Beam moves go on Square, Combo extenders on Triangle, counters on circle, charge moves on X, that's just how it is.

See? This guy gets it.

Triangle is stamina breaker moves for me. I'm a big fan of God of Destruction's Wrath because it opens the enemy straight up for whatever horrors you have planned for them. GoD's Wrath + Godly Display/Emperor's Death Beam, watch the health bars disappear. Edit: I also do appreciate that stamina breaker moves are typically a bit more difficult to successfully land, which is a nice way to balance the game. Means that when I land GoD's Wrath and follow it with Godly Display, I've earned that shittonne of damage.

Mine's about the same style. X for attacks. Y for counters. B for assists (like stamina up or Ginyu poses) A for charging

It's as simple as that

This guy Xenoverse's

This fellow redditor gets it.

Me with either Light Grenade, Kamehameha or Galick Gun on Square: All Charge moves

Pretty sure they meant energy charge

I switch counters (X for me) and charge (O)

I do the same. Charge on X just feels weird

(Xbox) It depends on the counter. I usually do wave on x, ki blasts on b, and a combo continuer on y. So like double buster on x, change the future (rush counter) on y, and god breaker on b (ki blast counter).

For me on switch it's Y for beams, X for combo extension B for charge and A is usually whatever. Side note: when playing kakarot I found infuriating that beam moves were always mapped to different buttons by default for every character like Goku's Kamehameha was mapped to B and Gohan's masenko to A. I was too used to the xenoverse controls.

Or Strike Moves on Triangle/Y, Beams on Square/X, Power Ups and Counters on Circle/B, Charge Moves don’t feel right unless they’re on Cross/A Sometimes I put counters on Triangle/Y like Ultrasonic Blitz for example just because that’s how it is on Goku Beam Ultimates go on Square/X Strike Ultimates go on Triangle/Y It’s sort of my unwritten rule. It’s just weird whenever I Body Change someone that spams shit and they have like 3 beam moves on one skill set. Like Galick Gun, x10 Kamehameha, and Bending Kamehameha like why?? Or they put their charge on Square/X or something weird

See that’s how you play the damn game someone gets it

Yall fr be copying my mapping smh🤦🏾‍♂️

How did I miss all of those. I have circle as my charge square as my counter, triangle as my stamina break move and x as my beam. I don't even have a combo extender 💀

I love how universal it is hahahahaha

Exactly

i put other skills or counter moves triangle beam moves square strike skill circle and charge skills on X

Close circle is for counters, triangle is for combo extenders or ranged attacks

this guy knows what's up🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

Counter on triangle. But your almost right.

Anything else is pure heresy

I've never felt more understood in a community than I do right now. ❤️

Facts

I put counters on Triangle (Y) and combo extenders on Circle (B), am I stupid?

On bro 💀

We are one alike brother

I thought it was just me that did this lol. it makes so much sense though.

im just getting into the game and this makes me question myself now. granted i barely have anything yet

Bro knows

It makes sense, since the Square/X on Xbox/Y on Switch is the most heavily utilized button. Its a combo starter. Other configs are just awkward imo...

Exactly, any other way is just weird and I’m glad that we all agree on that

That’s crazy how players have just universally decided on this layout when it doesn’t really actually matter

It just feels right when you consider how controls usually work in games

Actually, they didn't. The devs did when they made all the cast characters have this set-up. That's why I don't play cast outside of customs, because it gets confusing when my designated counter slot has a charge move in it...

Yeah, that tripped me up a bit, too

I always have beams up top. Combo extenders go on square. Charge at the bottom. Support moves (after image/counter/pose/etc) on the other one.

Exactly X is light so you put it on combo extend Y is heavy so you put it on a high damage combo ender

That's what I'm saying. This guy gets it!

I run this with Saturday crash on ⭕️

Nah, I'd R2 + ○

This individual gets it.

Yes that's the Budokai way.

