Can someone give me a summary of the combat controls for the 3ds system? Unforthunately, my internet is too slow for me to be able to download the demo.

[/QUOTE] you have a roll button, a center camera button, two attack buttons (one of them being the "draw weapon" button too, which is needed to start attacking), one item button (which is also the "put weapon away button", which you'll want to do often), one "special weapon ability" button (which is also the sprint button when not wielding anything), and you move with the circle pad. you can control the camera with either the Dpad, or with a digital Dpad on the touch screen. OR you can use the pseudo 'lock-on', which makes the center camera button move the camera to the monster, rather than your back. it works wonders.[/QUOTE] Thank you. Can you (or anyone else) kindly tell me what exact buttons(X, A, B, Y) are assigned to the two attack moves, roll maneuvers and special weapon ability move? Also, I'm guessing that there are attack combinations that are triggered by specific button presses (akin to fighting games)? I'm debating whether to purchase this title or not. If the combinations are too complex however, then I'd probably skip it. Thank you in advance.

X+A is an attack as well. there aren't that many unique attacks, it all depends on the weapon (they play VERY differently).[/QUOTE] Thank you so much.
