Rebind Button

What do you think of assigning different actions to one button? Should it be banned?

What benefits can come from this?

For trials speedrunning, it can help for wall jump cancel (by binding dash and jump to the same button) or specific strat's in some levels (jump + shoot in TowerForge III).

So I discussed that with members of the TowerFall discord and some Celeste speedrunners, and they seem to agreed that it should/could be allowed as long as the players are not using macros and it's fairly accessible. For the last point, I think that it's good because some steam feature let you rebind controls like that even with non steam game, and even without a third party app, I believe you can do the same (even though I never got it to work).

this is different for celeste because the game comes with that functionality by default. what about switch, xbox, playstation? what about non-steam installations?

France

As I said, for PC as long as you have Steam, you can rebind your controls with non steam game. Indeed I don't know how you could rebind on consoles, but I doubt anyone would try getting Trials WR on console (and I doubt at this point it is even possible)

IF there's not some game breaking thing that can happen I don't see why not. Honestly even if there was it's still good accessibility, so I don't really see why not
