Button mashing: Difference between revisions

''Smash 4'' button mashing works slightly differently compared to ''Melee''. The buttons cannot be used in conjunction with the control stick to decrease the amount of time spent immobilized. Addtionally, alternating buttons such as X and Y when both are mapped to Jump by default would be counter-intuitive, since the inputs are very likely to overlap with one another; however, alternating buttons mapped to different actions remains the most efficient method to button mash, as pressing multiple buttons at the same time still only counts as one input. As for the control stick, simply rotating it will assist better in breaking free than alternating two directions at once, making it easier to mash out with the control stick than in previous games. Efficient button mashing generally works better than control stick rotating, but the latter is slightly better while the character is stuck in the air (either while escaping the buried state or after {{SSB4|Yoshi}}'s [[Egg Lay]]), as it prevents a character from blindly attacking or dodging during the attempt to mash out.
