Zone Attack Solution | Forums

Just bind the light and heavy attack to one button on your controller, easy to do if your on pc under your controller settings, you can do this with the Xbox Elite controller I believe, and you can also do this under the ps4 settings

I use a Scuf impact controller and you can bind any of buttons you want to the paddles makes zone attacks a one button move

The PS settings allows you to remap buttons, as in swap them.
But does not allow you to bind two buttons into one.
Neither does my Nacon Pro controller.

I wish man.

And it would have to be a macro that has the light attack inputed a split second first, as pushing these at the exact same time will execute a heavy attack.

My Nacon can do macros, but I have to forfeit that in order to remap buttons.
Boggles my mind that they make you do one or the other.
Waiting for a software update on that, that will probably never come.

And I can't use the PS remapping the way I want with the extra handle buttons on my Nacon.

Although, I did just assign the light and heavy attack to my sticks, and this seems to have helped a bit.

But I think it should be effortless to execute the move you want.

It's not like it's difficult to make that happen in a way that doesn't involve a light flicker.

Wether it's a process like I suggested, or one button.

It really induces quite the heavy sigh when you go to zone attack on soldiers, and sometimes no matter how tightly you time it, you keep tossing out a heavy and then standing there for two seconds while they nibble on you.

Or when you lose a close fight because you didn't get the move you wanted.

the only way to do it so the timing doesn't need to be tight but still not allow flicker is of course for it to have its own button. but since they are all taken, that's not really an option, other would be to make it so you have to be in the correct stance already, so if you zone comes out from your right, you need to be in right stance for it to work. or i suppose you could do it from any stance, but the game forces the guard for you. much like if you are in a side stance and go for a top-heavy, it switches stances before the attack comes out.

These things would allow the old timing but not make flicker a problem, but in all honestly I don't find the way it is now to be a problem, sure sometimes it doesn't but it's rare. and no different to anything else in the game, i sometimes have feints and soft-feints not work that cost me a fight, it just happens. but not a huge deal.
