One of my best friends says that Smash Brothers is a button mashing fighter, does this mean he knows nothing about the game?
I mean, I don't even think SSBB is like your average fighter. The goal is different, there is no health meter, just a damage percentage. The goal is to knock the FUCK out of the other players from the stage.
Although he hasn't played SSBB yet, he's played other Smash Bros. I think he played against skilled opponents before sitting down for several days to find out how to really move and beat some ass.
I myself never owned a Smash Brothers game, I just played extensively against a friend that did own it and I got my ass handed to me every time. Button mashing didn't work.
After I purchased and played SSBB with a buddy from mid-afternoon till 7 in the AM, several days in a row, I finally found the true beauty of Smash Brothers. At first we mostly went through Co-op on the Emissary, which there is still shit I haven't completed, we both knew how to work together. Then we would fight each other, usually on the Final Destination stage, and he would beat my ass into the ground. Then I learned more play mechanics. I've become really good with Snake, Ike and Pit. He's become good with Snake, Marth and Samus. We would sometimes max the stock and just practice stuff on each other, then really fight.
Whenever its Snake vs Snake its like the fight of the universe (especially since we're huge MGS fans).
We both agree that our friend is a dumbass and are debating if we should put the beat-down to him in front of his family.

Yeah good idea, hurts like a mother fucker but doesn't leave a mark.
So I would say it's a button masher. That doesn't mean that there's no technique to the game but most fighting games are button mashers.
Yeah I said it...come get some.
Bitch! I beat yo ass! Where my pimp cane...
Some people think that Virtual Fighter is not a button masher, some do.
Some people think that? Wow, that game is hard as fuck.
Just because someone says a game is a button masher doesn't mean it's easy!
If you play me on Dead or Alive 4 and "button mash" I'm going to kick your ass.
But if you do it against someone who's not as awesome as I am, then you could very possibly win.
Anyone who thinks Virtua Fighter is a button masher should be shoved off this mortal coil. There is no way at all anyone can win a Virtual Fighter match by button mashing unless facing another button masher. The combos just don't work like that.
DOA4? Shit, I'm so bad, I got the "lose ten matches in a row" achievement! I'm bad, I'm the baddest mo'fucka in the world. Did you get that achievement? Didn't think so.
I'm gonna hurt you with my pimp cane one way or another, Krypt!
Fixed.
I've had many Smash Brothers nights recently that went into the early morning. One time pizza and soda was involved. Papa's Perfect Pan with pineapple and ham. *pause* eats half a slice, takes a drink *unpause*. Beer will likely be involved in the next night.
I actually haven't stayed up all night playing a game since MGS for the PS1.
Not that I support violence or anything.
I don't know. I think that if someone closed their eyes, there'd be a strong chance they continuously walk off the platform and die (or fall through a pit and die, or get eaten by a giant monster and die, etc.) The platforming is as much a part of the game as the fighting.
Most people call it a button masher because it's relatively easy for a non-player to jump in and kick some ass and sometimes win against more veteran players. Whether that has anything to do with luck, items, etc., I dunno. But happens more so than in other fighters I think.
I definitely see his point, although I disagree with him, as you do.
This is true, I forgot that you can just walk off..not that I've done it or anything.
