Default button controls for Bayonetta 2, PlatinumGames' witch-action sequel, transcribed from Nintendo's electronic manual for the original Wii U release. The Switch port keeps the same layout, with the face buttons and triggers in the same places: punch and kick combos, a last-instant dodge on ZR that sets off Witch Time, lock-on on ZL, the Umbran Climax on L and Torture Attacks on punch plus kick. The Wii U GamePad's touch-screen alternatives and the Classic Controller Pro exceptions are left out.
