A short tutorial about a subtle technique involving inertia. Many thanks to D-module for helping with corrections and translating the video into Chinese for the bilibili upload.

A few years back, I discovered this by accident and shared a clip on Twitter. While recently digging through my archive, I found it again and decided to make something with it.

This technique is best suited for keyboard players, as quickly pressing and releasing the same directional input is generally slower and more difficult with controller joysticks due to their design.

As a result, controller users who wish to implement this technique in their combos are advised to use macros (TAS) for more consistent execution.

The following is an ahk script for Calibur - DT - JC - Reverse Inertia Rave. You can directly copy-paste it, the configuration is the following j(melee), k(jump), n(DT):

t::
SendInput {space down}
Sleep, 100
SendInput {d down}
Sleep, 20
SendInput {a down}
Sleep, 20
SendInput {d up}
Sleep, 20
SendInput {j down}
Sleep, 32
SendInput {a up}
Sleep, 54
SendInput {j up}
Sleep, 100
SendInput {space up}
press("n", 1)
Sleep, 20
press("k", 1)
SendInput {d down}
Sleep, 50
SendInput {j down}
Sleep, 100
SendInput {d up}
Sleep, 100
SendInput {j up}
Sleep, 100
return

Hope you'll enjoy this video.
