface). Pad varies with fingers and thumbs depending on how the user grips it. I just think that having do certain motions on pad, along with not having all buttons easily accessible and the way you have to hold the pad, may contribute to slightly more energy expenditure than stick.

Smh. Go to the gym or pick up a sport if you want to do something with your body. I repeat - playing video games is sedentary. It’s not even remotely close to being a athletic activity.

I don’t think anybody claimed playing fighting games is a GOOD way of losing weight, just that you MAY burn more calories playing fighting games than other types of VIDEO games.

You only use your entire arm on stick if you’re playing on a MAS.
If you aren’t using your whole arm to throw doukens, then you’re doing it wrong.
You might burn calories. Like .5 calories.
You aren’t gonna lose weight/burn calories w/ video games. (Maybe DDR is an exception)
Yeah you use energy when playing, but i highly fucking doubt it’s enough to make you feel like a floppy noodle afterwards.

lol very true

no it doesn’t

get your ass on the treadmill fatty…NOW:tdown:

[Janrabbit]

Point taken, you don’t use your whole arm. I would still say you use more muscles on a stick though…

I think it is at least a bit physical. I guess it’s up to the person’s pad technique, but I recall Wolfkrone saying pad does tire him out after a while, which was the reason he’s been learning stick for I think a year now. It might not burn a lot of calories, but you do spend more energy IN MY OPINION.

BY MY LOGIC, stick players should all be fat - if you read my statement properly the first time round and wrote a proper argument.

Also, thinking does NOT burn calories. Do you even realise how many fatass academics there are in this world?

More weight = workout? You know to lose weight, output must be greater than input. If your girlfriend sat on your lap, and my fat uncle sat on mine, my calories would just melt away would they?

One more thing. If you want to have a logical debate, refute points that are in the statement, not what you want or think you’ve read. And backup your statements with examples or evidence of some kind. Can’t believe I wasted my time reading your post expecting something somewhat intelligent.

Way to miss the point. Thinking does not replace working out in any way possible, stop taking my statements literally. What I meant when I wrote all of that was that your logic is terrible. My teens vs adult argument implied metabolism, sure, but many people’s metabolism never changes.

My argument on the stick on the laps was merely following your logic, because it makes none.

And the point of the thread was sweating, thinking a lot in stressful situations make you sweat, not playing on pad. I’ve known plenty of people saying that pad are tiring. Not because they were holding it, but because the D-Pad causes so much friction with the thumb that it becomes sore afterwards.

I was being purposely stupid to show you how much your claim was retarded. Keep it up, genius.

I made a single statement - which was pad usage may expend more energy than using stick. Nothing more, nothing less.

You obviously missed that or were unable to comprehend it. Your stupidity is clearly evident. Btw looks like everyone else EXCEPT you seemed to get it and posted reasonable refutes that weren’t retarded.