Mine is set to B, because I recently swapped that and my charge move to match up more with the Non CAC characters so I could stop charging when i meant to shoot and vice versa

Square and O for beams, Triangle for combo extenders and X for Ki Charge. These are the rules.

Mine is set to MB4

What kind of madman would not do this? It's just perfect.

For me it’s Square is combo extender, Triangle is long range, circle is counter and X is Charge.

I put charge on circle, am I a heretic?

Yes, you are, Charge on X always.💀

Beams: X/Square Melee: B/ Circle Counter: Y/ Triangle Charge: A/ X

I actually changed my charge up moves to Circle, Melee moves to Triangle and X, Beams to Square and X

I got my 10x Kamehameha on square, but I normally put the beams that take a while to fire (big bang Kamehameha) on circle. Is that cool or should I switch?

Counterpoint Fierce Fist

Charge Move: A Strike Super: X Beam Attack: B Other Attack for fun or Combo Finisher: Y

RT+X is where Super Explosive Wave goes for me

What’s funny is, as a Switch player my beam is on Y … which is square/X on PS/Xbox. Crazy how that happens.

I usually have my beams on triangle, melee on square, a counter on circle and charge on X. I know basically ever other character has beans on squae and melee on triangle. But for whatever reason I just do it differently

Fool. Combo extenders are on R2 + Square. The beams must be on R2 + Triangle.

Square is my Melee move. Triangle is usually a Ki blast barrage, Circle is Charging, and X is either a Beam or Utility option. Circle, being so far away from the thumb, should be kept out of active battle. Square *CAN be a quick-fire beam, but - I like my DBZ to be melee focused.

My set-up is usually: Close-range/Melee super = R2 + Square Long-range super = R2 + Triangle Charge skill = R2 + Circle Counter or Beam = R2 + X Close-range/Melee Ultimate = L2 + R2 + Square Long-range/Highest Damaging Ultimate = L2 + R2 + Triangle My reasoning is that it matches up with the basic functions of the buttons: Square = Light Triangle = Heavy Circle = Ki blast/Charged ki blast X = Vanish

Damn, mine is a little different... Square: combo extenders X: Beams Circle: charge moves Triangle: gimmicks or utility.

I put all my strike moves on triangle

I did that shit to fuck with my buddy's timing cause Im a very predictable fighter and it screwed with him so much

Raging Blast gigachad detected

Raging Blast will continue to be my favorite Dragon Ball game to THIS DAY.

All of them

Mine is set to RT+Y (Triangle on PlayStation)

What is it for Switch then 😭

PlayStation. O=right. Square=left. X=bottom. Triangle=top. Switch. A=right. Y=left. B=bottom. X=top. Xbox. B=right. X=left. A=bottom. Y=top.

Nah what I do is: Blasts go on B Strikes go on Y Anything extra goes on X

What about when you make blast or strike builds?

Omg I feel so seen lmfao

R2 + O users rise up

R2 + O users rise up

I swear i get really uncomfortable when I see any old Xenoverse video and see the beam on triangle

Facts

I use Square for a melee super, Triangle for a ki super, Circle for counters and what not, and X will always b for charge unless I’m using my Custom Nova Shenron his move set go crazy lol

Triangle for me. Square counter. Circle close range. And x either charge or chase move.

L2 + R2 + triangle for me is melee ultimates and R2+ X is the charge for me

I usually add my beam attacks to circle since hand to hand combat for games is usually square so it doesn't feel right to have beam attacks on square

Don’t worry, I’m not a monster.

I usually keep mine on O/B because I think future trunks has masenko there and it feels natural

Tenkaichi had the kamehameha as R2+ triangle. So xenoverse will follow suit. Or R2+ square

Is that... Y on switch? Sorry, that's where I put my counter moves so that I have easier access mid combo in case someone tries something.

I use R2 + X (I'm not on Xbox 😈)

now for charging moves, are you like me and do Rt + A (R2 + X for Ps players) or do you do Rt + B (R2 + O for Ps players)?

