I can't beat this game because of the 8-directional dash being so inconsistent it frustrates me because it leads to many deaths that I don't feel were deserved. Why am I so distressed about this? Because I want to love this game.

No real way to "fix" it. Just. Keep playing. You'll improve over time and you shouldn't feel like you have to LOVE this game. Its gameplay is good. Its story is good. its good

I think I am gonna try to finish the main story before I tackle the B-Sides cause that's why I have the problem. The B-Sides require a lot of turbo precise jumping dashing and wall jumping which is very annoying

btw do you get a different ending for beating the B-Sides ?

[ei balls]

Ya you should beat the main story before attempting ANY of the b-sides.

You don't get a different ending for beating the B-sides, I think the intention is to beat the normal levels, then B-sides. Also, try using the D-pad instead of the analog stick, I think that's what most people recommend to prevent dashing in wrong directions.

I tried it and it feels sorta uncomfortable

If you're using a 360 controller like me, then that's the awful D-Pads fault. I find myself doing dashes at incorrect directions all the time. Eventually I learned to press hard the specific direction but it still happens from time to time.

I use a DS4... I've never even owned an Xbox but I have all the Playstation consoles from 1-4

just connect a controller, believe me, this game is worth it. If you can't afford one, just turn on assist mode. It lets you slow down the in game time

I'm playing with a DS4

Yeah, I agree. I use a DS4 as well. Eventually my solution became that I use the D-pad for some sections and go back to the comfortable analog stick at others. Another thing I felt helped a bit was just being overly conscious of the analog stick, and exaggerate every move. Doesn't work every time, but helps a bit...

sounds like a controller issue then anything else.

played this game on my arcade stick and/or keyboard and never had any issues with dash direction.


try this, go to the steam controller options enable ps4 contoller support [ if you have not already]

then make a steam contoller config for your ps4 contoller in celeste.

what you want to do have all the controls the same other then the analog stick, turn the analog stick into a 'd-pad' then play around with the options. one of the options for the d-pad binds would make it a 8-way input.

just a theory, but it might make it work better then how the game sees the analog stick.

you should really finish the main story and get as much strawberries as possible along the way. I play with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop keyboard and I had no problem beating the main storyline. trust me, the game is really good at teaching you hard jumps through gradual difficulty and optional strawberries, so good that by the last stage, you are only thinking about what to do and not worrying about difficult jumps
