What control method do YOU guys typically use?

[SnocSock the Hedg]

Uh....
WASD for normal movement
Z for jump
X for spin
1, 2, and 3 for the customs (you guess which /j)
Mouse for looking, duh- (as opposed to my touch pad, I suppose)
Oh, and standard play style. No auto-braking (just doesn't feel natural, as I started in 2.1; auto-braking didn't exist yet)
Esc is pause to the menu
' is tossflag
RAlt is to open the console (orange! it just looks....normal for me)

For multiplayer things, if you care:
Fire is mouse1 (left click), fire normal(what's the difference???) is mouse2 (right click)
Talk is T, team is Y
Next weapon is E, previous is Q.
I don't have a "pause" labeled button on this laptop, so it's page up
My F12 occupies the brightness up option, so my viewpoint is insert

That's all I can remember, I don't use all of the buttons obviously. I don't use look up or down, for example.
And sorry if I went too in-depth. But controls are controls, I guess.

fire fires whatever weapon ring you have selected
fire normal just fires regular/infinity rings

W/A/S/D	Movement
Space and L	Jump

I’m surprised most people here use the keyboard for Spin. I use the Right Mouse Button to Spin.

I always thought this was the best way to play.

I mostly play SP, so I dont use anything that isn’t Jump, Spin and movement at all… thats probably why.

 

[GoodieTheSeller]

long story short, i use my ps4 controller with the default play style.

 

[EggModernism]

xbox controller.
left stick is movement. right stick is turning.
right trigger is jump. left trigger is spin.
start is pause.

as soon as I figured out to try this scheme, I've never looked back. it's perfect for my tastes.

 

[FlashbackGuy]

I use an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller, great for 2D and 3D games alike, and I have my buttons mapped as follows.

Move	Left Stick
Camera	Right Stick
Jump	B
Spin	L1
Custom 1	Y
Custom 2	R1
Custom 3	A
Check Status	X
Toss Flag	D-Pad Up
Weapon Previous/Next	D-Pad Left/Right

I use automatic mode since it’s the best way to play the game with a controller, and I already know some people will despise me solely for that.

[Octosquid]

Keyboard + Mouse, default keyboard controls, manual.

[Mouse Only]

The fact that this is a possible control scheme terrifies me.

 

[Worm]

I couldn't imagine playing on controller honestly haha. I guess I'm just more used to navigating 3d environments on k&m 'cause of FPS games, but I don't think I could manage precision platforming with a joystick. Then again I play celeste on controller so what do I know.

 

[Madotsuki]

I first played this game on a controller because "It's a 3d platformer lol why wouldn't I" and got annoyed and frustrated at the game, then i decided to start from scratch and learn the game via keyboard and then it clicked as to why this is a good video game. I get mixed messages on how people feel about calling this a doom thing, but this game becomes a lot better to handle when approached from the idea that sonic moves around more like doomguy than any sonic game and should be thought of as such. I could not imagine going back to controller unless playing a mod that specifically wants a controller

 

[Octosquid]

If given the choice, I would not make the controls more sonic-like.
The game is much more fun when controlled this way.

 

[beakymagma]

WASD for movement.
Left Mouse for jump.
Right Mouse for spin.
1/2/3 set to respective customs.
Tab for first person.

Everything else is set to defaults. I do swap around for the rare time I play RS.

My fingers feel weird moving around all the time playing a game like this. So I try to keep things close as possible. Also it makes Ryder more fun to play

 

[GamingToday]

i use manual with a mouse and keyboard, i use mouse1 for jumping and mouse 2 for spin
for all the custom stuff i use e for custom 1, q for custom 2 and shift for custom 3
i also use the scrollwheel for next weapon and prev weapon and space and x for fire and fire normal (just incase a mod uses it)

 

[limeflavoredtree]

Okay, let me check...

Movement	WASD
Jump	Right Click
Spin	X
Customs 1, 2, and 3	Keyboard keys 1, 2... and 3.
First Person	V
Fire	Left Click
Toss Flag	Q
Next/Previous weapon	Scroll

 

[HenryStickminFan2]

now that i have an Xbox controller, i'll show you my control scheme for controller use

left stick	Movement
right stick	Camera
A (X on playstation)	Jump
RT (R2 on PS)	Spin
LT (L2 on PS)	Fire
LB (L1 on PS)	Fire Normal (i use it as the super cancel button with MMT)
left stick click	Toss Flag
B (O on PS) X (Square on PS) Y (Triangle on PS)	Custom 1 Custom 2 Custom 3

 

[Tripb85]

arrow keys to move
z to jump
x to spin
c, v, and b for custom 1 2 and 3
wasd for camera movement
t for centerview/lock-on to bosses
u to toggle first/third person (for when i tried playing samus)
r to reset the camera
tab for game status
p for pause
` for console menu
/ for toss flag
rctrl and ralt for fire and fire normal
. and , for next and prev weapon
and i dont use my mouse for the game

 

[*GOOFYRAT!*]

On casual games, I use the standard, however...
If you dare cross me, I shall use wasd to move, u and i to jump and spin, o for tossflag, [ and ] to switch weapons, p to fire, and jkl for customs 1 2 and 3.
