Start with this layout

Keep light and medium attacks on the face buttons, heavy attacks on the right shoulder, and Drive actions on the left shoulder.

If it does not fit
  • Press LP + LK together for Throw
  • Keep Drive Impact and Parry on L1／L2 so their role stays separate from the attack buttons

There is no single correct layout. Check that every button feels comfortable in Training Mode.
