Advanced Controls

o Quick Turn: [Left A], if you press Left to the back and press A at the same time, your character will quickly turn around.  This is extremely useful, and one of the reasons why Resident Evil 1 and 2 are harder;  They did not have this function yet.

o Interaction: This is extremely straightforward and requires little explanation but whenever the game promts you to press a button on screen, you can either jump over or off something, use a special move, push a cabinet, open doors (press X twice to kick it in).

o ‘Window Knifing': This can be useful at times to conserve ammo.  Stand in front of a window and you'll be able to hit any Majinis that try to come through the window, while they're having trouble hitting you and getting through the window.
