Alternate names: Altered controls, Inverted controls
This commonly causes movement controls to be inverted though something more drastic is possible such as randomizing all controls.
A more recent variation causes characters to move erratically on their own while poorly responding to controls, possibly moving slightly off target and so forth.
Note: This is not for controller malfunctioning, only for intentional cases.
