I use it like every 3~5 mins or right before a boss or something inportant. If its in Fire Emblem I would say right before they level up so I get the most advantagous stat possible like +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 :).

I'd be dead without it, in platformers. In RPGs and adventure games, I tend to use it mostly in really big dungeons, before boss battles and when I'm uncertain of the outcome in a multiple-choice situation.

yeah, on games that you take outrageous chances, like Fire Emblem arena abuse, it is insanely helpful, rather than restarting the chapter.

I tend to use them when testing a glith I heard about it, but besides that, I try to avoid them as much as possible because it seems to much like cheating.

Saves are like flour in bread. You can't do RPG's without them.

I only use them to save events. Like in MBN 6, I used Save State 10 to save the ending events.After those, I don't use 'em much, I believe it takes out the fun and challenge. (my opinion)Also, I can be pretty clumsy, when I use it, then I forget to delete the .sg files, then I press them after I've gotten so far, and go back to the previous area. D=I hate it when I do that. D=_b0665_

I rarely ever use them. I use old-fashioned saving techinques. The only time I WOULD use them, is if I'm sending a unit in to attack something that SEEMS like it could kill the boss, but then dies...I would use it BEFORE I send them in. Other than that, no, I don't use them much.
