Only played briefly so far, I was curious about it... having to use a dedicated button to turn around is like if I go from any of the fighting games where you block by holding backward to Mortal Kombat's block button, except even more jarring. Just repeatedly like "my move didn't come out... oh I'm facing the wrong way".

Strange idea but I guess, give some points for experimentation.

Edit: GG Boost mode does seem kinda cool though, even if it suffers from some of the same turn button issue.
