Swordsman "Dragonfang Flash" doesn't work

[Mothman]

Hello everyone. Is it just me, or is the Swordsman special move "Dragonfang Flash" bugged? Ryoma only sheathes the katana, and even when moving the left stick (I play with a Playstation controller) and pushing the attack button at the same time, it won't work.

Did you make your attack with the sheathed katana first? Or are you still holding down the trigger while trying to attack?

[Mothman]

Yes, when the Katana is sheathed. I hold R2 for a brief moment, and then doing left stick + Square

Make sure that you do your slash with the katana first and then try left stick + square. You have to do an attack that starts the combo and then you can do left stick + square until you run out of heat.

I will try that. When he sheathes the Katana, I'm unable to attack :(

Bumping this cause I'm having the same issue

As with all RT skills make sure your heat gauge is both full and you have a high enough gauge rank unlocked.

Also some people are having issues apparently with heat draining faster than it should at a fps higher than 60 as per another thread.

Hold R2, release R2 and he'll do the first slash. Direction + square does more attacks as long as you time it right, have enough heat and hit something.

I thought I was crazy, I did it like twice and never again. Hope they fix it.

[Mothman]

it's good to know that I'm not alone with this problem. I really hope they'll fix the Heat deplete issue

[aseinsha]

ha ok so me running the game at 144 fps is the reason why this move is pretty much broke for me... man... RGG... wtf.

[CPU Level 2]

Wow. They decided to 'remake' the game in a new engine but still kept things tied to fps. You'd think they'd have known better by now.

Is this still an issue? Im struggling to execute the move as well

This move is just a POS one to pull off and the in-game instructions on it are bad. Plus, it requires so much heat to do that you don't want to waste your attempts. It's almost the perfect frustrating attack in a game.
