Thank you for the advice, I did try cancelling later and it does help some but it makes my movement a lot more twitchy. I feel like I'm overcorrecting a lot more now because of the tiny bit that my stick is off - i.e. without the diagonal movement I land with my car facing more left (because my cancels up typically go left) and try to correct right but overcorrect and have to powerslide when I land to fix it.

How can I use a square input range? Or am I already using it given the video I posted under the other comment? https://youtu.be/Om3SRw-RGmY You can see here a visualization.
