Pokemon: Close Combat/Controls

Default Controls

The game's default controls are WASD to move, and JKL for buttons.
J: Normal Attacks
K: Special Attacks
L: Parry, Throw

U, I, and O are used for colors 4, 5, and 6. They're also used for training mode.
Esc is used for Pausing and going back in Menus. Additionally, Esc + JKL can be used to exit a match (such as exiting Training Mode).

Changing & Binding Controls

You can edit your controls in Options -> Keyboard.
If you want to use a controller rather than a Keyboard, that can be done via Antimicro.
There is a "Joystick" controller setting in the Options, but do NOT use it. It is not stable.
