This is the definition I'm familiar with: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButtonMashing

I was thinking just in general: button mashing means mindless and frantic button pressing whether playing Tekken or Mortal Kombat. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButtonMashing

Any game with close quarter fighting can be a button masher if you want it to be one. Dark Souls can be played by just R1 spamming and timing your dodges.

I suppose that is so. Just not the typical usage of the terms "button mashing" I'm used to...
