Certainly they were very fun times, but as you say i never lend my controllers because the ones used for "our tournaments" always ended up completely destroyed, fortunately some of our friends had conections with some sellers so they got discounts when buying game related things, i was looking for videos to see if someone had examples
for games that required button mashing i found this ones thats is very short:

and this one that has an example with how with a pinching like position of the index and the thumb you could button mash to the victory, showing a mario party minigame example.

This one is what i referred to hahahah, this dude shows a lot of methods or techniques to button mash as fast as possible using all kinds of holdings and finger positions:

i couldn't find one quickly of strange ways of holding the analog and tilting it like a madman, but the concept its the same to those videos you hold the analog in a special way then you shake it or rotate it furiously to be faster in a certain game, then with all that use they will be so used up so fast, they will end up too loose, or stuck, or will have drift/unwanted movement.