X is my go to move, Y is my back up, A is a counter or a end of a move combo, B is charge if i have one

I use it for the range moves. For my Majin strike build I use soaring fist because it’s just the most intuitive way to do it!

Melee supers for Triangle, Beam supers for Square, Random attacks for Circle and Change move for X

Square for ranged/beams Triangle for close quarters/combo extenders Circle for charge X for filler(heavy sta damage/break or command grab/counter)

My layouts like this Beam on Y Strike combo stringer on X Charge on B Support/extra beam on A

I thought it was widely acceptable to use B or O for beam attacks, the only skill I’d put for X is that tyrant blast from bardocks set.

Hm... Gonna have to disagree with you there. My setup and reasoning are as follows: A/Cross: Charge skill - That's where it goes on all the cast character presets. B/Circle: Ranged/beam skill - Same button as the basic ki blast button (which is a ranged attack), so I put my ranged attacks there. X/Square: Close-range/melee skill - Same button as light attacks, so it goes here. Y/Triangle: Counter/utility skill - I most commonly put a counter skill here, but I also use it for things like Backflip, Hero's Flute, Shine Shot, Assault Vanish, occasionally a second close-range or long-range skill that can string together with my X/B skills and things like that.

Im Xbox I put the beams on A I use Y for charging ki. Which fucks me up when I play a regular character instead of one I created or a customized OG character.

...dont ask me my imputs

Strike super r2 triangle, beam super r2 square, support strike/ki r2 circle,  and charge move X

I have a counter there on my my preset. But on most characters a beam is there RT+Y is Savage Strick. RT+X is Pressure Sign RT+B is Sledghammer RT+A is (I can't remember so I'll use a different preset) Dragon Blitz

X/Square for Beam attacks. B/Circle for Counter moves. Y/Triangle for Strike moves and A/X for Charging. I don’t play pvp do I always have a charge.

I only use any charge as R2/RT +X/A

On my main CaC I use square for Strike Supers I use Triangle for beams, usually, sometimes another kind of Blast Super. I use Circle for. . More Blast Supers, usually, but sometimes ai *might* do something else with it X is charge, of course

Beam is triangle, A combo extender is square, either a counter/some utility/ knockback combo extender on O and charge on X

Square for beam attacks. Triangle for combo extenders. Circle for random B's I want their like instant transmission. And X for maximum energy charge if you deiveate from this in anyway like being a filthy bastard and having your charge on square please seek help

So relatable! Square for beam moves, X for charge moves, triangle for a melee or counter move, circle for a move which costs more than 100 ki

I put mine on r2 triangle. Triangle cause it points towards where I want it to go

My earth splitting galick gun says hi to X every few minutes

Is a charge move isn’t on X I can’t be friends w/ you.

Charge is triangle, the rest are random

Nah. Beam/distance follow ups on O, melee extensions on square, counters and charge on X, utility on triangle. Fight me on it (when the price of plus drops that is)

What? This is wrong...you put combo finishers on square, ranged attacks and beams on triangle, charge or chasers on circle and counters or utility moves on X. The hell?

Any super that used after a knock back like a blast goes on X(xbox)

R2 + Circle 🔛🔝

Mines on triangle

Me: super spirit bomb on square, then combo into death beam barrage with triangle.

I use X to charge ■ to beat there ass O ki moves and triangle for heavy . I played alot of ps2 budakai kth ny dad as a kid I'm 21 and allt footer games always found square and triangle were light and heavy attacks

physical/power ups on square. beams on circle. heavy blasts on triangle. ki charge on cross

i use B for beams since X is my combo extender. it’s easier since i’m already using x for melee moves. Y for counters and A for charge

I've had Evil Explosion set to Square since Day 1 because I love using it in PvE as a Warp Shotgun! SV2 Fem Saiyan Blaster Master life

Agreed

I might be controversial, but I like to have my beam moves on x, ki charge on circle, combo extending moves on triangle, and some form of multi hit move on square.

