Seriously. Grab another controller from somewhere.

CONTEXT:
I discovered this whilst at a friends house. He plays on Xbox, I'm on PC and the dude will hammer through controllers like crazy. All of them suffer some problem, but it's usually serious stick drift from the way the sticks are abused.

This resulted in.... Prewinds not working properly. It's extremely weird to see firsthand, because the character will go into the prewind animation, but when they launch, it's like you get half a prewind spin, but it immediately goes into a regular speed spin. (regardless of spin and prewind direction)

We figured out how to work around this, which was to completely remove your thumb from the RIGHT stick after launching, then left stick would, to some degree, prewind. It was still very coin tossy as to whether it triggered or not, even though every single time the prewind animation was triggered and held long before getting air.

His settings are identical to mine (I set them up lol) and we're both on Hold Prewind, not Flick.

Just figured this might be interesting data point and someone can borrow a friends controller to see if that's the reason behind their prewind issues.
