Don't you hate it when button mashers beat you in a Fighter about a couple of times and then they act like their all good and their the best. Damn I HATE it...

What's the point in winning if you're not going to whine about it for at least 5 hours afterwards? :/
Mashed potato > Button mashers.
Don't go thinking I suck now! I can easily learn a combo in SF and KoF...
Button mashers are no threat to me. SNK fighters like KoF require better attention to button pressing so button mashers can't do jack crap.
I especially hate CHEAP button mashers . Like the ones who keep on jum,ping then land with their signiture move "the button mash"...
Or it says something about the player losing to the button masherOriginally Posted by Behold the Void
For (3D) fighters these days, I mostly play DOA3 and Soul Calibur II, and I don't lose to button mashers that often. Every now and then my little cousin will win a round against me in SCII, though.
Oh 3-D fighters no. 'cause in 2-D you can trap some very easily to a corner a button-mash your way..
I hate button-mashers I never lose to them though its just stupid they're mashing buttons like an idiot and then you're schooling them its quite boring.
I find in Soul Caliber 2, button mashing is quite an effective technique with a fast character, and that it can beat a competent player with a fair amount of regularity. Button mashing seems to be more effective in 3-D fighters. What Joel said about the SNK games, which I am yet to play, I find applies to Street Fighter II as well. It's the only fighting game I play, and if someone tries to button mash me, they will get promptly shot down. I find "Button mashers" will leave themselves exposed too often to stand a chance.
If you have trouble against one, try to capitalize on all the moments that they leave themselves vulnerable, and believe me, that is practically all the time. Pick the flaws in their cheap technique, and you will own them. No doubt about it. Make sure skill prevails!

Too much Tekken?
I don't really care about button mashers because I don't really like fighting games. But.. If a button masher beats me, oh well. I'll know what to do next time. Maybe.
There is only one fighting game series that I have played where a button masher stands zero chance against someone who some what knows what they are actually doing. That game is Virtua Fighter. You don't have to be great at the game but if you understand a few things such as half of your characters moves and how to block effectivly, do a combo break and parry a move(the basics in other words) then a button masher will ALWAYS lose to you...as long as you actually try that is.
No other fighting game I have played is that in depth to the point where you only need to know the basics to never lose to a button masher.
