Control Layouts

Gamepad control layouts

Layout A: Rotation on right stick - Default button mapping

This is the default pad control layout. You can map a turbo button to R3 to turbo rotate easily. However, rotation on Right Stick is not ideal. For advanced movement you want constant access to rotation while doing everything else. As the L1 and R1 buttons are freed up it’s recommended to map something on them, like Turbo+Crouch or CW macros.

D-Pad / Left Stick △ X ⬜ ◯ L2 R2 L1 R1 Touchpad Right Stick R3

Directional movement Jump Crouch Left Turbo Right Turbo Left Weapon Right Weapon None None Special Rotation Turbo (for RS rotate)

Layout B: Rotation on L1/R1 - Recommended Layout

Default layout with shoulder buttons mapped to Left & Right Rotation. One of the ideal mappings as all actions are available without switching finger positions. Map L3 or Back/Share button to Left Turbo to enable Both Turbo inputs (only used with one character).

D-Pad / Left Stick △ X ⬜ ◯ L2 R2 L1 R1 Touchpad Right Stick L3 R3

Directional movement Jump Crouch Left Turbo Right Turbo Left Weapon Right Weapon Left Rotation Right Rotation Special Rotation (optional) Left Turbo (for Specineff BTCW) Right Turbo (for RS rotate)

Layout B2: Rotation on L2/R2 - ‘Armored Core’ style

Same as above but swap Rotation and Weapon mappings. Possible improvement by having weapon inputs on buttons instead of triggers (more sensitive).

Layout C: Turbo on L1/R1, Rotation on Right Stick and/or Square & Circle

More easy to push both turbo buttons at the same time if needed. Closer to Twinstick setting. For Specineff specific advanced techniques if layout B isn’t working for you.

Twin-Stick control layout

The default layout from arcades. No room to switch around when using a Twin-Stick apart from swapping Turbo and Weapon buttons. In console ports of the game the twinstick control layout can used on a gamepad with stick movement corresponding to the left and right analog sticks. But it’s difficult to use the analog sticks similar to the original 8-way arcade control, so most players stick to the pad configuration.
