Button Mashing: Difference between revisions

* Multiple characters throughout the [[Tales (series)]] have skills that either add hits to combos while button mashing or reduce casting time to spells when doing so.

 

* In ''[[Star Soldier]] R'', there's a mode called "Quick Shot" mode, and the objective is to mash the fire button for 10 seconds, after which your button pressing rate is shown.

* ''[[Darius]] Gaiden'': if you mash the fire button really fast (or use a turbo controller), you can achieve a firing rate much faster than the autofiring rate you get by holding it down. This makes the game go from extremely [[Nintendo Hard]] to somewhat manageable but still annoying. There's even a cheat in the Saturn port that grants this kind of autofire without the need to mash the fire button, and the official [[ROM Hack]] ''Darius Gaiden Extra'' has it as the default autofire. The ''Darius Gaiden'' high score thread on [http://shmups.system11.org Shmups Forum] permits scores achieved with the super fast autofire. Sadly, the ''Taito Legends 2'' version of the game prevents you from firing this fast, even with a turbo controller.

* The game ''Lethal Thunder'' is all about this. Continuously mashing the button allows you to attack and builds up your attack gauge, which powers up your weapon (as well as giving you a [[Smart Bomb]]). Furthermore, you have to do this constantly or else your attack gauge will drain.
