I can not put into words the amount of frustration I got after unintentionally ranged heavy attacking when I just wanted to throw a normal heavy and feint it. Any way to manually stop accidentally ranged heavy attacking? I'm seriously on the verge of just not playing Shinobi anymore because of this issue.
Alrighty. I didn't know this one, so I asked the shinobi players in Koto. I only got one response, but I'll share it here.
"You can feint ranged heavies as well. Other than that, all I can think if is get into the habit of only tapping the button and be faster taking finger off to prevent holding it down. I sadly have nothing else." -Chatyboy
best of luck, my shinobi friend!
