Weapons Special Moves

[NeoAxle]

I've got some difficulties to pull out the special move of the lance.
I've already unlocked some special for the others weapons, but i find this one really hard to pull out.
Even with an arcade stick i can't pull it out, can this possibly be some sort of bug?
I've already tried the 360 move still doesn't work.
The book said that is: down,left,up,right+X. I know this when facing right.
Any ideas guys?

Some moves only work with certain weapons until you master the abilty.

Check the archive instead of the techniques section to check the compatible weapons

The problem is Counter intuitive as hell, and you are the millonth person to get caught by it. And you will not be the last.

Are you sure the move you are attempting, is allowed for your currently equipped weapon?

That's the prank. When you unlock a move, it will list it just by category. like "Shoes" or "Katanas", whatever... But it won't work JUST because it's that weapon type, whoops!

Default karate shoes have an air combo, but can't use down down attack axe kick. Knife shoes can use down down attack axe kick, but can't use the air combo, etc etc.

So countless players get pranked by this, think they are doing something wrong. Then check the archive, and the archive makes it look like it SHOULD work, when it won't. (The main menu tech list is just "Katanas bro!" broad categories. You need specific journal entries listing names of weapons for "This weapon can use X move")

This brings us to what the experience bar on special moves is for. When you max that out (by hitting things with a move), it does not power the move up as you'd expect. Rather, it unlocks it for all weapons of that type.

So if you have a weapon you know can use the move you like, spam the hell out of it with that weapon until it maxes out.
