About Injustice 2 Controller Options

Injustice 2 Controller Options

RELEASE CHECK
When enabled, the game interprets button releases as a separate input. Release Check makes some timings on special move inputs easier, but you may get unintended “negative-edge” specials when doing quicker inputs. Of all the options, this one is generally recommended to turn off!

Consider enabling if the following occurs
- You notice special moves not coming out consistently because you pressed the button before completing the directional motion

Consider disabling if the following occurs
- You get a different special move than expected when canceling from normals


ALTERNATIVE CONTROLS
Stick motions more natural by including diagonal inputs, similar to games like Street Fighter, but it takes longer to input compared to the default setting. Characters with a large number of special moves like Atrocitus and Black Canary can run into problematic input overlaps with this setting

Consider enabling if the following occurs
- You’re uncomfortable doing back-forward special moves (they will become half circle forward)
- You have difficulty buffering special moves from a crouching position
- You get unintended back-forward specials when inputting command normals

Consider disabling if the following occurs
- You play a character that runs into overlapping special move inputs with this setting
- You prefer having simpler and faster inputs

INPUT SHORTCUTS
Adds input leniency to special moves so you can be "lazier" on some inputs, and also makes inputting moves easier when you're already in a crouch or holding back to block. But, you may get random specials in neutral, because the leniency on crouching causes the down input to be stored for a long period.

Consider enabling if the following occurs
- You have difficulty executing insta-air specials
- You have difficulty buffering special moves from a crouching position
- You have difficulty inputting command grab motions

Consider disabling if the following occurs
- Input leniency causes you to get random specials when attempting command normals

BUTTON SHORTCUTS
Button combinations are included for throw (1+3), interact (1+2), and flip stance (2+3). This makes it so you need fewer buttons to control the game, but fast inputs (Ivy's 12123) may overlap with Interactables (1+2) and mess you up in the heat of the match if not careful.

Consider enabling if the following occurs
- You prefer teching throws with the SF4/SFV input (LP+LK in SF would be 1+3 in Inj2)
- You’re uncomfortable with having to use all 8 buttons on a fightstick/hitbox
- You’re uncomfortable with having to use trigger levers for inputs on control pad

Consider disabling if the following occurs
- Inputting strings causes you to get accidental interactables
- Grabbing with 1+3 causes you to get an attack instead of a throw
- Interacting using 1+2 causes you to get an attack instead of the interaction
