| Vodacixi said: I never had major problems with the motion controls besides the ocasional recalibration (that was as easy and simple as to press down on the D-Pad). I've heard of many people complaining about how the sword didn't swing as they wanted to. Then you see them play... and they do it like if this was Twilight Princess on the Wii: just moving their wrist quickly. I mean, you CAN make it work like that if you get the right feeling (speedrunners of this game play like this)... but the idea is to use the Wiimote as an actual sword using wider movements with your arm. If you use quick and smal moves with your wrist, the game will most likely not register them properly. |
Yeah I think that might be a big part of the problem; a lot of folks may have approached Skyward Sword as if it were Twilight Princess or a lot of other Wii games and thought a simple flick of the wrist would suffice. If you try to "waggle" (God I hate that term) your way through SS you're in for a bad time.