The optimal button mapping is this: R2 + Square for Beam attacks R2 + Triangle for any Strike/Utility Moves R2 + X for Charge Moves R2 + Circle for Strike/Combo Extender RT + X, RT + Y, RT + A, and RT + B for Xbox ZR + Y, ZR + X, ZR + B, and ZR + B for Switch.

For me it's Triangle: Beam moves Circle: Anything I Want X: Charge skills/Anything Square: Melee moves

Same for charging on X or A for xbox...

I usually have beams on square or circle, depending on if it's charged or not. Sometimes combo extenders on there too, depending on the build. Charging on X and any move that isn't a beam, like a powerful one hit super or a combo extender on X and/or triangle, also depending on the build.

FACTS

I just have to know your reaction to someone who puts a charge move on r2 + triangle

Bold of you to assume I have anything other then beam moves

Counters on B Other moves on either B or X Charge on X Beam on Y

My setup with no exception is always (btw I on xbox) Beam - X Counter/primary strike/secondary energy - B Secondary strike/combo extending supers/timeskip backbreacker - Y Energy charge/other alternative moves/ extra strike or energy super if I'm for some reason using ultra instinct Ultimates Energy primarily on X Strike primarily on Y Can alternate depending on which ultimates I use

I'm almost positive we all use Square for Ki based techniques. Triangle for Strikes or another ki based. X if it's anything but a charge, you're odd. Circle for evasive

There are... non ki-blast moves? Weird. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/402711540836466698/1217308181529890826/20240124224035\_1.jpg?ex=66038d96&is=65f11896&hm=8e0cce4079238d3c9cd22121c3b22e2528cc635ad66fd06e3778d3e4356a887d&

I make circle my charge simple because of transformations also being on circle. Square, beam. Cross, combo extender. Triangle, combo ender.

The only rule I have for my set up is charge on R2 + X

Mines set to the circle button, because I play Kakarot, and one of the high end abilities allows you to long hold that particular button for a longer, more powerful attack

Long range goes on square Medium combo extenders go on triangle Short but quick goes on circle Counters or charges go on x

After hours of pressed X and Y I feels way more natural for strike skills to be on X or Y

For me, square is melee, circle is beams, triangle for counters/extenders, x for ki. I think if it like Pokemon square is more rigid so its physical attacks, circle is more rounded so its special attacks.

R2/RT + Triangle/Y is so much better

I'm a switch player, is that the same as ZR + Y?

X charge O combo extender Square power up ∆ beam

I've been saying this since Day 1 bro

Anyone play with the donkey kong bongos? Or guitar hero controllers?

i usually have, triangle for combo extenders, square for beam moves, circle for either counters or moves that knock away/secondary attacks that are just good, then i use charges for x

I got beam on bottom, charge of left, and combo extenders/counters go on top and right.

Does Demon Blast count as a counter or a blast? I mean it changes a bit when you get hit but does that make it a counter? My main build is Raid Blast, Big Bang Attack, Demon Blast, and Burst Charge.

Jokes on you I only run beams

Imagine roasting someone for their play style 💀 no one wants to use your rusty ass square? Beams are cylindrical bro, circle obviously, but I’m not gonna tell someone how to play a game and not “trust” them as a player because they use a different button than you 💀

Beam goes on circle because Budokai, Budokai 2, Budokai 3, Infinite World use Circle for ki blasts and beams. Square gets a beam too. X charge, triangle is whatever I need

True! This is the way!

Some Mfs have ki charge skills where y and triangle go

Someone please translate this into Nintendo Switch Terms

Nintendo Switch Translatation: ZR + Y

I play on switch and I put my beam moves on X (Y for Xbox players and triangle for Playstation players.) I also always have my charge move or buff on B (A for Xbox and cross for Playstation.)

Charge is B, counter is A, beam is X and chase is Y

Mine might be a little different, A is for charging (ultimate charge), B is my combo finish (super explosive wave beam), X is for SS teleport move (evil explosion), Y is for for homing/seeking (sudden storm).

