SPEED KILL STAB ANIMATIONS

In this section I have detailed all the various animations for the speed kills found throughout the game. The words in brackets are the precise moments in which you should press the primary attack button to execute a stab or other attack in order to continue the full speed kill animation. The Dark Prince's speed kills will only require you to tap the Secondary Attack button rapidly (normal) or simply tap the Secondary Attack button one time (chain) but I have listed them anyway. Please note that the Shutter speed kills only have a different beginning animation, but the stabs have the same animation as if the Prince initiated a normal speed kill.
