Like the description says, this is both a short guide and controller remap mod. I got tired of seeing people complain about either going with dodge mco/dxp and missing out on npc dodge, or not getting perfect player dodge. This allows you to use distar's dodge mod for the player and Tudm reborn for the npcs. It can be played without the other mods listed but then this wouldn't be short combat overhaul guide (seriously, its short and can be done within 10 minutes of installing within mo2).

I noticed a lot of people talking about dodge mco and wanting npc dodge, but not wanting the other options. I'm here to remedy that with this fix I discovered. This works on 1.6.1170 (version I use!). Then I went down the rabbit hole and overhauled the combat using other mods. I also didn't want to use gamepad++.

Ocpa ng
Elden equip
This mods download provided 

INSTRUCTION (install and activate as you go)
1. Install attack and dodge mcp/dxp and all their requirements. Ensure if using 1.6.1170 you click the blue hyperlinks for 1.6.1170. This fix doesn't work with pandora engine yet. So stick with nemesis
2. Install ocpa ng. This will make attack mco and my custom controlmap make sense.
3. Install the ultimate dodge mod reborn and tudm spid. Optionally crouch sliding too and its patch.
4.In nemesis, update engine, tick all your nemesis mods and drag and drop to ensure that tudm is ran before dodge mco/dxp, so above it (nemesis is drag and drop), but leave it unticked. Update engine again and launch. For security, now tick tudm, update and launch again. Do this everytime you need to run a new nemesis mod but do the steps last. If you mess up, start nemesis like this again. If you don't do this, sometimes your character will stand in place after a dodge and trying to dodge again.
5. Install vanilla sprint.
4.install elden equip.
Install my control map (I use mo2, but vortex should work. Unsure about wrye bash and how it works.) 

MCM settings
For ocpa ng, set your power attack as RB and dual wield power attack as LB
For tudm set sneak as Ls.
Not mcm, but reset controls in settings to default for my control map to take affect.
