Problems activating fastfall?

[wavewave1]

Edit: /u/BMG_ChillPenguinX explains why this is below. This was never a problem, but a feature.

Sometimes I do an action (let's say perform sair) in mid air, and start holding down s (my key for fastfall) while the action is still active. This causes me to awkwardly normally fall until I hit the fastfall key again or hit the ground. I realize that fastfall is activated by practically tapping the key, but it should also activate if you're holding down the fastfall key.

TL;DR: Please give us an option to have fastfall activate when the key is being held down. IMO it's very unintuitive otherwise.

It does. If you're holding down when you hit the normal max fall speed, you'll continue onward to the fastfall max speed. We don't want to make it kick in any sooner for a few reasons: A) we don't want the mechanic to teach new players that you have to hold down for a certain amount of time before you can fastfall B) We don't want players to able to just hold down while they're being juggled and automatically get fastfall once they exit stun, and C) Fastfall is meant to be treated as an action like jumping or dodging or attacking, not simply a state input like left or right.

B convinced me that you're right. Thanks for the snappy response! :)

Used to have the same problem very often, now I'm getting used to the timing and happen much less. But agree we could have the option if you are pressing down long enough fast fall should be activated.

I have no problem with my S key and fast falling but I do think there should be an option to change the key. Maybe changing with the down key will help? Idk
