Pro Tip for DBFZ PC Players
While the default layout (U, I, J, K) mimics a controller’s face buttons, many competitive players prefer remapping these to a “Hitbox” style layout (using Space for Jump and the Numpad for attacks) to improve execution speed for quarter-circle inputs.
Note: These controls are based on the standard PC/Steam default settings. You can further customize these keybindings in the “Options” menu under “Button Settings.”
