Which setting owns this input?

Follow one input.

Choose an input from an idle shot state, then match the enabled switches. This example explains which path owns it; it does not change your saved build or Zen.

You choose the button release

Hold Square / X, then release at your visual cue. RHYTHM TIME shapes the following release transition; it does not choose your physical hold.

Check: RHYTHM TIME

Which Button Shooting context?

Once Button Lock owns Square / X, the movement context selects Set, Move or Fade. A brief movement-history window means a newly centred stick can still use Move.

Input at press	Field
Standing, settled, no L2 / LT	SET TIME
Moving / recently moving, or stationary L2 / LT	MOVE TIME
Moving and holding L2 / LT	FADE TIME

This is a simplified idle-input explanation. It does not simulate every shot-in-progress guard, remapping option or gameplay animation. Test a single path at a time.
