Editor's Note: This is the original master list of mashable skills in MvC2 created by Joo by hand on the DC and PS2 using a programmable pad. I have made various updates as we have found out more data. While Joo was operating without access to game memory, he was able to determine everything surprisingly accurately. The big new knowledge we have is that there are two hidden variables affecting mashing. The first hidden variable is the random number assigned. The game will pick a random number: you need to mash that many buttons (LP/HP/LK/HK) by some particular time in order to achieve maximum damage. For example for Juggernaut Headcrush you need to finish mashing by the time you hit them: that makes it important to mash quickly. The second hidden variable is actually the frame skip. MvC2 frames are 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,12 or so: your possible damage is affected by exactly how the frame skip aligns with the mashing. So in certain combos you would pause the game in order to align that to maximize damage.
