Please add an option to disable mashing

I just got SM2 after beating SM1 for the first time. Even though the controls took a second to acclimate to after being so used to the 2011 ones, this game is astonishingly great in the little time I've had it. Too bad they decided to ruin it with a stick mashing quick time event.

It's one thing to ask me to mash a button. Sure, I feel like I'm wearing out the buttons if I have to do it too often, but I can manage. I cannot abide by developers forcing us to waggle a joystick. Ignoring the extremely anti-consumer aspect of making us brutalize our joysticks when stickdrift is basically a certainty among first party controllers these days, I am physically incapable of producing that motion. The first time I got grabbed by a lictor and I saw the prompt to start swinging left and right, I immediately checked the accessibility options to turn that crap off only to be greeted with a pleasant FUCK YOU. Resident Evil managed to make the change in their most recent titles despite the waggle being deemed a sort of series staple, ensuring so many more people could enjoy those games; why can't this game do the exact same thing.
