My best is now 130, and I have a video of 116 (when I was a bit worse) Although my method I came up with I use 2 hands though
Edit: YES I finally just got 134!!
I knew my limit was probably just above 130 like 131ish to 135 so I'm happy and will probably just stop now.
I posted a link to this flash game at the other gaming message board where I spend my time, and thus far my 80-85 is actually one of the higher scores there (highest so far is vix with 86, but only a few people there have posted about it). Someone posted their amazement after I mentioned that some people could reach 120. I should tell them about Magnum66's performance
edit: Oh my gosh! It helps immensely to use zero with one hand and spacebar with the other. Now I'm getting 155s and 156s. Like I said before my easy-to-press laptop keyboard is an advantage.
Anyone know ways to improve your mashing? I'm really terrible at it and I think I actually need to learn some for my next run (From The Abyss for Nintendo DS).
The way I originally learned was inspired by a line from the old FAQ which read something like 'Shake the controller'. I started by just shaking the controller, and worked on shaking the controller itself less and my elbow more, which got me from 8-10 shots per second to 10-12 shots. It's difficult to be more specific than that. Ask Frezy. D:
Try to tighten up your entire forearm until it starts shaking. You might notice if you try to adjust your forearm very slightly like this, it kind of bounces back and forth. Put your thumb over the button you need to tap. Your arm is gonna get pretty sore, pretty quickly, but you can last longer if you practice enough.
