Daring Dash Lag in MediEvil 2 emulation

Am I crazy or is the daring Dash somewhat unresponsive in the version of MediEvil 2 that just came out as a PSN download? I don't have problems getting any other moves to register, but it seems I have to be extra assertive in my presses of the triangle button to make Dan perform a dash. I must have drowned him 1,000 times trying to reach that life bottle in the Freakshow.
