A very pressing matter regarding MP:FF

It's only really annoying when you have Diddy and don't want to hover. Then you have to press A right when you land on the enemy and the timing is a bit tricky.

I've tried holding A down before landing on them, I've tried pressing right before landing on them and then letting go, I've tried pressing right before landing on them and continuing to hold, I've tried pressing at the exact moment and land on them and then letting go, I've tried pressing at the exact moment I land on them and then holding, every single method yields the same results - sometimes it works but it usually does not. Maybe something is wrong with my A button?

Maybe? If you press and hold before landing on them it should work 100% of the time, so I have no idea why it's not working for you.

That is kind of what I was thinking honestly. You shouldn't be having that much trouble pulling that off...

I don't either. Like I said, I've tried it a gazillion times and googled it a zillion more looking for help. No dice.

They really should have made hover separate from jump. Like have it be Z or something.

If the prob is my A button, I wonder why I don't have issues on other games?

Do you have any issues doing regular jumps?

No. Do you have to let go of the directional button at the moment of impact?

In DKR to high bounce off an enemy you can hold A at any time before landing on them, but after bouncing off one you have to let go and re-press A before landing on the next one.

Tried this out and it looks like this isn't quite true; you need to press/hold within about a second of landing. Still the timing seems way more lenient than I thought it was. (In Tropical Freeze, at least...)

I;m playing DKR 3D. Not sure if that matters.

Oh, well who knows then. It might be lag frames eating your inputs or it might just be a shitty port.

Also lol at the off-topicness.

i buy tons of upgrades in freeze because there's nothing else to spend all those coins on, and upgrades save a ton of time

didn't use them at all in returns for some reason

The trophy/capsule things are a pretty good use of coins

i've never bought one. do they actually do something?

They're basically little collectible figurines. They're kinda like trophies in Smash. I don't think they do anything, they're just nice to look at.

I think there is something wrong with the game because when you google the issue, some people are flabbergasted that anyone would have a hard time with it and other people are saying it's nearly impossible to do, then when you read the advice from the people who aren't having issues they often give totally different advice and don't even agree on how to do it.

ah ok, that's what i thought they were. since i'm not going for 100% anyway, not really interested in wasting coins on them when i could have stuff to make the game easier/faster instead.

opium it sounds like you're just doing it wrong

i remember having difficulty bouncing off enemies too until i got the hang of it ... iirc you have to time your press of a, then keep holding it to bounce

it's not like most nintendo games where you can start holding a while you're in the air, falling toward the enemy

why do people still think there is such a thing as "on topic" or "off topic" on m2k2? it seems to be just you hardcore metroid guys who don't post in the social boards :P

we've had taiga forum for 6+ years now ...
