So I've been trying to figure out the best controller scheme for running this game for myself. Obviously selecting the "Arrange" option is key to avoid being grabbed by zombies. The problem I have with that option is that when the camera angle changes, when I try moving my analog stick to the proper direction, it spins me to some random direction I don't want to go to which is very annoying. So my question is, is there a specific controller scheme to select to fix that, or it's just something I need to get used to, to the specific analog stick movement with the camera angles?

It could be something to just get used to, but in most cases runners will switch between the d-pad and the analog stick depending on the situation and what's needed. You'll wind up getting a feel for when the analog stick is necessary and when it isn't, like quick dodges or turns that'll save a few frames.

Hi @NixIssues

Just to add to what @Voxgizer Said, it all comes with practice. The key to the camera angles is to hold your stick in the direction you are facing/ going in, for example. Say you've just entered the the Black Tiger room, if you just keep holding right to go to the web the camera will change. However, if you keep holding it in regardless of the camera change Chris/Jill will still go in that direction unless you change the direction on the analogue stick. So the key is to keep the direction you are facing even if the camera changes since the game will still recognize your initial direction and stay the course so to speak. Hope this helps you.

Arranged controls are the boss of this speedrun. You want to use it, because it can save time in addition to avoiding zombies. But it will screw you if you're not careful. The key is to use it exactly when you need it and nowhere else.

If you're starting out running the game, you're probably going to want to stick to dpad/tank controls in almost every situation except for avoiding zombies. Otherwise, every time you cross a camera transition and need to turn you're going to be spinning around or running the wrong direction for a second as you described, which loses time and is just generally really frustrating.

As BashyCake said, when you hit a camera transition with control stick, simply continuing to hold the control stick in the same direction, even if it's different than the direction you're now moving, will keep you moving in that direction. It's when you change your control stick direction after a camera transition that the game seemingly spazzes out. This creates some situations where using control stick can be optimal provided you don't need to turn after a camera change. But these situations are just something you'll pick up on as you run; I wouldn't encourage focusing on it while you're still learning the run.

Eventually you'll become comfortable enough with switching between dpad and stick that you'll be doing it all over the place.
