WTF Is Happening To My Down Input?

[Currency_DB]

As the title implies, my down input goes to ♥♥♥♥ every once in a while and I have checked and doubled check the controller, it doesn't happen to any other game I play just T8

are you using a controller or arcade stick? If you're using a stick, you might need to replace the joystick. I recently had to replace my Sanwa stick because by 'ub' input occassionally just gives 'u'. Not too long ago, same thing happened with another stick, where by 'df' inputs sometimes ignore the 'f' and just give me a 'd'. Took me some time to resign to the fact that it's a stick problem. At first, i thought i was getting sloppy with my inputs.

kinda got a simular thing with my controller d pad.

can try to block lows as much as a want just nothing happens and no problems in other games.

guess tekken isn't made for controllers /facepalm.

I'm using a Dualshock 4 controller

The Dualshock may be wearing out. Dpads wear out.

Try borrowing or using a different interface device and see if the down input continues to act up randomly on other peripherals.

Then report back.

I can try and help with deconstructing the controller and replacing parts- but if that is not your bag baby (Austin Powers) then you may want to grab a used controller from somewhere and test.

I'm having a similar issue. I can't sidewalk pressing down in ranked mode, even in practice while waiting for ranked. It doesn't appear to happen at first, but eventually down down just makes me crouch. It looks like I am tea bagging when I am trying to swr on p1.

I am paying attention to how I press the d pad. If I press it straight down, fast or slow, and not leaning towards the left or right, I am still getting a crouch when I want a sidewalk. I hop off to go to offline practice mode, and the behavior is gone. I can sidewalk fine again.

I am using a DualSense 5, and I got it a week ago. It's not happening on other controllers. The controller and d-pad work fine and as expected in every other game. I think it's another Tekken 8 issue but I don't see anyone else posting much about it.

Are you using the pad connected to a main usb port connected directly with the mainboard?

Yeah, USB-C both ends going into my motherboard. Just tried a DS4 and had no issue. DS5 had it again intermittently, again only during ranked, then I just had a good stretch of an hour of no issues. It being intermittent and not able to replicate it is frustrating.
