    Anybody got any remedys or concoctions that work. After playing all weekend and some really tough matches (for me anyway) last night my thumbs are N U M B. I have a little feeling in them but I think their bruised to the bone for crying out loud.


    That aside, anybody else wanna play I'll be around all week! =P~

    My thumbs have an imprint of the face buttons on them. I just give it a nights rest, and its all good. :)

    I have a strained thumb as well. I am withdrawing today from all matches, haha. I seriously need to rest my thumbs.

    In fact, my character's name is "Numb Thumbs"

    My thumbs are alright :D I have played through the regular game twice, and about 100 match's on live, and I am still good to go :!:

    i find that it's not that you play too long, but press too hard. in all my years with atari, nintendo, all the way up to now...... pressing softer and using the fattest part of your thumb helps immensly :) i've barely ever had thumb issues
