This is more luck-dependent than just mashing punch, but it's at least worth doing when there aren't any monster eggs onscreen. Comparing punching to sliding when both are uninterrupted by eggs, sliding is somewhere between 3-4 seconds faster.
The key to the slides is to just barely tap left+jump then immediately shift to down (to make Rick crouch in midair) then down/right diagonally. For any fighting-game fans out there, I do this as a half-circle motion and just stop at d/f.
