There was a thing in the Golden Sun games (unofficially) called a summon rush where you summoned all the little deity things to win instantly and it's basically this

but mashing A is boring. the better thing to do is spam all of your moves with no reason or direction other than the one your enemy is in.

i fuckin' thought i learned the sekiro system in the first half. got real good at parrying and timing everything. felt so rewarded. ...then i ran into boss fight #2 on top of that castle and wanted to claw my eyes out. gave up and never finished it.

Unironically Witcher 3 is like this. Cast "shield", mash A until shield spell broken, cast "shield", mash A… It's basically a simulator of riding a horse across pretty lands with some annoying combat scenes in between.

Alternative. I brute force my way through the game, then at the end during content clean up, I'll look up the dominant strategy and acknowledge I'm not smart enough to have put these systems together myself.

This is the strategy that got me through 2 Zelda games. Sure there are fancy combat maneuvers but spamming the attack button works fine.

Really intricate combos you have there. Would be a shame if I... learned the simplest good one and then only did that for the rest of the game.

You know, what ever happened to good ol fashioned side scrolling beat em ups? Just a jump button, punch, maybe kick, and just mash your way through waves of enemies, watching their life bars change color as the game progresses and gets harder. That old school shit like Final Fight.
