In the actual souls games, the dodge happens on release of the button because holding it is how you run. It can feel like input lag at times. Though there are times where there actually is lag, usually accompanied by a slight dip in FPS that results in you hitting the input, taking a hit, and then dodging.
I’ve been playing Fallen Order, though, and like I’ll hit the combo to heal, my dude says his voice line and I even lose a heal vial, but the animation of the robot actually tossing me the thing never occurs and I don’t actually get healed. It also has a habit of not putting the droid on ziplines when you jump to them so you just fall into pits.
Funnily, there’s something like this in hollow knight too - you tap the button to use a spell, hold to focus. In HK though, there’s an extra bind you can assign to cast a spell instantly.
