No Button Mashing, there is ZERO skill in mashing buttons. The stick on the other hand, forces you to be more precise in what you are trying to do. I for one appreciate a game where you have to learn to win, work and practice to be good. The online gaming world is pleaged with people that want to win with out putting in the work. Any system that would allow for a first time player to beat a person thats been playing for a while is just inherently wrong, IMO. And with button mashing that can happen.
That's not to say that some people that just want to get in there and Mash shouldn't be able to. Perhep there should be an ARCADE mode. I personally don't see the fun in that, but that's just me... I don't think button mashers should be allowed in general population. LOL
