PSU... Better than PSO!?

[Orphen]

You sit and mash the attack button over and over and then occasionally use a photon art which is just a flashy attack. How is that any better than PSO's combat system? You dont even have to try to time combos because they're completely taken out.

That actually drove me nuts. I spent time and time again trying to combo by hitting the x button 3 times, no more...to no avail. What got me even more irritated was that if you repetitively mashed too slow, your combo slowed down, or completely stopped.
To this date, (I am not entirely sure the reason why, but it may have been repetitive button mashing.) I have a controller that presses start, left, R2, and X whenever you press the X button. Needless to say, had to buy a new one.
