Horizontal Final Cutter Not Working

[Tetraplex]

No matter how many times we tried, my friends and I could not get this move to go sideways. Anyone else having this problem, or are we just bad?

 

[F. Blue]

You have to hold both sideways on the analog stick and the B button until the horizontal slash comes out. Most 'navigable' special moves like this usually allow just a tap of the B button, so I agree it's a little unnatural.

 

[Virum]

Keep holding B and have the stick fully horizontal

Ninja'd

You can only do it in the air.

 

[drsusredfish]

the tolerance level for horizontal almost feel too strict. I can rest the control stick in the controllers grooves and it still won't come out sometimes.

 

[HalfBakedHarry]

For some reason I can only do it to the left and not to the right >_> It may be just be time for me to get a new gamecube controller.

I've got a similar problem. Perhaps my controller is broken as well. I'm gonna ask some of my friends on campus if they have a similar problem.

Thank you. This was driving me crazy.

 

[DiamondDust]

I can do it both sides, no problem, so I doubt this is a bug if anyone was wonder. Yeah, I agree though, the timing for it does seem kinda strict sometimes and honestly, I've yet to find a good time to even use the move while fighting.

 

[AlGeorgeRomo]

Push up-B to start his final cutter. As soon as Kirby gets into position, keep holding B, but push the stick to the right/left.

 

[pootTheBox]

I'm pretty sure if someone is having trouble it's because they are attempting it on the ground. The inputs are simple enough. Try it after a short hop, full jump, or aerial and enjoy.

 

[Tetraplex]

I haven't been trying it on the ground, so I guess the timing is just strict

 

[Phoenix502]

it is strict,... and not very forgiving on controllers with worn out sticks, either... I can pull it off no problem offline, but online, I have to reset my controller a couple of times before the horizontal command registers. so it would be nice if the window was a little more lenient...

I have the same problem.

 

[Kaeldiar]

You must already be in the air, hit up-b, then quickly hit forward-b (be sure to hit B again, as well!). The timing is pretty sensitive, so just work with it.

 

[TheLostSabre]

then quickly hit forward-b (be sure to hit B again, as well!).

Forward-B relative to the direction Kirby is facing. Oh and you just need to hold B after starting Final Cutter.

 

[hotdogturtle]

The timing is absolutely not strict at all, as long as you're in the air and holding B as you press forward. I'm convinced that everybody claiming to have problems with it is trying it on the ground without jumping.

 

[Kati]

Yeah there really isn't any timing at all to it. Just hold the special button and make a quarter circle motion.
