Sonic slows down if you take your finger off the d pad or switch direction.

yeah but

I kind of hate that meme. I understand that is how the series has been advertised but it isn't really how you play the games.

While they occasionally have their use, I don't think they really add much to most games, usually it's just to jump a bit further than usual. The only run button i can think of that feels genuinely satisfying is in Gears of War.

I'm all for holding buttons all the damn time.

get that constant stream of fire going

Run buttons tied to stamina bars are lame. Re: Bloodborne

I kind of liked it in Breath of the Wild. It made you feel like you earned the stamina and the ability to climb things you couldn't previously.

Even then though, at the end of the game it's just relief that you don't have to deal with that shit anymore.
