When you have Simple Mode enabled, the Y (Light), X (Medium), A (Heavy), and B (Special) buttons work the same as the standard controls. However, the L, R, ZL, and ZR buttons work differently in simple mode.
Additional commands (including assists and tag) are tied to a combination of the L and R buttons and the A,B,X,Y buttons.
To turn Simple Mode on/off in VS Mode, please go to the "character select screen" and press the R button.
To turn Simple Mode on/off in Story Mode, please go to "Edit Teams" and press the ZR button.
