Rumour has it, he's still paying the price.

The Nic Cage Ghost Rider movies were fun, and I'll die on this hill.

First one, completely agree. The second one, meh...

the timing varies slightly by game iirc

I fucking hate that it's this way, ~~my reaction time just isn't fast enough to get anything except mediocre boost.~~ I suck at timing things, especially without explicit prompts and feedback.

Edit: there, I fixed it to be more accurate

It's less about reacting and more about anticipating - learn the timing rather than trying to wait for a moment and then react.
