My R2 button doesn’t work, except if I spam 15 minutes on it and you guys ? (sorry for my english I’m french)
And because of that I haven’t started the game… so frustrated… 
Do I have to re-install the game you think ?
PS : It’s a brand new controller I have…
This game relies more on skill level than actual button response. You need to do training if you want to be effective with any weapon. Even then when you attack an opponent the game dose a calculation based on your skill level, your opponents skill level, your armor, your opponents armor, your stamina, your opponents stamina, to see if you will actually hit. This is not a game were you can simply master the comboes and kick but. There is a lot more going on. There is a lot of depth to the system. If you do the training and learn the system, the combat can be a lot of fun. Also, know when to retreat from a superior force.
ok, but I push the button and nothing come the first sword training wants to… I’m block… I can’t do anything. I know for training stuff but if I can’t do the tutorial I’m stuck…
Sometimes for me R2 doesn’t seem to work on first strike even if depressed all the way.
Usual tips: make sure you have the latest system update and game update, trim save files (<10), restart system
If I see a strike coming I spam the block button while trying to move the sword toward the oncoming blow. If I see an opening I spam the attack button while trying to move the direction for advantage. Some times I use the jab to create an opening. It may not be proper form but it works for me.
just remap r1/l1 with r2/l2 in ps4 settings.
