    Disabilities aside this last QTE definitely has something weird going on that I could do without. Sometimes I can keep it near 100% without much effort, other times I struggle to keep it barely hanging on its last 20% in full button mash mode.

    Rubberbanding. The harder you mash, the harder it gets. Pseudo suspense to make you scared because "oh no its so low".
    I let it chill very low since i don't actually mash. I have 4 fingers on the keyboard and hit buttons in quick-ish succsession like typing. Or 2 and just alternate the keys.

    I honestly have to mash more for "Escape" mechanics than on this one.

    I don't think thats the (only) reason? Sure the bar is probably weighed on the fail end, but as I said: sometimes I can keep it almost topped with minimal effort, while other times it drops near 0 like a rock and I have to pull an MLG level 4 button mash or fail miserably.

    Personally I was thinking lag spikes. I do get 0.5-1 second ones in instances fairly regularly in EU, even with a well above average internet connection.

    Oh that might be lagspikes then maybe! I play from EU to NA and rarely have any but can happen.

    That+the rubberbanding might be the thing that screws you over that maybe your lag doesn't align well with the serverticks then? Who knows, my bar looks pretty much the same

    I just know that this bar has some sort of rubberbanding to where you get less the fuller the bar is and more the more empty it is. Probably doesn't go well with a little lagspike.
