Controls arent responsive and game gets glitchy

If you so happen to stand too close to your opponent you cant strike them but they can strike you. Quite annoying especially since this game is extremely challenging. The other thing is... The controls arent responsive. If I have an enemy approaching from different directions and I have to alternate attacking back to front, the controls will not turn my character around if I press the directional buttons too quickly (I understand if you mash the attack button the attack will still execute thus rendering your character useless until the attack is executed so Ive been careful not to button mash). Its a great game but because of its high level of difficulty and iffy control response it makes me want to throw my phone across the room!
