Fight Control Tuning for full block characters | Forums

[kharneth888]

my experience is that any character with a stance that gets activated by holding down on the analog stick may go into the stance without your direct input. when using the black prior with 0 dead zone i would flick my analog left or right for an attack or dodge movement but sometimes he'd go into his full block stance and immediately leave it, making me a sitting duck. this was happening with the aramusha as well, albeit more frequently. lowering the deadzone increases the sensitivity of the analog stick and improves the in game reaction time. basically the default dead zone setting made it difficult to defend against quick attacks but with deadzone lowered its much easier since the game registers your stick movement faster

Okay, thanks. Maybe I'll try out Black Prior again and see if I notice anything.

deadzone 0 is not advicable imo as it opens up more room for mistakes and single twitch makes the decision. You also have to keep in mind that your stick will eventually come off center due to heavy usage and then you have a direction where your hero tends to autoguard whenever you flick your stick. Also in menu you will have your heroes constantly spinning. I would recommend Halvtand's advice and try things out step by step.

"Earlier" would be the technically correct term to use here I think . Deadzone is as the name implies a _dead_ zone_. meaning whilst in this zone, the stick's movement is not considered as an input.

But overall you explained the benefits very nicely *thumbs up*

thanks. I adjusted my dead zone to 6 yesterday and havent had any full block stance issues. but if it happens ill keep these settings in mind

I'd still advise you have it as as small as you can handle it, your instinct in ganks is to move the stick towards your enemy which can accidentally hidden stance you...
