# Pressing a button combination that returns to either the title screen or just before.
 
A [['''Soft Reset]]''' can have the effect of leaving [[Random Number Generator|the randomization values]] the same as they were before the restart, whereas a game or system with hardcoded starting values will return to the first string of values on hard reset.

Line 35:
* On the iPad, the only button is a soft reset button.
* Perhaps recognizing the need for [[Save Scumming]] in [[Way of the Samurai]], both the second and third game possesses soft reset methods. The second game requires all four shoulder buttons pressed along Select and Start. The third game reduces it to Select and Start only.
* ''[[Monster Rancher|Monster Rancher 2]]'' has a [['''Soft Reset]]''' by pressing start and select for about 10/20 seconds (to avoid accidental pressings). Since ''[[Monster Rancher|MR2]] is a '''[[Nintendo Hard|very]]''' [[Nintendo Hard|cruel game]] and some things [[Luck-Based Mission|may depend soley on luck]], you'll use this buttons to [[Save Scumming]] many, many, maaaaany times.
* People grinding raid reputations in [[World of Warcraft]] usually use a soft reset found under the raid leader's "Reset instances" button that has a fundamentally similair effect. This would reset all the trash before a boss, letting you kill them multiple times, doesn't work when the boss dies however, because that turns off the respawn timer until the hard resets, when the bosses come back too.
