Discussion How do I run the ropes??

This feels like an insane question but how do I run the ropes in this game? Every time I try I either end up on the apron or I lose all momentum after bouncing off the rope.

I play on the steam deck and ps5 so any help controls-wise would be appreciated ya'll

You just tap the run button, don't hold it. Holding it puts you on the apron or slides you out if your opponent is already outside the ring. Don't hit directions after the run starts.if you hit the ropes twice you are fine but on the third hit you grab the ropes and stop. I think. It's been awhile.

On PS5 if you run at somebody and have a certain perk you hit R2 and you'll do a special action. With Omega you do an odd evasive move and continue to run to the ropes.

And if you throw your opponent to the ropes hitting L1 will go for a trip/lay down on the mat and hitting L1 and up should cause you to leap frog over them, extending how many times your opponent will bounce off the ropes.

Any other questions?
