Mega Man Legends/Controls

Advanced Techniques
Walking: Hold the Search button and press a directional button to walk slowly instead of running.

Quick Turn: Hold a directional button and press the Search button to quickly turn to face in that direction.

Side Roll: Hold either Turn button and press the Jump button to quickly roll to one side. This can be used to dodge attacks.

Run in circles: Hold either the Move Left and Turn Right buttons or the Move Right and Turn Left buttons simultaneously to run in circles around enemies. This really confuses some bosses.

Roller Dash: If the Jet Skates are equipped, hold the Search button to Roller Dash. This lets you travel faster. Use the directional buttons to steer.
