The dpad control is working like as a slow analog displacement, for example, if you press right, the character doesn't move, not until happens about 1/4 second, and then, he doesn't stop walk when I release the direction... that happens on menus too... so, the game forces you to play with analog stick.
Another thing that I found pretty frustrating, is that there's no any setting to let you run with double tapping instead of have to use a button.

The controls are abysmal and setting them up is very unintuitive. I can't move in diagnols! Only in a 4 way direction.

I also experience this same lag when trying to move. It's so odd.
