      Dark souls isn’t the only game with a dodge. In fact, in dark souls traditionally just pressing dodge will get you a back step, not a roll, so I’d argue that this isn’t specifically a dark souls reference, just action RPGs in general.

      I think DS3 is X. At least one of the Dark Souls games is, I have it ingrained in my muscle memory.

            regardless X on an xbox style controller would be “use item” or switch between twohand on a Nintendo style controller. There is no common controllerscheme where it would be dodge.

                Ah good ole’ “You really care about this” as an attempt to discredit an opposing argument. Can’t let them know we’ve run out of ideas to support our failing point of view!

                I mean, I am too. The joke doesn’t make sense as it’s written, but it would if there’s a different game that uses X to backstep.

                  There are TONS of games that use X as a dodge button. Just because the big game dev, fromsoft, use another button for roll, doesn’t mean no game does. The joke isn’t about what button you press, it’s about getting someone to press literally any button that would mess them up in a normally safe situation.

                    Nobody said they didn’t. I’m saying I don’t know what game this meme is about.

                    But since there’s TONS of examples, feel free to give us some.

                Tbf, I thought the exact same thing. B/O would be the right input for dodge/backstep in all From’s Souls games, including Bloodborne and Elden Ring.

                These people are clearly incapable of separating the joke from reality. Who cares what button is being pressed. The joke is the same even if you put some hieroglyphics in place of it.

                Is this like an autism thing?

            Be it PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo, the right-most face button is the only one that is not X on any of them.

              But what if I’m using a GameCube controller? Eh? What then?

              Of course then I can’t use a shield, so I’m dead long before I get a chance to roll off anything.

            Steam deck controller > PlayStation controller > Xbox controller > Nintendo switch pro controller

                I think controller is only ‘necessary’ for souls games due to them not supporting keyboard and mouse well. I’d prefer to use keyboard for it, but all of the inputs and menu-ing is fucked up.

                Tbh, its a testament to how good the games are, that they are enjoyable despite a huge lack of QoL across the board

        It’s okay that it’s not from dark souls. The joke still works, some games use X to dodge, and some of them include multiplayer and narrow platforms with death below.
