Every 5 seconds, in case I die or the system fails.I love save states, they are handy for games that can't save or hardly ever let you save. I save lots.
how often do you use save states?

I use them every time before I enter any major battles. Better be safe than sorry.

It really depends on the game: Harvest moon is like, never; but then in something like Fire Emblem, I have one at that preparations menu, one at the beginning of each turn, and another when I'm about to try something dangerous.

For Fire Emblem, I use it at the beginning of each battle jus to ensure that I don't have go to through the process of choosing the characters i want to use and also the items they are equipped with. However, Even though I save during the game, I only refer back to it when one of my characters die, since I want to end the game with ALL the characters that I have collected.

I save states before I enter a challenge. So, if I'm beat, I can always start over. 8D

Must agree with OP, games like Zero may require help, but I really only use to learn about the game, or to accomplish an impossible feat. I never used when I played Contra 3: The Alien Wars on the zsnes at school. Just took the beating over and over. But I have used on Fire Emblem, to check stat growths and other things of that nature. Or in games with multiple paths, in order to get whole story without multiple play.

Ill be honest...i've used save states in every game i played lol i abuse it. I use it after every single battle in some games. It just makes teh game funner, and i use it when i plan on perfectting the game, collecting all the items etc.
