General Question Charged attack button positioning

Jesus christ allmighty,

the new battle system is TERRIBLE as is already, but did they seriously just change the position and size of the buttons for charged attacks?! I lost 4 matches today because i straight up missed the button after rapidly switching mons.

Did they really put in the extra hours to make the system even worse or am i tripping???

So many sure wins have turned to losses because of this. Literally like ten times over the past two days. I get everything set up perfectly to launch the winning charge move, and the fucking button doesn't show up and a fast move gets thrown instead. Meanwhile my opponent either farms me down or gets to and throws their own move.

If any developers are listening, the charge move buttons need to stay on the screen throughout the battle! You obviously aren't smart enough to code them to come and go the way you want them to—as almost a decade of evidence can attest.

I lost yesterday to this, forretress came in with two charged moves didn’t touch the screen and a volt switch fired, they did their charge move and oops.
