Button mashers these days...

[BatChao]

I beat someone who knew how to play button mashing in VF4 before... heehee. Of course, I was doing what I call 'smart' button mashing, which is basically having an actual defense (blocking and such) and mashing buttons when an opening appears... and then after a little bit of mashing and figuring mashing which buttons does what, kinda mash those buttons a bit more. Haha.

I will say, though, that button mashers actually have more of an advantage against a seasoned player than someone who is kinda okay at the game. Because seasoned players look for patterns in an opponent's attack to create an effective counter attack, button mashing can be very confusing due to the lack of pattern.

What's this I hear? "Smart" button mashing? Oh, you are a devious one indeed...

Anyone who try's button bashing with a 2D beat 'em up will lose. I've played many a button basher on Street Fighter game's and they never win.

Most 3D beat 'em ups suffer from button bashing. Especially the Tekken game's as there's no parrying or counter system.

[Project G]

I'm a button basher and proud, we don't bother wasting valuable game time learning moves, we just get on with it

[Xander]

xD I'm so one of those with fighting games, except when people say, wow that was a good move or think I'm good or anything I tell them I'm really not and it's just luck. I can never get how to play those games properly.

[Pheesh]

who cares. if they can win because of button mashing, good for them, except that you lost and shut up. If you can pull off combos then you're just button mashing with style and technique. Also, i know what you're thinking and i am not a button masher as i can do any combo in mortal kombat: deception (even shujinko's ones) and i am a combo master at tekken (i like the faster players like steve and hworang (spelling) because they leave no chance of a counter attack once you start and assault with one of their combo's).

Peace out and :rock:

Are you people implying that I suck...

[Pheesh]

i'm implying that you're making a big deal out of nothing. Let the people enjoy the fact that they kicked a serious gamers a$$.

I hate it when that happens.But to be honest after im skilled with the game I can defeat they easy and laugh in there face.Button mashers always lose.They got no skill.But if they start bragging saying there the best then your rubbish then go off for a rematch and show them there awful at the game.

I find that offensive, I don't lose and as I said earlier, I'm a button basher, but I get practice in with my fave characters. e.g. Soul Calibur 2- Nightmare, I always win

[Dreddz]

You dunno what your doing so if you pull off a good combo and say bet you cant do that.Ill just say do it again.Skilled gamers can whoop a button basher any day any time.
But the people I hate most are people who use cheap tactics.Like in soul caliber 2.My bro uses Raphael ( spelling ) and if he was losing would go and press forward and triangle endlessly till he won. If you know what move I mean then you will know how annoying it is

[Sepho]

Raphael is actually one of my favorite characters, and his quick single strikes are a factor in that choice. If you're a "skilled gamer", you shouldn't have to worry about it, though.

[Shoden]

i can beat many people with basic combos such as kicking and ounching everywhere and when they refuse to near you, you then use a special attack which can deal uber damage ten keep kicking on the spot unless its a timed fight which i hate

i noly button mash in Tekken 3

[Old Manus]

I am a button-masher. I don't have the patience to learn all the moves. Even if I learn one I balls it up and leave myself open to their extrememegadeathomfg attack.

Not to discredit your button mashing skillz but that guy can't play VF. He didn't have the basics I listed. He would have been able to parry your move and then hit you without you doing anything. He would have been able to break your combo after the first few hits when a bit of an opening appeared. I call those the basics. The hard stuff is being able to dodge everything and counter everything. The only time to use the block button is to grab, break a grab, deny slam damage and other things. I could be wrong but it doesn't sound like that guy knows the basics.

You could beat me in that game at the arcade because I can't use an arcade stick worth a crap. I hate them SOOOOOO MUCH!
