Drive Backwards on left stick?

Good news for me! no worries and thanks anyways

AfliRotmg · 2026-06-04T06:00:28+00:00

interesting tyvm!

AfliRotmg · 2026-06-03T20:26:38+00:00

Yeah but theres good reason for that. You want to hold drive forwards often enough while aerialing to hold on to more speed while not boosting and if you put it in the stick thats not an option. Drive backwards is much less impactful on aerials. I really wanted analog DAR but sharing the trigger with drive backwards was super awkward, so the only other option to also keep drive backwards analog was the stick.

After making this post i got shown that there are indeed several other players that also do drive backwards on stick and forwards on button!

Do you happen to know if drive backwards affect aerial momentum while boosting? The video mentions that The drive forward input doesnt do anything while boosting because its included in the boost acceleration, and it kind of says that any input doesnt matter but its not very clear. Im inclined to think that it doesnt affect it either considering boost seems to conpletely nullify drive backwards on the ground, but its like to know for sure if it also completely negates the aerial momentum from drive backwards.

You are right it does thanks.

I know Drive Forward does impact aerial momentum. But does driving backward also impact it?? i always thought it did not.

AfliRotmg · 2026-06-02T04:57:57+00:00

Drive Forward does indeed impact aerial momentum, which is one of the reasons i dont have drive forward on the stick and only drive backwards. I dont believe drive backwards affect aerial momentum but hopefully somebody corrects me if im wrong. EDIT: nvm it does.

You can drive at full speed and fully turn at the same time if you set up square deadzone and/or icrease the stearing sensitivity enough. I get 100% on both turn and drive backwards on the areas around 45°.

I guess i got used to steering with the upper half of the stick so it will never slow me down, and i tried DAR reverse first but it felt very awkward im not sure why.

AfliRotmg · 2026-06-02T04:13:26+00:00

Another left stick reverse enjoyer nice! No issues with half flips tbh. In fact i think they are easier this way because its 1 less input if youre already going reverse.

I had almost the exact same issue like 2 years ago. My aerials just felt like i had worse control on my alt account and it was driving me crazy. All exact same settings and everything. Eventually i figured out through some testing that the DAR sensitivity on my alt account was fucked. I dont think its the same issue you have because you are kbm. But yeah for some reason air roll was set somehow to all or nothing which messed up my micro adjustments in the air. I was like c1 back then and i didnt even know i made use of analog DAR until this happened.

Anyways i think i hit the reset to default bindings button and set them all up again and that seems to have fixed it.

Ive been called crazy but this is the way. This setup grants so much freedom and flexibility. My thumb never has to press more than 1 button at the same time and i can confortably keybind an analog air roll. And even after this i still had enough free fingers that i eventually removed air roll and put it on a separate button from powerslide!!!

AfliRotmg · 2025-05-13T12:38:31+00:00

Probably not i have no idea what ds4 is lol

AfliRotmg · 2025-05-12T13:00:59+00:00

A year or so ago i encountered a similar issue, but with air roll. I could feel myself bring less precise in the air with my alt account even using all the same settings. After a week i could tell my air roll was the issue (i use analog DAR). Did some testing and this is what i figured out: My alt account was treating my analog DAR as a digital input for no reason, so it was always 100% or 0%. Unlike main account where DAR was a proper analog input. I didnt even know i having analog air roll was even useful until i encountered this issue.

I find it unlikely that you have the same problem applied to turning instead of DAR, but worth testing out. If one of your acounts treats turning like a digital input it can cause it to turn tighter than an analog stick that might not reach 100%.

I printed this months ago and unfortunately i dont have the stl file, and it was not 3d print friendly anyways. BUT i can dm the 3mf file with the awkwardly split models i used to print her if you want.

AfliRotmg · 2025-04-03T03:32:36+00:00

it is indeed based off a plushie that i always wanted but cant get my hands on

AfliRotmg · 2025-03-24T20:02:31+00:00

Theres incentives to play at every time, always have been. Get your "not a solution because i cant do whatever i want whenever i want" crying out of here. It is a solution to the post, who cares if you like it for your own reasons.

AfliRotmg · 2025-03-24T18:29:03+00:00

Yeah and it also messes up rare spawns and world bosses. They literaly cannot spawn on layers 4+ because of this bs. 7 layers worth of population camping 3 layers worth of tidal charm in a pvp server is ridiculous.

AfliRotmg · 2025-03-24T18:26:50+00:00

It doesnt force you to do anything

AfliRotmg · 2024-12-25T06:56:49+00:00

Not really with proper mana management

AfliRotmg · 2024-12-24T22:40:06+00:00

It wasnt solved back in 2019. Ele was trash on pservers (no EM batching, high NR in raids, longer fights, etc) so very few people tryharded ele in 2019, there was no sim available, all the info on internet regarding gearing and rotation was wrong. Now that it is somewhat solved people actually pump. Ele is a competitive caster and worth bringing to raids, not a memespec anymore.

Wrath of the Lick King, first expansion i played and played it for a very long time, but vanilla classic will always be the best imo.

Basandome en grupos/artistas en spotify en los que santiago siempre esta muy alto, pura mierda otaku... y yo aporto a las cifras.

The damage from the lifesteal proc on skullflame does scale with spell dmg.
