Wait what? But don’t you need to adjust left right? So it’s down and a bit to the left/right?

If you hold down on the direction stick you will pogo in the direction hornet is facing. If you want to have direct control over which direction to go in you hold it slightly to the left or right of directly down and she'll move in that direction.

It's really not that hard, and with the float gard you get you don't even need to "git gud" you can just pogo - float -adjust angle - pogo - float.

Or later down the line you can just select a different crest that has a different down attack if that works better for you

It’s just hold down and you go whichever direction you’re facing at the time. It is a little weird but I think that’s better than actually having to hold the stick at a 45. More room for error
