haha, that took me a while. Heres the thing...i would say it is ALL about timing but i've noticed the timining situation is usually further off than it appears to be...in other words i stopped trying to time it and went at the times i felt were off step and it worked. i think it's because the reaction time is slow so you have to over compensate. i had the same trouble when climbing the wall to get to shinra tower..i was like "WTF! I AM DOING IT PERFECTLY!" but then i tried doing it out of time and it worked...what was i saying... heh..sorry, i am of little help..but it isn't required..so if you don't do it nothing bad will happen...^_^'
