==== Walk/Run ====
Maria doesn't auto-run in the Saturn version like she does in the PSP/Requiem version. You need to double tap. Walking should be avoided as much as possible even at beginner level, apart from a few specific spots where precise positioning is required for skips.
Running can be a beginner-friendly alternative to the Flying Kick in some spots if you're scared of getting direction locked. It is possible to continue the running animation when turning around mid-air, but this involves inputting the opposite direction with no neutral input. This can either be easy or difficult depending on the SOCD configuration you use as well as your input device, with leverless devices. It has minimal impact in the run outside of competition at the absolute highest level; it isn't something that beginners or even intermediate players need to worry about at all. To perform this on controller, you may find it easier to place your thumb horizontally on the D-pad over the Left and Right arrows as opposed to having your thumb positioned vertically or at an angle.
