10 Unexpected Ways To Master Challenging Video Game Mechanics

10. Remap Dash To A Shoulder Button - Mega Man X

The Mega Man X games have been widely criticised by players for their tricky, fiddly dash mechanic, largely because the default control scheme requires players to press a face button to dash.

This awkward placement makes it difficult for players to dash, shoot, and jump at the same time, basically requiring them to contort their hand into an uncomfortable claw shape to play effectively.

But this can be solved incredibly easily, so easily in fact that it may not have even crossed your mind.

With most modern games allowing players to remap control schemes to their liking, you're free to just... remap dash to one of the shoulder buttons.

Regardless of what type of controller you're using on whatever platform, this makes dashing so much more intuitive, and above all else should ensure you're not left with a horrible hand cramp after a lengthy play session.

Again, though, it's such a straight-forward solution to the issue - and yet a totally game-changing one - that you may well gloss over it entirely.
