Hrmmm you probably have sucked at this game
quite the opposite actually I was able to master it in the arcade on 5 bucks worth of quarters.
As said the only skill is if you can mash the buttons fast enough really, not saying there isn't a bit more to it but not enough to make it a "great" game at all.
