Hey, I’m a beginner to speedrunning, and just started running Dread yesterday. I saw a NMG guide on YouTube that included a brief detailing about Double Mashing, but when I tried to do it myself, it was slower than just mashing with my thumb. Maybe I’m missing something? Thanks!
Hi! I'm not a very experienced runner yet myself, but I do double mash. To make sure we mean the same thing, though, you're talking about shooting by using both thumbs alternating, right?
I would definitely say it took a little while to get the timing down. When I started trying it, it was slower than single mashing like you've experienced. After some practice it becomes much easier and faster.
This may depend on the person and hours being played, but the other thing that double mashing can be good for is physical health. I personally feel like I can mash more healthily with two hands. Not necessarily with less energy expenditure, but with less tension and small muscle movements which can lead to overuse injuries.
Also, this is how I learned to double mash. I'm not sure how it compares to what you watched already, but it's pretty thorough.
