Chaining attacks does prevents your HAR from turning back towards enemy

[Snafulator]

This one i can reproduce reliably.

Hop into a jaguar. Jump over your enemy and then try for a quick trip. It will trip away from the enemy and you will be stuck attacking in the wrong direction until you let go of all of the keys.

You get used to this and can play through it but i don't remember this being an issue in the original.
