"Trick Down" Vergil skill dont work

[Vein]

Hey guys, can someone help me? just started with vergil, im playing on keyboard, always fine, but when i learned "Trick Down" nothing happens. Skill appears unlock in skillist, but character do nothing. (im pressing Lock ON + UP or DOWN + Trick button)

[DeadZeus]

u need to hold lock on and then press back forward and then trick button.

[Vein]

yes its exactly what i do and nothing happens.

i got it, its only working for me when im press - lock on+back forward+trick+JUMP
is it some kind of a stuped joke or i dont get it, cause in description there is no one fckng word about fckng JUMP button. and its unplayable to spam trick+jump together, makes it works 1/3 times.

From you describing what you're doing, you're hitting trick before you hit forwards.
What you are describing is the alternative input for trick down, which is lock on+Back+jump+trick

But the normal command (hold lock on, back -> forward -> trick) requires no pressing of jump

Are u sure u are doing back and then forward? In your OP u say UP OR DOWN. But you have to press back and then forward, not just one of em, both of em.

you're doing it wrong

The move should be easy to do consistently, wether on keyboard or controller.
Keep in mind that the direction inputs you have to do are relative to where your character is looking compared to whatever target you are locked on to.

So, if you are unsure, go to the void, turn off enemy actions, have whatever enemy in front of your character (so that Vergil's back is toward the camera) and HOLD lock on, then PRESS S then W and finally M3 in that order.

EDIT: My explenation of lock on and character direction was kind of messy. If you don't really get what I'm saying, go to an area with say Dante and lock on towards the camera (when there are no enemies) and perform a Stinger (so Dante should be facing the camera with lock on). Instead of pressing "forward" in the way you usually do (pressing W or tilting forward) you have to press S or tilt backwards.
