What's the best button mashing struggle you've ever had playing Vidya. Preferably single play because I know Mario party has a lot.

I gave up on my Hard difficulty playthrough of Killer Is Dead solely because the required button mash sequence during the first David boss fight was so extreme it felt like I was going to damage by hand and I still couldn't do it.

I got filtered so incredibly hard by the insta-kill button mash segments in the final battle in Bowser's Inside Story that I took a break and when I came back my save had been wiped. FUCK BUTTON MASHIT

i know I'm getting old because I actively search for the option to turn button mashing into hold inputs.

W101

These are always easy when ylu realize devs set the pace to the first 1-3 seconds you mash for accessibility
Just mash slow and steady the whole time and dont speed up until the end

For me it's the build quality of modern controllers being too shit for bootan mashin.

Nothing beats "press x to protect earth".

I couldn't beat the final boss of The Legendary Starfy as a kid because I couldn't mash hard enough.

I won the mule game in Uther party 99% of the time.

I wouldnt feel bad about it. Its not good for the controller and theh just dont make hardware like the good old days

>>724832164 (OP)
either your pic, sonic unleashed's perfect dark gaia "fight" (the only good part of the second phase, along with the first 10 seconds), and w101's PROTECT EARTH

Never a big fan of mashan, but the clashing against Azel in God Hand was always kino

97% of a good button mash sequence is the music

Not gonna pretend it's massively original or anything but these games always have an eye for spectacle.

Rival fights in general are probably my favorite parts of vidya overall. Especially when the rival has damn near your exact moveset. I fucking love fighting however a developer thinks I should fight (or how the rival would fight). Now I just wish more games gave an extra bonus superboss version of a rival with literally all the moves used in ways only a developer could consider, not meant to be normally "beatable".

Mashtooth fight at the end of The Legendary Starfy used to kick my ass as a kid, the 2nd mashing segment was ball-bustingly hard. I replayed the game recently and realized I must have just been really shit at it or I've improved at mashing now.

>the struggle to press Zeus against the heart of gaia with the blade
>the final screen of red blood that goes onto infinity if you so choose

vanquish has some really good sequences just like that

And of course the hardest one.

I physically can't button mash. Learned it when I tried playing God of War 2005 on the PS2. The first level had a hydra boss where you needed to mash a button to get through it. Didn't matter what difficulty it was on. I just could not get my fingers to do it.

>button mash qte
>characters mash with you

I'm crying for legitimate reasons now

There are no continues, my friend.

>>724837734
oh i didn't read the OP entirely
these are not struggles, just fun button mashing
:(

Even if the base game of Kirby Star Allies was a little dull, the final boss segment was still pretty great, especially with all of the characters appearing to land the final blow

awful game

The test your might sections in MK Shaolin Monks. Sometimes you have to do them while surrounded by ever spawning enemies.

>>724832164 (OP)
the button mash segment in starfox adventures, you niggas don't even know

>>724837359
GoW was pure kino

Stopping the dam from bursting in the Superman game on GameCube is the only button mashing section of a game that actually halted my progress. It was my friend's game and for a couple years there were a bunch of us that would periodically try and fail to beat this level before I finally got it one day. That felt like my greatest gaming feat at the time and I don't remember any other part of the game being close to as difficult as that section. This was all when I was a kid, so for all I know it's not actually that bad and we all just sucked, but I remember it at least being hard enough to make my fingers hurt.

>>724833232
I’ve never been good at mashing so that’s the one accessibility option I actually like.

yeah...
