Trust me it does require skill. Not to the extent of VF4 though.

And the average guy won't naturally be good @ SC. We have had challenges with the original and we all knew how to play except 3 of my mates. We kicked their ass.

*cough*

Any fighting game is a button masher against weak human opponents... and all fighting games can turn into a true battle of skill when playing against experts. I doubt many people here have the "skill" to beat me at Tekken.. and you can call that game a button masher all ya'llz want to.

My definition of a masher is a game where even the most expert fighters can't use a strategy and rely on "luck of the draw" to win. With that said, MK: DA isn't a button masher, SC isn't either, and VF isn't... but out of this list SC2 does have the easiest learning curve imo.

Oh, and by the way... the list in the topic stinks

the one fighter I've played that was really harsh on button-mashers is VF4. I found it frustrating at first, but then I learned the move set of one character and I found out just how deep and fabulous the game is.

VF4 = best fighter I've ever played.

Oh, and as for Karaoke Revolution...I can't wait until we hold our next party...we're gonna rent it...drinks, karaoke, girls...PARTAY. Not GOTY material I would think, though

I gurantee I could beat you at Tekken. I've been playing it since Tekken 2. Whoa. I'm all about that game. I would bust you in the head with my Tekken skills.

lol, I've been playing sense Tekken 2 too... now, if you are talking about playing at the arcade you may beat the hell outta me, but I was born and raised on the PS controler with that game....

Who is your favorite fighter? I'm good with Eddie (even though I hate fighting against him). Paul, Jin (both new and old style) and I have masterd Hehachi... you could only imagine how glad I was that he was on SC2

Pfft I've been playing since the original Tekken. Used to use Law. Now I don't play so much so u "may" kick my ass, depending on how good u guys r.

U play T4?

Btw I started playing fighting games before Street Fighter 1 (on C64). Games like International Karate + and Yiar Ye Kung Fu (loved that game).

Do you all remember the game pro thing.. well I finally got mine.. I can't remember now weither it's a month or what ? who knows

GameMaster · 11-24-2003, 05:19 PM

I think Smash Bros. is a good example of a "skill only" game. You can't button mash your way through that. If you do, you'll receive a harsh whooping.

I played Tekken 1 too, just not enough to be here bragging about it... I also noticed that my Tekken skills were irrelevent come Tekken 3, whole new pace.

but anyways... like I said, it all depends on who you play. Any fighter can be a button masher vs other weak fighters. I hope Tekken 5 is online so I can prove myself

Point is button masher vs expert = expert win
