charge n roll is a challenge in itself

[Volt]

Im loving this game, but Ive started to notice that I cant do the charge n roll thing properly to save my life. I never had issues with this on the original game(s) but it seems you need to be WAY faster on the inputs for this PC port.

Is this just me, or has this port made it more tedious? Im using a very solid PS4 controllers that works very well, so thats not it.

It's not just you. I find it tough as well, using an XBone controller.

I seem to have 3 issues here

1) the roll starts, but cancels a second after
2) the roll starts, but due to super sensitive controls it sees when I pushes slightly left/right and the roll cancels to move sideways
3) it starts and charges right away without charging up a little before, throwing off my expectations/timing.

its VERY annoying to deal with and so far Im trying not to use the skill at all due to how frustrating it is.

Treat it the way you would a drum pattern or keyboard passage: start slow and practice, practice, practice. Pick up the controller a few times a day, when you're not even gaming. Put thumbs on sticks and practice going up down up down up down, as quickly as you can while maintaining a even speed and rhythm. Commit the motion to muscle memory.

Going to take my own advice and work on improving my charge technique. Katamari FTW!

But there's the thing; it's simply inconsistent on when it works or not. Im not sure if the PS4 controller is just super sensitive, but I never had this issue before on the originals. Its almost as if the game expects the inputs to be done faster. Not to mention, even if you have a slight side wiggle, it interrupts the charge.

I thought so too but I'd realize I'm just mashing the sticks out of rhythm. Slow down and do it properly and it gets consistent really fast. It's you, not the game. I was the same way.

I have zero problems using the charge roll on a wired xbox 360 controller. The controls are exactly the same as they were on a PlayStation 2 dual analog controller.

I'm having a really hard time with it too. I can only get it to work 1 out of 10 times. I used to play the PS2 of this only a few years ago, and used to do it very easily on console. Xbox360 controller here too.
