Paper Mario 2 - Super Hammer Issue

[gauche_panda]

I've been playing Paper Mario 2 fine with keyboard input but with the introduction of the Super Hammer spin move, I'm having issues.

The move requires holding down the B button and then pressing the arrow keys that correspond to the main stick. However, when I hold down B, it seems to register this as letting go of B as well and executes a normal hammer move making it impossible to hold down B as required.

I can't seem to find anyone having this same issue, although some people have had an issue later on with the roll move. Any ideas?

I believe it's normal that you execute a normal hammer move at first when you start holding down B. Keep holding down B, and start rotating the main stick once the normal hammer move is done.