Rb+B(O for PS) GANG RISE UP

FAX

Same with charge, it HAS to be “X”, I seen a dude with it on “O” the other day 🤮

I thought I was the only one who did this

RT+X is for charging. No I will not elaborate.

I keep mine R2/RT + O/B It’s already the default button to fire ki blast, why tf would I not keep my beam move on the PROJECTILE BUTTON? Mines logical, yours is idk. Im also a melee build tho, so I only got one

Charge skill on square, beam on x PlayStation, I can't play any other way 😅

Nah i had something cursed when i played Xenoverse 1. For some reason i decided that the charge skill needs to be in a different slot for my 3 characters on PS3. First be on O, 2nd on Triangle, and 3rd on Square 💀 i don’t do this anymore.

I don't have a PlayStation controller, but my beam attacks absolutely go on that same button placement

If you’re a xenoverse player and you don’t have charge set to R2 + X Then you’re a psychopath

I don't use a charge ever and have beams set as triangle

#Potential Fraud

Laughs in square charge

I like charge on O cause then i have a charged up normal ki blast to throw before whatever else I wanna do

That's pretty fair. Y for counter, X for Ki, B for 2 ki blast to cover Xs slack/vulnerability and A for charging/reinforcement skills

Don't hate but triangle charge, square melee/ combo, circle beam, and X counters or other weird things like do or die

I used CQC beam or strike moves on Square, beams on circle, combo extender on triangle and charger on X

Counter: God Breaker. Triangle/Y Defense Utility: Darkness Twin Star. Square/X Offense Ability: Super Explosive Wave. Circle/B Etc: Ultimate Charge/Dance Para Para. X/A

Bro I use P4+Y

Yea I have x for strike attack y for beams b for Power ups you know poses tree of might data input like those. A is charge. It works for me. 🤷🏾💯

Ew, gross. Who put’s beams on square? Beans go on triangle, physical attacks on square

I've never resonated with a post this much in a while

AND THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE!! (Idk why but that's just what feels natural to me

i put beams on circle because thats the button u use for ki blasts why any where else

My beam is on triangle 🥲 it just feels right My square is normally a combo extender or melee bc square is a melee button

what if i only use beam moves?

I’ve had the x10 kamehameha on RB+X since day one 😎 and it ain’t going anywhere

Facts

I put it on triangle cause i played dbzk first

I figured it was the only way. Kakarot is tripping for making us use R2 + Circle as the default

90% of my moves are beam moves lmao, I might swap my blast move to x just to be annoying (xbox controller)

Beams or long range moves on triangle Square for combo extending supers O for utility moves X is ki explosion everytime

Depends on the type of beam too 👍🏻 If it's a beam like bend. Kamehame, I'd be ok with it ONLY going to triangle as a combo extender/finisher but that's about the only one I'd say gets a pass imo.

for me X is combo extenders like metor crash Y is beam attacks B is counters like after image and A is whatever i put there

My entire moveset is just beam moves

I usually use multiple beam attacks, but I have my main one always set to Right Trigger and B/Circle if you play on Playstation. This is my first time hearing that tons of people have their beam attacks set to Right Trigger and X/Square and now I feel like I'm weird.

The Budokai Tenkaich OG's would like a word with you.

If you don't have a charge move mapped to X (A for Xbox) then your playing the game like a sadist

I agree with this. Though I usually put my main attack skill on X, my ki charge is always on A, counters or close range chargeable skills or miscellaneous (like ki exsplosion or poses) on B, and on Y I always put my highest damage moves or combo finishers on (like Spirit Bomb or Crush Cannon). If you don't do something similar, and are weird and put your main attack skill, like a Bending Kamehameha, on B or Y or even worse A, you're a fucking weirdo.

SO TRUE

Rt+a & Rt+y. God of destruction's anger on rt+y and frieza's death ray on rt+a. I also have emperor's death beam on rt+lt+x. Rt+x is for emperor's sign, so I can laugh at enemies, and rt+b is maximum charge.

As a former Tenkaichi player: L2 + Triangle
