Wierd problem

Sometimes when i attack there is delay between attacks. Ill do 3 fast hits with lance then hop over and there will be pauses in between my stabs. I also think it happend a few times while doing the Triangle Triangle Triangle+Circle combo. It just stopped attacking after first hit. It this part of the game or are both of my attack buttons broken?

Try pressing those buttons in a different game and see if the problem continues.
If it does, it's your PSP. If it doesn't, it's your game.

Try different weapons, like SnS. With that, there shouldn't be much of a delay. If there is, your PSP or game is messed up. If that doesn't help, try other games.
