Changing game controls ( PS, xBox Controllers )
This idea will not only make the game better and more flexible to different users ( Lefty, Righty ).
(Because some people might like to use different buttons over ZXCV.)
Plus it will make the game more suitable to be on consoles
Which is another way for the dev.s to make money.

It might sound like too much effort. But no in-fact all it takes is, for us to be able to change controls to (press button to set as eg.Neck)
Similar to a lot of other games.
(Keep in mind this doesn't mean we HAVE to change the controlls)
But For example this could be a list of both the new controlls+Old controlls
1.Neck
2.Chest
3...
And besides those we could have
19...
20.Extend/contract
21.Relax/Hold
This way the people who prefer the old way can play the old way.

You might ask how could we play on a PS controller, when Toribash has 20 joints.
But the PS controller has near 12?
A/Combinations

Before i explain i just want to clear out, this idea is NOT meant to be to make the game available to consoles. I'm just saying it will make the game more suitable. I personally would like to play on PC but with a PS controller.

Now that that's cleared out.
Making the game's controls change-able by "Press button to set" type of setting.
The players will figure out how they want it to be set
But this is how i would play it, and what i think will be a good default setting.

Bring up chat=Select
Camera Zoom in/out=Right joystick up/down
Camera spin= Left joystick left/right
Camera angle up/down = left joystick up/down

Joints: (pressed once to change to next state [Similar to clicking on the joint] )

Neck=Triangle
Chest=Square
Lumbar=Circle
ABS= X

R Wrist= Up arrow + R1
L Wrist= Up arrow + L1
R Elbow= Left arrow + R1
L Elbow= Left arrow + L1
R Shoulder= Right arrow + R1
L Shoulder= Right arrow + L1
R Pec= Down arrow + R1
L Pec= Down arrow + L1

R ankle = Up arrow + R2
L ankle = Up arrow + L2
R knee = Left arrow + R2
L knee = Left arrow + L2
R hip = Right arrow + R2
L hip = Right arrow + L2
R glute = Down arrow + R2
L glute = Down arrow + L2

Besides all the other good things about making this.
You also need to know how cool it will be to use a controller to control the Tori.
It will feel a lot more alive, after a week of using a PS controller, and having our hands used to them
Then smashing all buttons at once to execute a move without thinking about it, it just feels much greater.

FAQ:
Q1:
Don't you think getting used to a controller will be reaaaaaally difficult?
A1:
There can be a way to play the old way too.
And no I don't think it would take more than 1 week to get highly used to it.
Most of us spent years on the game. so we are all patient people who are willing to spend some time on it.

You can't fight change. You can't fight nature.
