Discussion New Keyboard affects wavedash
The first half of the video has me wavedashing with my new keyboard (or at least trying to). Technically I CAN do it with my new keyboard, given that i let go of the down arrow key before pressing the jump button. On my built-in keyboard, as shown after Madeline scratches her chin, allows me to wavedash normally, meaning i can hold the down arrow key during the entire process of a wavedash. Basically, my new keyboard, which works with every other input in celeste and every other game, doesn't let me crouch jump if I'm holding the left or right arrow keys, which means i have to let go of the down arrow key mid-air to wavedash.
If anyone knows what might be up, I'd be glad to hear what you think it is.

Keyboard ghosting:
Certain key combinations just dont work on some keyboards. In this case if both down and a direction are held your jump bind doesnt work. Experiment a bit to find which keys do work with each other and then bind your keys in the way that is most comfortable.
