Sandstorm’s In-Game Controls

According to Cosolix on Youtube, Sandstorm’s Brawlhalla Controls are pretty much the same as the default controls. However, a lot of players do not feel comfortable with the default keys. So, you don’t need to be using the same controls as Sandstorm if you are a huge Sandstorm fan. I believe that every player should follow the key binds with which they feel comfortable.
