Soul Calibur strat against button mashers: Mass GI everything then grab.
Arcade button mashing is very annoying. Not just in the sense that the character on the screen is going nuts but also the sound of the guy next to you killing the machine is agonising.
A competant player will know what to do against a Talim or Taki or Maxi player, even if their pattern is unpredicatable because they're button mashing. A competant player wait for the end of the string before following with a quick punisher (Cassandra's 236B is god.) . You come up against me in an arcade, you'd be out so fast..
When was the last time you played Tekken exactly? Tekken 2? Parrying was introduced a while ago. Any half decent Tekken player can prevent against button mashing by backing up or sidestepping. Those who button mash usually do not know how to sidestep, what with being too busy mashing buttons.

By competent, I kind of meant okayish at it. Like, knowing a fair few of the basics, but that being all. And I have no doubt that I would slaughtered by you at it in an aracade!But I'm sure that you're good at it.
I just think that a button basher would tend to have slightly more sucess at Soul Caliber II, than they would have with Street Fighter II. My reasons being, there are none of these aforementioned "fast" characters in it. Okay, there are certainly speedy characters but I don't think there are any who can pull off fairly large combo hits by tapping one button in sucession.
By the way, I am in no way disrespecting Soul Calilber II, I really do think that it's a great game. I'm just saying that I think it may be a tad more "button masher" friendly than Street Fighter II. (or maybe I'm just saying that because I suck at it!
In the game, unless its totally unbalancing the game, then there is no cheap tatic. You play to win, the difference there is that no matter what happened, you win. Doing flashy and tricky combos are nice and i sometimes do them too. But what matters in the end is that you won. If that means implying "cheap" (yet its effective...so what are you trying to say?) tatics to form a "wall" for you to win, then so be it. The other player must break the wall and form a wall of his own either by pressuring or turtling.
<----- Apparently disliked by half of the people in this thread.
Yeah, I button mash, but that's on the rare occasion you find be playing a fighting game. I freely admit that I suck at fighters and most of the people here can probabaly beat me at any one. The only one I'm good at really are the Super Smash Bros. games. 3D are just hard for me (dunno why) and 2D have way too many combos for me to learn, so I usually go down fast against anything. Except if I'm playing with my Fighter-impaired friends, in which case we usually jump around and punch/kick like crazy, pretending we're good.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
Agreed lionx, if it's an effective tactic and one cannot be beaten while using it. Then sure, one shouldn't stop it. In the end, as you said, the result is all that really matters; not how you achieve it. But IS "button mashing" an effective technique, I wonder? If you ask me, in any fighting game, it's only really effective against the "lower echelon" of players.
Umm... I'm starting to think now that if one has trouble with "button mashers", then perhaps they are not as good at the game as they think they are. And instead of spending time frustrated about it, maybe they should be spending that time practising the game instead! Then, come next time, they'll be better equipped to deal with the "button masher"!
There you go, a possible solution if "button mashers" annoy you!
chaos: Let them do what they want. Some times it actally works, so you should let them enjoy their victory. Of course, it can depend on how good you are if you win/lose. I myself have been a total button masher in Tekken Tag Tournament, but other than that, I'm able to plan out moves etc. etc.
Button Mashing i personally think can be effective. For example Tekken games i have little idea how to play, so i mash the buttons like crazy and sometimes a random combo appears...so that sometimes works and i actually won a few rounds with that. A game like Capcom vs SNK 2 however mashing buttons generally do not work as well as with Tekken (especially since moves are more control stick based). So i think it depends on the game itself... However just because it works more often in one game than another..usually(usually) does not out weigh real skill...
Yea i agree with you too, if you lost to a button masher, maybe you are doing something seriously wrong..>_> Start forming new strats, see why you are failing against someone who is just randomly pushing buttons, and most of all..admit that you lost and probably arent as good as you think you are(either that or face the person again seriously). Practice and then rematch, and show him that you improved, and that you are better than before. Why? Because you got skills to be a better fighting game player. Playing fighting games is alot like being Ryu sometimes isnt it?
Yeah giving up his life yeah! I see where your getting at. But please don't think I suck. It makes me think its true
Edit: Oh didn't I forget go here if you wanna feal like ryu...
Look crash, I don't think you suck, if that counts for anything!
If I may add to lionx's good point with an example; I like to think that I'm very good at Street Fighter II. Was I good at it when I first played the game? Was I hell!!! I'm not trying to insinuate that you may be a beginner with fighting games, but I am trying to say that there is always room for improvement. You know, you'd be be surprised at how good people can get at something if they practice. There are people out there who can do superhumanely amazing things in their respective fields. Are they all crazy genius's with special gifts? I, personally don't think so. If you asked these people how they are so good, they would tell you one word; practice.
Crash, I know that if you just put in a little bit more practice, you would be taking down these "button mashers" with ease, combos rolling off your fingers with surgeon like precision! All it takes, is a wee bit o' the ol' practice!
And, also as lionx said, if he does beat you, try not to get infuriated. But accept that he beat you, give credit where it's due and take it with some dignity. You'll feel better for it.
What's even worse is single button mashing in non-fighter games. The inability to press to a button fast enough to keep Solidus from choking Raiden is the reason my brother never finished MGS2 on Extreme.
Las Tekken game I played was Tekken Tag. I've never played Tekken 4 as went of the series after playing Virtua Fighter 4.
