    the trick is to tense your arm up to the point where it starts to vibrate
  • In NES Tetris there's a technique called Rolling, which isn't unbelievably hard, and those who've spent some time to master it can consistently mash over 20hz.
  • I love that your old videos are getting recommended now (maybe because of that amazing Jan documentary you made) . These are such underrated gems.
  • I grew up with MGS and that torture stage made me develop this kind of skill

    love your videos, relatively boring information presented in such a fun way, you get hooked

    A two player button mashing competition... Did you mean... Minecraft pvp?

    my favorite video from the video essay mixtape! Thanks for uploading separately

    If you remember "track and field" for nes, they already made a 2 player "mash" the button the fastest games a long time ago. As well as the mario party series of games... they all have variations on this mechanic as a form of competition.

    Can't wait for battle of bikini bottom rehydrated
  • i play simple games like this all the time with my students(elementary). they love it, if you go to the timer you can play max hits where you hit the flags on the timer as many times in an agreed amount of time. another game is hitting the start and stop on the timer twice to get a single fastest speed. (usually only milliseconds). and the last one is where a student hits the start button and tries to stop it exactly at a given time like 3 seconds. -in addition you can play this with your eyes closed.

    Of course all the most based youtubers love rhythm heaven. First Jan Misali and now I see you talk about it too
  • I'm able to cap out at 11 clicks a second, pushing in those extra clicks are pretty tough. Funny enough, the technique he uses is the same as mine. You strain your thumb and index finger together, then tense your bicep. With enough practice you can get clicking pretty damn quick.

    I remember him from Game Center CX (Season 1 episode 5). He shows up and helps Arino with getting the bonus at Star Force.

    Pretty nice video, will keep an eye on you, your voice is really satisfying btw.

    This is actually super common in Minecraft. Within 1.7/1.8 pvp (Earlier patches of Minecraft) a decently big part of it is vibrating your arm like he probably does, to click as quickly as possible. This is a bit tougher though cause you need to aim along with it

    To get astronomical scores in Track & Field in 89, we used to put a comb between the two buttons and rock it over the middle finger of one hand while tapping it with the other.

    I can consistently get around 15-20 clicks per second on a mouse, when jitter clicking.
