Cancel Super Dash
Devs, please, add possibility to cancel charged super dash. There are situations, when you are charged on wrong height, and can't do nothing, but look into inevitable doom.

Redundant. You have the ENTIRE TIME it is charging to release it and cancel it. Not to mention hitting jump after it starts also stops it.

Yeah, especially in White Palace. So much time to cancel, and so much space to jump.

Just jump immediately upon releasing. Or if you're on a wall, jump/dash back. You may be able to save it if you're quick.

can't you cancel it by pressin the button again mid flight? maybe i'm thinking of the wrong move

You can! Hit the jump button in midair.

He's just complaining because of 2-3 points in the White Palace where you have to position yourself correctly while sliding down a wall before doing it.

In short: he needs to GIT GUD!!!!! Lol.

I think the OP means a way to cancel the dash once it's charged but before you've actually begun it. This was a little niggle I had too, but as mentioned above, you have a while to release the charge button before it locks you in if you think your positioning is off. It's not perfect, but it makes the problem a pretty trivial one overall.

In all seriousness, it would make sense to be able to cancel it with a simple slash.

...........but then again, it would have made even MORE sense for you to be able to do the same with a normal dash, but with a unique animation so that you can't use dash/cancel attack/dash/cancel attack etc. as a way to break the game and attack at super speeds over and over. Yes, I know about the charged dash attack which I rarely even use. It's awkward charging a button, while moving the pad and hitting another button to dash. I have no clue what they were thinking there.

This. That ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ saw blade tunnel. You have almost no space above the charge spot to time whe nyou begin the charge. and if you launch your dash and immmediaately cancel you still stop in the path of the movingg saw blade, and only avoid damage if you dodge before it comes back up.
There are other times where being able to cancel it would simply save some time. saying 'you had the charge time to decide to cancel it' is a redundant statement and doesn't adress the problem.

Thanks, I've got already, that you are not capable of providing adequate advice. Also, would not take advice from someone, who does not own game (at least legally) anyway (I can't even know did you ever played it).

Um, you CAN cancel the super dash guys...press the jump button or even the super dash button again you will cancel out of the dash and can jump afterwards or do the down attack that you need to do on the beetles in the WP.

You can't cancel out of the charge.

Way to answer dickishness with dickishness. Very presumptuous of you to immediatly assume the worst. There are more storefronts out there other than Steam. I own the game on GoG, but the forums there are ded so I come here. Not that uncommon.
