Malfestio can inflict a status with yellow vapors he produces. When hit by them your controls are all reversed for a short period (i.e. holding left on the analog stick will move you right). I know this goes away on it's own, and that getting hit gets rid of it too, but is there a way to end the status early without taking damage?
