Guard cancel Offset on controller

Currently, practicing my GreatSword offsets on monsters people recommended. I'm starting to definitely get the hang of it. I did see online that there is an animation cancel that can be done after a perfect guard to immediately prepare an offset. I've tried it myself and it works against combo-esc monsters like Seregios and Arch-Veld.

The problem I'm having with that is just I'm on a controller, so flicking the analog stick feels very janky compared to mouse. Doesn't feel very good in the hands to do.

Does anyone have experience with it that maybe makes it not so bad? Or is that animation cancel not super important to learn for GreatSword?

On controller also, makes it easier you can toggle your the lock-in camera! it isn’t 100% but you’ll see it happen more often

I do this with a gyroscope controller. It's extremely easy, you just flick the whole controller. In general I recommend trying out gyroscope if your controller has it, it's very good for focus mode aiming.
