Forward strong and up strong’s dagger follow up behave differently.
I don’t know if there’s more cases, but with up strong, you can follow up the cape with a dagger using a grab input. This is not the case for forward strong (nothing will come out).
This is bad not only as a consistency oversight, but also practically because I prefer using tap strongs for my strongs and would rather not have to add a strong button to my keybinds when the grab button could suffice if this was fixed. Forward dagger is the only reason I need a strong button (out of every single move in this game) and it’s very unfortunate I have to change my layout and muscle memory for such a small thing.
Reason why tap strong is bad for dagger is because unlike using a button, you have to time it perfectly. Too late, and you’ll be late obviously. Too early, and you get a tilt. Using a button you can buffer (or just spam) the input and you get your dagger as expected.
