    What is mash?

    I am trying to escape through the jungle and that masked guy jumps down on me with a knife. It says SPACE MASH. Nothing works. What is MASH?

    Short for continually tap the key. Devs like to try an d be smart sometimes and key mashing is all the rage now because it's somehow more interactive.

    Mash is the same as bash here in the uk, well, i have been using that lingo for quite some time, mash it up, bash it up, button/key bashing FTW. Also, we have mash potato, or mash is spuds, hahaha.

    Thanks guys. I have done that over and over and still get stuck with that knife. I'm even on the bloody 'Easy' level to start.
    Hey, I bought this game on e-bay out of England for about a third of what they are trying to rip off here for Christmas. I'm glad I did because I;m really starting to wonder about this.

    it means "rape your spacebar key repeatedly, like there's no tomorrow" (and "like you're using a gamepad").

    seriously whats with people not getting these quiktime events , its the eisiest quiktime events ever in a game either hold space or keep tapping (mashing) space
    seriously guys its not that hard ><

    the only reasonable hard quiktime encounter is the last bit with knife fight but seriously if you just press what it says on the screen your fine ><

    That means for whatever reason it's not registering when you hit the key. Did you rebind? FC3 has issues with recognizing keys if they are remapped. For me I couldnt get out of the jeep in the beginning because of this. I had to reset all my key bindings to default, get out of the jeep and then set them back. Anytime my buttons didnt seem to work it was always because of a keybind thing

    Genesizs, It's extremely easy for people like yourself who know the meaning of " MASH " , and can get through an area such as this, without any difficulity. However we might not all be as smart as some seem to imply they are, so why is it so difficult to respond in a helpfull way, rather then critisize those who are experiencing difficulty getting through something like this. For your information, I purchased my first game consol more then 32 years ago, and up until a few days ago ( in the same place ) I also had not seen or used the word " mash " in this type of situation before. So rather then take it for granted that everyone should know how, why not be more considerate and helpful for those who are having trouble.

    well you got a perfectly working brain ... or dont ya ? ...

    i mean after 3 - 4 retry's and pressing or holding space isnt working maybe its safe to say to work on another tactic maybe repeatedly pressing space ..

    i mean seriously you dont have to be smart to figure these kinda things out yourself ... lol guy

    I am not a native english speaker and I have absolutely no Idea what mash means. Yet I never had any problems because my brain is so incredibly developed that it is able to analize the complexity of that enigma within a riddle. If you hold it and it doesn´t work then I have the ability to figure after the second time that I might have to tab it.
