Teleport will move you in the direction you're holding, and costs a paltry amount of MP (20, I think?). So, while you shouldn't pull a Nightcrawler and *bamf* all over the place, it's a very serviceable escape plan.
Button info is pretty straightforward - X = jump, Square = normal attack, O = power attack R1 = dodge. The specifics change for each character tho - and that's too much to write out.
Is there any way to remap the controls? O as power attack instead of triangle is kind of weird.
Is triangle mapped to anything right now?
