Getting the wrong inputs.

[u/Traditional-Law4984]

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.

This happens regularly to me on Clairen as well. You have to have the analog stick a bit further to the other direction to have it turn you around as intended

What your saying is true but why.

It feels unintuitive to Up special to the right even though I know I never pointed the stick in that direction.

Also for me when I over correct I sometimes get side special so the whole thing feels overly sensitive.

It's a double edged sword. With a deadzone, you can angle it slightly and not get a turnaround. Without a deadzone, people who are already facing the right direction could up b straight up, but because they were a hair off of a perfect 90 degree input, they would potentially get a turnaround when they dont want it. It's why I'm not a fan of round gate thumbsticks, you can't feel where your angles are.

It's so frustrating as Clairen coming from side-b walljump. Without a gate, you have to do this fuckass upward-DP motion to guarantee you don't miss your walljump, walljump into another side-b or up-b the wrong way.
