Swordplay Theatre Broken

[Hansuki]

After 100+ tries, I've yet to catch a single strike from my partner, I can't get my character to clap hands together at all. I push the sticks inward, but it doesnt matter, no animation, just facefull of sword. I've tried every timing imaginable, I'm positive the input is bugged (there should be a hand clap animation even if you miss)

Also, I don't even think its possible to play this minigame with keyboard controls....if so, what are the two buttons to press? It might be easier than with the controller.

Can anyone confirm that they've caught a sword or am I right to think this is bugged?

it did work for me once
pusing up both of the analoge sticks at the same time to catch the sword

you are right
it is bugged

[Jash_F]

its freaking annoying, i cant even make him clap! -_-

ITS SO FREAKING ANNOYING! ARGH! I'm gonna SHOVE MOCHI UP MY ASS!

[Hansuki]

Yeah, I tried Up on the sticks and also in, as in R3 and L3, but nothing, just no animation ever.

Fortunately, even though a lot of old guides say I need to do 6 partner minigames, I was able to get momoji to move in after only 4 rounds of Mochi making (two in Guard Gate, two in Takatane) so maybe you can just ignore swordplay theatre altogether.

Try both the sticks to the right. It worked for me.

You. I like you.

If you Keyboard user, like me, the default button was press D and J simultaneous right before your partner swing the sword. Do remember, you cannot spam it. You given maybe around 1 sec before the sword's attack, but the success were about 0,5 sec hit the button when you see your partner start moving her/his hand. Mastering it would be hard though, even after you know the theory.

If you already custom your button, try to remember what D & J change into.

thanks it worked flowlessly
and i mastered the timing

So it's the opposite? I'm gonna give that a try now

[Stinky Agent]

Any updates on this? With good Xinput controller can't find a way to make it work yet :/ - No other control problems. (With my Dinput on the other hand, the right stick is just dead or thinks the mouse input is a stick).

No whiff animations either.

Go to the gamepad mapping option, you'll see your right stick's left and right is reversed. Fix that and it'll work

[Chance™]

I think the description of what you had to press needs to be worded better, "both sticks inward" said to me left stick, right & right stick, left.

Thanks.
