Button shortcuts

[Chaotropy]

I'm using keyboard to play the game and these button shortcuts really do my head in. Tried turning it off from the settings but doesn't seem to work. Any tips to get it off?

which button shortcuts?

Change your keys to numpad except for movement, it's much easier to play there! And you won't have any shortcut problems (I'm a keyboard player myself).

Like having a shortcut for meter burn when you press I+J+K simultaneously.

Nope, shortcuts are still there.

Hmm, strange! Maybe you wanna try my layout? I have numpad, but still....You can try mine!
Num 7: Light attack
Num 8: Medium attack
Num 9: Heavy attack
Num *: Meter Burn
Num 4: Change Stance
Num /: Interactions in the level
Num +: Used in multiverse for calling assistance

I don't know if this will help you, but try it out! Hope it works.

Ah I think I see what you mean... No I don't think you can change that (they're not called shortcuts), because that's how the game is designed.

So when you press light attack + medium attack you'll get an interaction.
When you press light + heavy you'll get a throw
When you press medium + heavy you'll do a flip stance.
(Or you can use the alternate keybinds for each of those actions)

I'm guessing you're having trouble with doing a background interaction, for exemple, by mistake when trying to do a combo because you pressed 2 buttons too quickly... is that the problem?

If that is the problem, the only solution is to be a bit more careful... it's annoying, I know, it happens to me too sometimes... =P

You use the left hand to move??? Heresy... u_u
(also, you're missing a button there, for the character trait/ability =P)

Yeah, I forgot that one! Sorry. It's Num / (Thanks for reminding me). And I understood now what he meant by shortcuts, that can't be avoided sadly.

If you're right handed, I'd recommend using the arrow keys for movement, unless you've always used WASD to move of course. Movement is the most important thing that you do in fighting games (specially blocking) so I don't know why people use their left hand =P

(I mean, yes I do, because of habit, but eh... doesn't make sense).

I play other fps games, so I'm very used to WASD for movement. xD But, I guess it's everyone's own preference.

Yeah I guess... I also use WASD on other types of games like FPS... it's just I'm old enough that I started played with arrows... so I still use them on certain types of games (like platformers) =P

But in the end, in a FPS game, the most important action is aiming, which you do with the mouse and the right hand... so my theory isn't wrong ;)
