Button Mashers




Posted by Angerion the Brave

Most people have probably played some game, some where where they had to press a single button repeatedly. My questions for everyone is: Just how fast are your fingers?

A great game to test this in Mario Party 7: the "Pokey Punch Out" Minigame, but there are other games and methiods to do it.

Using the Pokey Punch Out methiod I was able to calculate that I'm able to hit the A button on a Game Cube controller:

65 times in 4.98 seconds
(or, save any thumb cramps)
130 times in 9.96 seconds

So if you've got the means to see your speed, show it off here.

Something in the 130's on Domination in Mario Party 4 (10 seconds) with just the finger. Can't remember the exact number.

I remember this button mashing part in Star Fox Adventures that I just couldn't do. I found a strategy on the net to use the bowl of a spoon and rub it back and forth over the button. Sounds crazy but it worked.

I couldn't imagine that being faster than my own fingers. Link?

I dont remember it was years ago. But trust me it works, its the only way I could beat that part. Luckily though the big A button on the GC controller is where it is, so that you can use the spoon without interfering with other buttons.
