Button Masher Or Methodical

[Nova]

I was playing soul calibur II today ( :wub: )and I noticed that I am more inclined to mash the buttons to obtain some sort of a combo thing, but I know that's not everyones style, so, what are you, a Masher or a Methodical?

 

[sam fisher]

Mostly methodical but if I am losing and I need any big move to save my ass then I am a masher.

 

[Draken]

Buttonmasher, it takes too much time to learn all combos (and how to efficiently use them)...

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

I learn a few handy ones and keep them in mind. But sometimes I do actually mash.

 

[Draco]

I can never be bothered with a fighting game long enough to make me learn the moves.

Actually there is a method to the madness...

Pros actually kind of mash, and then do nasty combos off the mashing. This is because in order to be able to start a combo, you have to actually hit them first.

Button mashing, because learning combos to the point where you can stop other button mashers from beating you takes a lot of effort. During this time you might know loads of great moves but somebody could just beat you by hitting Y over and over.

I hope you all know that, for perpetual button-mashers at least, there's a hell for them:

It all depends on whether or not I'm serious about the Fighting Game as to what I do.

Button masher definitely... and this is probably why I don't like fighting games...

David, please don't see this as an attack, but you constantly remind everyone of your comic. It's mostly not funny, though I do like the art. Please stop it, it kind of looks as if you're only here to plug your website.

As for the question... I'm a methodical fighter. Mostly. I learn how to use 2 or three characters (usually htos eI like based on the concept, not based on theri fighting style and if it complements my playing style) and play with those, and when I play other characters, it's a controlled mash where I sometimes attempt to use them elegantly.... this was true for Soul Calibur 2, Mortal Kombat: Deception, Capcom vs X-Men, Capcom vs SNK 2 EO.... well, most fighting games actually.

Button masher all the way. The only fighter I know how to play tactically and well is Street Fighter Alpha 2 for PSX/Saturn.

[jmetal88]

I'm a proud button masher.

 

[piemaster]

Mostly methodical but if I am losing and I need any big move to save my ass then I am a masher.

I'm the same if your winning try to use flashy moves but as soon as they start winning bash that button.

Just be glad the leaders of the world aren't button bashers or we'd all be in button basher hell

 

[PSyMastR]

Where's the option for I buttonmash the hell out of a game, until I figure out what everything is, then repeat my favorite moves?

 

[Horscht]

then repeat my favorite moves?

Y+Y+Y+Y+Y+Y+...... ? :lol:

anyways,
<- button masher all the way. Allthough as soon as i found out an easy combo (haiduken) i use that more often.. but hey, almost every fighting game has a down,foward,punch combo.
