Has anyone managed to get the timing down on his cancel? If I can get it timed right I would probably use it a lot more.

It sort of reminds me of a move in Tekken Tag, with Jin. I think it was called a lightning dash? I don't really remember, its Forward Neutral down Forward, and you kind of wave dash in tekken.

ANYWAYS :p Just curious if anyone has the timing down to where they can do any of the 3 distances they want yet.

Im not sure, but I think it depends where you press B on, which is one of the first 3 frames when the move is done.

Going to training mode and slowing things down might help you get the timing down :3

Yea its really tricky timing I was fairly decent at it for like a day but then the next day my timing was off again.

Waks good suggestion I completely forgot about slowing time down in training I was making those stop watch items spawn to slow it down....:ohwell:

u press B while wolf is like "invisible" he's in like a void between where he starts and his destination, looks like red lightning, throughout 3 frames (each frame is 1/60th of a second) he travels that distance, press B during one of the 3 frames, the first being the shortest and the last being the longest

Yes I understand how it works, it's just hard to get it down without sitting there spamming b after I phantasm.

Yea, this has been pissing me off a bit lately. I can get on streaks where I do 4 or 5 in a row but then nothing for the next 15 minutes. I also seem to trigger the shortest one the most often which I suppose is telling me I am pressing B to soon. Do you guys think this move will ever be viable to do in a real game? Seems too hit or miss to rely upon to me.
