You can attack while looking the other way on controller too lol.

Even better than that.

If you place your self correctly for Snake 1 you can literraly attack the boss while the snake are going out. That's because you can only be petrified if your "front" is touched by it, which means you can take this on your side and not be hit. You don't even have to show your back completely.

So People who are just crying over an exploit, well... Place yourself better and you'll be able to just cheese mecanics like that too.

I have no idea for Snake 2 tho, because this seems to be harder, but, maybe increase the rotation speed ?

So far as I know, your 'field of view' (for purposes of sight mechanics) is a 90-degree cone directly in front of you; if you draw a line straight outwards in the direction you're facing, anything in a 45-degree arc left of that line and anything in a 45-degree arc right of that line is 'visible' to you. For gaze mechanics, the origin of the gaze (e.g. the mob or player or whatever) must be a point within that arc.

The remainder of the 270 degrees around you—left, right, and behind—is 'not visible'; that's why if a gaze mechanic is to your side, you're still safe.

I made a thread on this a while ago, if the terrible lock-on system got fixed then controller would have no problem wiggling like keyboard does, along with a few other features they could possible add. Really though this isn't that big of a deal for P8S, you don't even need to wiggle to keep uptime on the petrify mechanics, the main part where it's annoying on controller is Gorgon 2, but part of that is because of the awful strat NA landed on for it

That said wiggling is not an exploit, if it was I'm sure it'd have been removed a long time ago, and taking away gameplay styles from other people when they're not doing anything wrong is quite silly, I would not advocate for that at all. Personally as I play on Steam, I just have A and D mapped to Strafe keys and I have my analog stick mapped to WASD so I can wiggle with no issues at all. Really, the simplest solution would be to just add a text command to swap between Standard/Legacy controls, so controller players could have a macro to strafe on the fly by just swapping to Standard, then swapping back to Legacy when they don't need to Strafe anymore
