Remember Famicom shooters when there were many illegal rapid fire controllers and Takahashi Meijin? Remember testing your shots on the Shot Watch seeing how many presses in succession you got? Would you rather use the rapid fire controllers or simply button mash your way through a game?

Rapid Fire Hold or Button Mashing?

Button mashing gives you that feeling that you dictate the frequency of bullet fire, not a predetermined one by the game. Of course, your button mashing is still usually limited, but it's a nice psychological benefit, right?
Mashing is more fun. Nuff said.
I think it's better when there's both - automatic rapidfire for when you're tired or lazy, and manual rapidfire - so long as manual rapidfire can outperform automatic.

In Game Center CX for the DS, in the Star Prince missions, Arino orders a rapid-fire controller you activate with Y. At max, you get 16 shots on screen, a nod to Takahashi Meijin.
