tap between every hit in a combo (Nero)

[.VM8RA]

for his throttle-thing on his sword, I think I kind of have it worked out in that you press it right after every blow in a combo, right?

[guigameplayer]

Yes, the timing is very dificult to pull of, remember you can always check previous tutorials in the menu.

Make a habit to do that, even if it doesn't come out frequently at first. Also practice a bit with the very first strike of your sword, keeping doing this in a combo can be dificult since the time to rev (by rev i mean pressing the exceed button) the sword changes if the attack coming out is already with exceed properties.

If i'm not mistaken, the right moment to press the exceed button is usually the moment the momentum of your sword swing ends.

Also you can Rev your air taunt if you time it well.

getting one notch is easy as you just hit the exceed button as the swing ends. getting a full exceed though is much tougher and I can't for the life of me do it reliably.

I don't know why, but most luck with maxact I have with Combo B. Sometimes it happens in couple of times in row.

I can do them now. I just have the first bar upgrade so far though.

Thing is it's one of those cases where I can do them really well outside of combat, then once the ♥♥♥♥ hits the fan it all goes out the window. ha ha.

I'm sure I will be able to transfer it over to battles soon enough, but I'm only able to get b or c (I have gotten an S rating before, but I had auto on by mistake, ha ha) ratings during combat.

I wonder if remapping the controls might help. I just think it's a lot to have to hold down lock on tap the throttle, do a combo and time dodges all at once.

The only being able to dodge while locked (while it's always been like this) is not really ideal IMO, or at least the button placement.

I kept getting hit on the first boss as it's a lot to juggle, and half the time I'd jump instead of dodge and get hit.

Wow, V clicks with me way more, getting consistent S ranks during combat right from the outset. Is he just easier to use?

Yes. If you have DT and use it, you're pretty much guaranteed to get an S rank.

Remapping exceed to L1 and gun to L2 works well for me, and it's comfortable.

The triggers have a lot of travel, so remapping exceed to L1 will allow you to be more precise.

[.VM8RA]

thanks guys. I had put the gun on R1 and the devil trigger on X rather than B so far.

I will try the other recommended change as well.

[.VM8RA]

wait I'm using a an xbox controller so it's RB, LB, LT, RT. which would be 2 in this case?

is RB R1 and then R1 would become R2?

exceed already is LB for me I think, I will check though. that's a good idea as well though if not.

I was also thinking for V that having the bird on Y and the cat onX would be better as you need to hold in the button for the bird to do it's AoE and it's weird holding X while doing combos on Y.

RB = R1
RT = R2

I put LB for exceed, LT for gun (use it on any downtime situation) RB lockon

I got the bird on LB for V so you can charge it easily while doing combos with whatever else.

thanks. I have that same set up now.

what is a good set up for V and Dante as well, please?

[Nineball H1]

The only thing I changed for V is putting Griffon on L2(LT), so I can charge attacks and fire while attacking with Shadow. Gun for Nero is on the same button for the same reason. Dante's controls remain mostly unchanged for me, but that's only because I don't use his guns as much as I should.
