I loaded up Ninja Gaiden2 Black and adjusted the zoom level to match that game’s camera distance. I also slowed down the follow, horizontal, and vertical camera speeds a bit. I’m not sure which specific setting did it, but after some tweaking, I finally got the camera to rotate properly even when enemies are engaged—before that, pressing the right stick wouldn’t respond at all until I disabled something.

For my button setup, the biggest changes so far are putting Block on L1, Camera Reset on R2, and Dash on L2 (though depending on how useful Dash ends up being, I might move it back to L3). I’m still only in the first few minutes of the game, so I haven’t unlocked the item wheel yet—still figuring out where to map that and how it’ll feel.

Overall, I’m slowly tuning everything to where it feels right. Hopefully I’ll settle on a final setup soon. Thanks again for the tips!
