Timing on dribble moves

[Altolong]

I can't seem to pull off any of the dribble moves, such as behind the back and drive fake. Whenever I attempt them, I just get the normal crossover. Can anyone give me a step by step procedure on what comes next after you press A + direction (drive)? I know that in both you either press A + opposite direction or A + back direction, but do you hold A and press the other direction or release both A and direction and then press A + other direction to perform the moves?

There is a tutorial for every skill in the game, have you tried it?

[Altolong]

I have, didn't work, which is why I'm asking for player input.

For drive fake are you pressing the keys really fast? you need to input the first directional arrow and then the second arrow BEFORE your character even dribbles in the first diretion. You hold a the entire time. Note that at the corners of the arc you need to input directions diagonally, or else it won't work.

So hold A, then press key combination?

Press A, hold A, first direction key, second direction key?

Something like that?

Okay first basic question, where did you try it? Did you already equip the skill when using it?

[Altolong]

@King Pee Hands. Thanks for the tip. I can't do it on keyboard, but I can pull it off by controller.

it's confusing me

For me, the easiest way to dribble and do a crossover is to hold the direction where I want my character to go to then press A. If I want to do a crossover, I hold that direction then I quickly press the opposite direction.

For example, I want my char. to go left then right so I hold the left arrow key, press A then press right. In sequence, it goes like this: A <--- --->
But of course, make sure you equip the skill or else it won't work.

You have to dial-in the combination instead of hit-confirming your button inputs. So instead of waiting for your char. to finish their cross-over animation, you cancel it by pressing another key.

The same idea goes for Back Dribble on SF and Turn around dribble for SG, it's just that SGs require 3 direction inputs instead of 2.

To make things easier, try practicing just left and right cross-overs first. Press A then spam left and right keys. Once you got the timing down, try not to spam the keys and instead, press the directions in rhythm with your characters movements.
