Speed Traveling

[BlankM]

Isn't it faster to knuckle dash manually with step attack instead of holding the button?

That's right, it is better to knuckle dash manually. I used to think there was no difference, but after changing to manually pressing the attack button, holding feels so slow... There is most definitely a difference.

As for dashing...
