I have been having a lot of trouble getting it to work consistently. I have over 450 attempts on the run and I just assumed I would get the hang of it, but it feels like a 50/50 chance of my mouse courser just moving off of the menu options on it's own or not even being on it anymore to begin with. Is there something i can do to get it every time? or is it just random?

^^^^^

I'm having some trouble where I frequently get knocked back in bounds when i get skewed by the 2nd set of bats (unbuffered). What i want to know is what I can do to stop that from happening? Do I need to hold the c-stick down for a longer or shorter amount of time? Or maybe hit the c-stick sooner or later than i am? Any help is appreciated.(Also I can provide a video of it happening if that would help)

I've got both but would rather use the pro controller. Is there any reason I would want to use the gamepad over the pro controller?
