Pressing all the buttons at once, in hope that the character will do something cool and deadly; beginner players usually do this in lieu of actually learning combos. This practice can be surprisingly effective due to its sheer unpredictability, since random attacks are nearly impossible to block. Button-mashing is a derogatory term: it is always one's
opponent who is button-mashing, not one's own self.
