Yup, 8 hardcore players will put 8 mainstream players to shame because get this.......They gots more SKILLS.

While pressing left and right fast is a skill, I would say it's more for DDR like games. And I say that for one reason, your character has no influence on you getting out of danger. If your character can't improve/grow in a way that helps with doing something, it should not have such major part in winning or losing.

BTW, quoted you since I couldn't find the post I was looking for and yours was similar.
