Bumper Staff and Dodge

Dodge with R1. Deflect projectiles with L1. R2 + L2 still works for activating your transformation due to an action layer. A menu action layer can be toggled on and off using Select which restores normal bumper behavior for use in menus. This mode is automatically enabled when you hit start and disabled when you move the left joystick to run, so I recommend using D-Pad in the menus.
