How to rebind keys for World Tour?

[Adam]

We have the option to choose between Modern and Classic controls, but it lacks the ability to change the specific keybinds, unlike the rest of the game.

Kind of unplayable with the garbage default keybinds.

can't you change it in that in-game phone app?

actually i think it mimics your player 1 controls. normally for classic as example R1 and R2 is HP and HK. i changed HK to be on L1 and R2 to be parry. this is what my avatar uses as well as they dont use the default version.

I COULD BE WRONG but for my my avatar doesnt use the default controls.

edit: i said the wrong inputs.

I feel like I am losing my mind how no one else seems to have this problem. My friend was able to completely rebind his controls using keyboard for world tour just by changing the player 1 controls and mine do not seem to.

There's a setting for exclusive keyboard controls (or something similarly named) under "other input settings". I turned that on, changed my keybinds, then turned it off. If you leave that setting on you can't use other input methods, but the keybinds do save.

yeah setting those are weird, you need to go to options, and change the controls... but then you gotta press R, only then it will give you the keyboard side of the settings.

also each button preset has its own keyboard configuration

Definitely not alone, I can’t find a way to rebind keys either (for avatar battles in world tour). I’m using a B0XX for input device, and my custom controls don’t seem to apply to avatar when using classic control scheme. I don’t see any other separate options for custom binds for world tour

There's also a specific control setting for avatar. That's there I believe.
Look for the keyword AVATAR inside the different settings.

I don’t think you actually read what’s available under that setting

You probably already discovered this yourself, but in case you haven’t try this:

Continue in World Tour until you get get to Chapter 2. By then I believe you will have seen the tutorial message about customizing controls in options menu. Once I saw that, the next fight I did used my custom controls (which I set as soon as I booted the game after installation).

It seems for whatever dumbass reason they soft lock you out of your full control scheme until that part in the game. That was my experience at least, I didn’t change anything else. Funniest part is that I discovered this right after my last response to your other comment lmao

PS - don’t forget to change player 2 side.

i was having this issue, but i found out the issue.

sometimes there appear to be TWO player 1 and player 2 control settings. the first is in the menu screen (selecting game modes), and the second is while you're in world tour. somehow they become out of sync.

you'll want to modify the second player 1 control settings inside world tour to the button preset you want your avatar to use. this will solve the issue you're having.

i had previously set my world tour control setting to "custom 3" & forgot about it. but from ranked, i had switched to "custom 1". so my avatar wasn't getting the changes to my button mapping. every time i tried to fix the issue, i was in the main menu (or the battle hub) until recently.

I'm not sure how they get out of sync, but after hopping in and out of world tour and messing with button mappings, they seem to be back in sync.
