Abit of both.

 

Depends on the game and my enemy.

 

Face me in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and prepare to meet your doom. I know what i'm doing and you better not be a newbie because you're gonna get raped

Well if you're not over nine thousand you shouldn't even try!

 

i fight in fighting games.

 

I know to play so I know what I am doing

Honestly I train first all combos, normal in a player 1 vs player 2 mode with a second player that dont move... Then I practice in CPU oponents and master the combos for duels against friends. My last example was Dragon Ball Z Budukai 3 for the ps2, I am now pretty good in combos and can kick any of my friends ass!!

 

I don't button bash in fighting games like street fighter, Virtual Fighter etc,
its the fastest way to lose, also not as enjoyable as pulling off a combo.

I like to go for combos and special moves but,
I always keep it simple because trying to pull
flashy moves under p[ressure is difficult.

Guilty gear is a hardcore fighting game so its preety difficult.

 

I used to button mash,but now i'm trying to learn how and when to link certain combos and stuff.

 

Buttom mash FTW!!

... yes, I am a RTS player

 

Well if its Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, I REALLY know what im doing. If its something like Tekken which I didnt play as much, ill be bashing away!

 

I know what i'm doing.

Hey Nev, you know my connection isn't good for kaillera, I'll chalenge you again next time.

I didn't like the gameplay on mvsc because any newbie could win just by mashing buttons.

 

With Tekken and SC i know what im doing with mostly of the characters, more or less. In KOF/Samurai Shodown i only play vaguely good with Terry/couple of the samurai people but at Street Fighter is complety madness. Except Sagat, i somehow remember his moves.

 

In Soul Calibur I know what I'm doing, though I don't think when I play, it's all done on auto pilot. In 2d fighters more often than not I will button mash.

 

The Ps2 gamepad is impossible for me . I bought a Max Shooter adaptor and Soul Calibur 2 / Tekken 5 really rock on keyboard ! I do everything much faster and combos are getting better and better ..An arcade stick would be nice

 

I dont Button Mash. I learn how to do custom combos on GG

 

thumbs up for you.

 

I close my eyes
in defensive mode
make your moves
cos it will be your last
as I hurl you into the air
and beat you up
like a pizza dough
with my customize
chain combos
you drop like a fly
from a hero
to a bimbo
aye

 

I selected Both

 

I also use both

WTF??!

 

I plain suck at combos but I dont button mash. I do combos of my own single attacks and it usually works. Like in DBZ I would make my offensive attacks and defense the best and try not to get caught in a combo. I could hold my own against the best.

 

I tend to do a little bit of both, of course it really depends on the game.
In SFA i use combos, while in SC i tend to button mash.

 

I bought a Dead or Alive 4 Controller for the PC, it's an XBOX 360 controller, but it plays nice for MAME, some emulators don't like the fact it uses the "hat" controls for the stick, but I can use joy2key to use the controller.

It's nice for arcade games, particularly fighting games.

 

I thrash and strive to figure out some combo, then I use combo once I figure something out XD
(old key board for thrash on PC/controller on console; new ones for combo )

 

I never mash buttons and I hate when someone mashes buttons on my controllers
