Risky's Boot Dash Update

[blastvortx]

I felt I should say something about this since every tips and tricks whatever I've seen or read on this is a complete and utter lie.

Initiate your run in either direction, then just continue it, running same direction or opposite, however many times you want, just don't interrupt it. Eventually, Shantae will flash and you'll hear the sound cue. That's when you hit [Main Attack] to trigger the dash. Obviously, you can use this to trigger dash in small spaces.

Dual inputs like controller with analog stick and D-pad are completely unnecessary unless you are playing with a controller that has a large, solid and unwieldy D-pad that does NOT allow you to switch back and forth continuously. Perhaps it wasn't this way with the original 3DS game, but I can confirm that the ports, including Nintendo Switch and PC, do not require dual input, just (mostly) uninterrupted back and forth. I don't know why this was never researched properly. It took kme all of a few minutes to check it when I realized what had happened. Lazy butts.

not only does it work on 3DS but people have known this this since day 1.

I didn't know that. I just thought that since people have been lying about this for several years, and still do, that people didn't know. You sure showed me.

I'm attempting to pick up this game for running and cannot get this to work on an xbox 1 controller without the dual input thing. do you have video with inputs cuz this would be extremely helpful, but I may be missing something. Its probably either the ability to press both a left and right direction at the same time on d pad or maybe you have a particular controller? either way, this sounds dope :)

You use both the stick and the D-Pad. So hold the D-Pad right, and keep it held while you move the stick left and right.

Like Melodia said, with the X1 controller you probably still need to use both inputs, as the D-pad is a whole unit and trying to rock from left to right--even "directly" from one to another if using two fingers same hand--however fast, introduces input delay or worse, other input (up, down, etc).

As of yet, I have not been able to replicate this on my own X1 controller. I'm stuck, same as everybody else, with left D, nudge stick right and let go for left dash and visa versa. Keyboard and Switch Joycon (should have specified which Switch controller before, sry)--or any control that features two different buttons for this movement--users have a seriously unfair advantage in this.

I suspect WF had no idea when they initially programmed the game, since you never think that something's gonna get ported to a system that reveals your game's inner workings.
