Fast way to use skills

[Voru]

It kinda breaks up the gameplay in an annoying way to have to go to the menu to use them. I know you can activate one at a time with d-pad, but that feels clunky as well. Any other solutions, or tips?

You can try rebinding the D-Pad buttons. ^_^

So, for reference, here is a list of the less useful buttons:

R1 is your character's special ability.
R2 zooms the minimap in.
L1 blocks.
L2 calls your hose.
L3 does nothing.

If you rebind L2 to L3, then you have L2 and R2 free to scroll through and activate skills.

Blocking is debatably useless in this game, since you can musou, rage, or use any number of skills to defend yourself better. That frees up L1. L2 and R2 can be used to scroll through, and L1 can be used to activate skills.
