Resident Evil 3 Nemesis PS1 - Practicing Dodging and Shoving

I start this one out with trying to dodge dogs, only managed a few times, mostly got hit since if this timing thing is tied to distance, enemy attack frames as well as my own, from some of these angles it is hard to see any of that, as such is a guessing game, I hate that. After a couple of tries I gave up on the dogs. I did intend to keep going, to play this seriously, but still stuck with the knife and continued to tested out shoving zombies and now am doing worst while in the police station than I had when I was outside and getting hit now about half the time I try to do it. I am refusing to save this right now, got bit too much and if that happens more than I have for health items, I wouldn't make it anyway. Maybe I should have fought Nemesis, though I know how that would have went, though given I am still at my previous save I can next time if I decide to keep trying to play this. This could have been a really good one, but trying to dodge or push something that from different perspectives be it camera is too far or the enemy themselves are blocking your view or even yourself blocking from seeing how close they are, timing is not easy when things have to be super precise and you don't always have a clear view, even so, even when I could see just fine, I still can't get the timing down on this one, sometimes I get it and manage to shove them, other times I get it, as in get bit. I do have more guns and ammo being this is easy mode, but one shouldn't have to resort to wasting all that early in the game, though all the while thinking I should just be playing State of Decay 2 because it doesn't have some of this nonsense, has its own issues, but control and camera are better... yes, I think I got spoiled over the years, so much that it is hard to get back into these old games, though I did enjoy Alone in the Dark The New Nightmare, that one was actually fun and kept my interest this time around.
