I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It's delayed in the sense that it doesn't happen on pressing the button but on letting it go, so it takes a split second longer than you might expect. If it went on press it would not appear to be delayed by a millisecond, as any game where the dodge is it's own dedicated button would show. It's super easy to hold the button down longer than intended in an intense moment and end up taking a hit because of it.
True, and it's definitely not ideal. But what I'm saying is calling it "delayed" isn't accurate, because the real issue is that the trigger isn't what it appears to be. It's unintuitive, but not "delayed."
Like, once you're over the hurdle of getting the muscle memory for having the button held down a moment or two before you need to roll, there's no difference in timing.
Now if I could just get advice for the one game I haven't 100% achievements in: Sekiro.
It's not the inputs, or the patterns, or my timing... It's that I can't see through all the flashes and sparks that fly up when you're in a fight. I've been stuck on Owl forever because the second half of the fight is so crazy, I end up losing sight of the man and can't react to him. 🤣
