Finding: The "Switch to Party Member and Use Elemental Burst" fails when players perform inputs a certain way during a cinematic burst. Holding ALT mid-animation in preparation to press the other character's button after the burst is over will cause the character to swap without bursting. To successfully swap-and-burst, players must perform all parts of their input AFTER the cinematic is over.

Evidence: All tests on PC and with button presses recorded. First video contains failed bursts where the player holds ALT early and furiously mashes the character swap button. Second video contains successful bursts where the player swaps from a character with non-cinematic burst, or times their inputs precisely and AFTER the animation. https://youtu.be/P_Mzy1v-H4Q https://youtu.be/ll8_O8S9lxU

Significance: Successfully executing certain rotations. Necessary to avoid failing Alhaitham (Q -> swap -> other character burst -> swap back to catch mirrors) tech.
Genshin Impact Quick Burst Input failure
patch 3.4
During a burst with cinematic effects: Holding ALT before the cinematic ends in preparation to do a "Switch to Party Member and Use Elemental Burst" input will make the burst fail.
Genshin Impact Quick Burst Input failure: Addendum
patch 3.4
The failures in this video are not applicable when:
1. The first character has no burst cinematic
2. The player inputs all parts of the "Switch to Party Member and Use Elemental Burst" AFTER the cinematic is complete
in fighting game community terms, this would be "ah, superflash ate my input"
