MARVEL Tōkon Controller Support & Controls — DualSense, Keybinds & Fight Sticks
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls controller support explained: DualSense features on PC, fight stick compatibility, full controls and keybinds, and the Quick Skill input mode.
MARVEL Tōkon Controller Support & Controls — DualSense, Keybinds & Fight Sticks
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a fighting game first, which means controller support is a first-class feature — including full DualSense haptic support on PC, one of the game's advertised PC features. Here's what's supported, how the controls map out, and how to configure your setup.
Controller Support Overview
| Controller | PC support | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DualSense (PS5) | ✅ Full | Haptic feedback + adaptive triggers advertised as a PC feature; Episode Mode panels use haptics |
| DualShock 4 | ✅ Full | Standard pad support |
| Xbox controller | ✅ Full | Fully mapped; no haptics layer |
| Arcade stick / leverless | ✅ Full | Works via Steam Input; Arc's games have native stick support |
| Keyboard | ✅ | Fully rebindable |
The game is built on Arc System Works' standard input model, so any controller the Steam Input layer can see works — including fight sticks and leverless controllers (Hit Box style). The PS5 version adds the full DualSense experience: haptic feedback on super hits, adaptive trigger resistance on certain moves, and the Episode Mode's motion-comic panel haptics (see the Episode Mode walkthrough).
The Steam store page lists "DualSense controller support — Feel every super-powered blow with the immersive haptic feedback of the DualSense wireless controller" as a PC feature. It's wired in properly, not a bare XInput emulation — you get the haptic layer over USB.
The Default Controls
Every character uses the same four attack buttons:
- Light / Medium / Heavy / Unique — the attack quartet; Light chains into Medium into Heavy.
- Assemble — the assist button; calls your assist character's attack.
- Tag — active tag; swaps control to a teammate (once unlocked).
- Quick Skill — one-button special (Quick Skill input mode only).
- Movement: walk, jump, double-tap forward/back to dash.
Traditional motion inputs (quarter-circle, etc.) work alongside Quick Skill in the same match — you can mix one-button specials with motion-input specials freely.
Rebinding: Keyboard and Controller
Rebinding is done in-game via Options → Controls:
- Open the Controls menu from the main menu or pause screen.
- Select the action you want to rebind.
- Press the new input. Both keyboard keys and controller buttons are rebindable per action.
- Save the profile. Settings sync via Steam Cloud (see system requirements).
There are also two control presets for gamepad users — the default Arc layout and an alternate layout — switchable from the same menu.
Fight Stick & Leverless Notes
Arc System Works games have long supported arcade hardware natively, and Tōkon continues that:
- Sticks map to the standard 8-button layout (Light/Medium/Heavy/Unique + Assemble/Tag + extras).
- Leverless controllers work via Steam Input; set the layout to "Fightpad" or map manually.
- Input latency on stick is on par with pad — the game's netcode and input handling are the same regardless of controller type (see patch notes for netcode status).
There's no controller advantage in Tōkon's design — Quick Skill inputs make pad play as execution-viable as stick play. Pick the controller that feels right; the tier list is unchanged by input device.
