Basic Q&A Thread

Random question: Loving the game so far, but am having a problem when I try to sidestep (not the normal sidestep, but the one when trails of wind follow your character, forgot what it's called :P ). The problem is that I use a normal PS3 joystick, it works fine when I try it with the D-Pad, but it seems like I can never do it with the normal analog stick. Any tips on how to do this? Or do people use the d-pad for this move?

Thanks, and sorry for the noob question :P

the input should be the exact same. we cant TELL you how to use an analog, you have to built up the simple reaction to do it.
Though Quick Step puts you at a HUGE disadvantage so dont overuse it. unless you know a B attack is coming.

Fair enough.

But why does it put you at a disadvantage? I actually thought that to get better at the game, you have to Quick Step frequently :P

And thanks for the reply.

You can't block until it ends fully. Earlier SC games (stupidly) had much safer movement, so series veterans get caught out where they're not used to there - happens to all of us, lol. It is necessary, like anything else, but knowing when to use it is the key.

Pretty much every mechanic has a direct counter in this game. So a quick step might beat verticals, but loses to horizontals just as bad. The disadvantage comes from a horizontal attack while you are quick stepping.

To get better at the game you'll have to adapt to your opponent. That might mean using quick step frequently or hardly at all.
