Is SFIV a... button masher?

Fighting games always have one fault that is pointed out by nearly any hater-- you can beat even the best of players even simply by pressing the buttons as quickly and as many times as possible.The only fighter I have ever owned was Tekken 5. Sure, it's a great game, but I've been beat by people who simply button mash.I was interested in picking up SFIV (or alternatively, Killzone 2), but I am not sure if I should put down $60-$70 for a fighter that may be just a button masher. Also, I'm not a pro at fighters so my question is, is it easy to do those really cool looking moves that signatures the SF series? I am wondering if it's as technical as Tekken or if it's a lot more accessible.Maybe I'm not really a fighter fan and I am trying to force myself to like the genre. I mean, my favorite fighter is Power Stone 2 but even I know that that's not a fighter as much as it a very fun party brawler. While we are at it, I thought I'd include a poll.

[QUOTE="Ibacai"]Button mash all you want in a noob fight but a skilled played will destroy you if you try it against them,Tylendal

I expected that to be true. I personally found it difficult to do moves in Tekken 5.. is it easier in this game?

Some games are definitely less button mashable than others. Soul Caliber... very mashable. Dead or Alive.... not mashable. Super Smash Bros... not mashable. Mortal Kombat.... mashable.

You can definately mash in DoA. However, just like SC a skilled player will destroy you.
