TOUCHPAD Controls
With the PS4 DUALSHOCK 4 controller now having a dedicated "Share" button, many PS4 titles
have been using the touchpad as a substitute "Select" button to bring up menus or perform
shortcut options that would have normally been done with a "Select" button on a PS3 version
of the game, and for other special options that can be accessed by swiping or touching different
areas of the touchpad. Below are some example usage:
-
In Street Fighter V, touchpad can be used to display or hide battle info and resetting
character position to middle, left, or right of the stage in training mode.
-
In Ultra Street Fighter IV, pressing touchpad lets you do button configuration while on
the character select screen and show button inputs for how to do combos while in
challenge modes.
-
In Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, pressing touchpad resets character position to the center of
stage in practice mode. Holding Left or Right and then pressing the touchpad resets
character position to the left or right side of the stage.
-
In Mortal Kombat X, touchpad is used to enter chat mode while in an online lobby.

L3 and R3 Buttons
In addition to the touchpad, some games also use the L3 and R3 buttons for additional
supplemental controls. Below are some example usage:
-
In Street Fighter V training mode, L3 can be used to reset back to the last applied
training setting. R3 can be used to cycle through dummy status options.
-
In Ultra Street Fighter IV training mode, R3 can be used to store a memory state, such as
right after landing a special attack. Pressing touchpad lets you quickly restore to this
memory state so you can practice what to do after certain situations.
-
In Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, L3 is used to switch control and record your training dummy's
actions and R3 is used to play this training dummy action back, allowing you to practice
against recorded sequences.

LED Lightbar Functionality
In PS3 mode, know exactly which player you are with individual LEDs indicating your number.
In PS4 mode, the LEDs lights up different colors for PS4 Lightbar functionality. Often used to
assign colors (Blue, Red, Green, Purple) for the different player profiles that are signed into the
PS4 console, the Lightbar can change colors depending on status of the game. For example, the
Lightbar can shine Green when in good health, Yellow at okay health, and Red when in critical
health. This feature will be dependent if the game provides such data.
