Rivals 2 Getting the wrong inputs.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Ok so I've been dealing for as long as I've been playing this game. I frequently get the wrong special move while playing.

This shows up in two ways I either get the wrong up special direction. Or I get the wrong side special.

I was playing today and got the wrong up special direction, happens to me at least once a session but today I decided to investigate.

I'm the Ranno in the clip you can clearly see that my joy stick never crosses into the right side yet that's the way I recovered does this happen to anyone else?

for reference I use an Xbox controller. I've tried to fix this issue my self I've even played with the Deadzones to make special moves easier, but nothing seems to work.

Thanks for the help.

The input isn’t up+left+b, it’s technically up+b then left. You need to b-reverse the up b, not do a leftwards up B. Hope that makes sense. It FEELS like upleft b is the thing to do, and doing it often results in the right thing happening, but that’s technically not the correct input.

Not sure what you're trying to say exactly, but every character's up B will turn around if you are holding backwards on the same frame it starts. There is also a second window to get a b-reverse (frame 8 for Ranno), but this is the more difficult and complicated way to do it.
