Button Mashing
Button mashing is when you press the keys in a non-thought out fashion. One of the most "noobish" tricks, button mashing should only be substituted for actual, thought out button combinations when the player cannot read the arrows or there are literally too many arrows to hit at once (64th streams on all four arrows, for example).
There are three ways to button mash:
- Diagonal Stream Mash: This is where you tap your fingers in either of the diagonal methods, i.e. right up down left, over and over as fast as you can. This mash works best on thick, four arrow streams and on normal diagonal streams.
- Dual Finger Tricep Mash: Using two fingers on each hand, place them on the keys, then use your forearms to provide a rapid "vibrating" mash technique. Basically you can use the fingers together or separate, thereby providing two alternative patterns depending on what arrows you encounter. Alternatively you can use a three and one finger combination, however finding an applicable song may be difficult.
- General Mash: Hit the keys however you feel like. Pound the keyboard with your fist, use a hammer, or maybe have a friend help!
