Double posting, skill or no skill?

Me personally, I think if you have to double post, you have no skill at forums. But then I was thinking to myself that if you can double post in your first 3 posts then you are pretty stupid. You know what I mean? Tell me what you think.

Yes, I agree. So do most people.

Button mashing is no way to go about the game. There is no skill to it.

I can beat Exciting Hyper Highspeed Star with my eyes shut if I mash. It takes no skill at all.

skill is in accuracy - which is why most people ask for how many goods/misses you have rather thatn your score/combo

Re: Button mashing, skill or no skill?

Chickendude brings up a point, but there are some songs like Balloon Fever that are tougher to mash than others. Because they have less notes at one time, you have to narrow down what buttons you mash, thus taking skill. If you don't, then you lose the level, and you fail at mashing.

Basically, there is a SMALL degree of skill, but mostly, it's skilless. Anybody can mash, it takes a small amount of skill to mash well.

Double posting takes no skill by the way.

EHHS mash... Legendary.

Re: Button mashing, skill or no skill?

i can probably mash fc on ehhs with one hand, mashing pants fc would take more endurance.

Let me put it this way...

In regard to combo, the goal is to hit the target. It doesn't matter where.

Since the target is moving, let's just say it's a fast-flying bird of some sort.

Normal play - Rifle
Mashing - Long-barrel shotgun

Tell me which takes more skill to use.

That being said, I rest my case.

I use a baseball bat. I have no speed but when I hit 'em, I hit 'em good.

Ooh nice example. I'll put another one based on yours, Kent.

Re: Button mashing, skill or no skill?

I got my ehhs aaa by mashing with my eyes blindfolded using only my right hand.

It works.

Re: Button mashing, skill or no skill?

Baseball goes right through raquet and hits catcher in the face unexpectedly. Nice try.

Mashing full combos is a skill.
