I just got the Mayflash adapter. I can calibrate my controller in windows, but I can't get it working in the emulator. Is there a specific plugin I should choose? I've tried a lot of them (and I've unchecked raw data wherever I saw it), and nothing has worked.

 

[SadColor]

I think in some versions, you have to set the input method or whatever to the adapter. Newer ones don't need to do this.

EDIT: Talking about NRage how do I miss these obvious things weoiatgjklds;lkdfd

 

[Battlecow]

use Nrage v 1.61 or 1.83

I don't know why it wouldn't be working in emulator... you might be missing something simple?

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

make sure in the calibration that you use the c buttons as the x/y axis, then use one of the nrage plugins

 

[Battlecow]

wait, really? I always move the stick left and right for X axis and up and down for Y axis, are you sure it's supposed to be C buttons?

hey make sure in the little window you select "n64 adapter" or whatever instead of just leaving it on "none"

 

[Sangoku]

Nah it's the z-axis.

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

when it gets to that blue bar part, it's c buttons

hey is there an easier way to do dair off platforms without fastfalling? i like doing dairs with falcon off platforms but i always fastfall and SD. is it just gonna have to be long hours of practice until i get it..? also how do you approach with luigi... T-T

 

[asianaussie]

buffer down

Luigi never approaches. Ever.

Spoiler

mix up dash-ins with like, sh f-airs, luigi sucks at getting in

yea i just hate being campy but i love luigi :/

how would you buffer down? do you just hold down before going off the edge and let momentum do its thing? i still either keep fastfalling or crouching before the edge. is it a timing thing?

 

[asianaussie]

oh damn, i gave keyboard instructions, my bad

if you're using controller, just tilt ever so slightly down...guess you gotta go to practice mode for that, sorry :\

and if you are actually on keyboard, just hold the down button during the running animation, let go of forward once you're off the edge, then press A

press z(or hold r till u get a sheild[LOL]) then as you press down on the joystick, keep the joystick in the down position and press a or r; voila, platform dropped down air.

if you ALWAYS fastfall after platform dropping then either
A:you don't have practice with stick control for tilting/subtle horizontal movement, or
B:your settings are way too sensitive for your general way of play
IF A: practice running short hop up airs (lag cancelled) with fox in melee, no c-stick; or whatever you want i suppose...
IF B: turn ur range lower and ur deadzone higher(between 80-90 range and 5-8 deadzone may help)

hmm I think I may be talking about the wrong thing. I understand platform dropping with shield through platforms and that's not where I have the problem but I meant running off the dreamland edge and doing a soft dair. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlSp6xIl0PA#t=00m29s what I want to do is what Boom does at the end of this combo but running off if that makes sense.

 

[B Link]

That's pretty easy and self explanatory to do UNLESS you've got WEIRD SETTINGS or a WEIRD INPUT DEVICE

 

[Sangoku]

Or if you're Star King learn the timing for pressing A while you're going down with the joystick. This way you don't need to be sensitive with the joystick tilt (just smash it down), but you need to press A at the right time. If you don't understand why that would work, check the technical data thread.

what are some of your preferred methods to di?

because mine is NOT working

 

[meowmeowrainbowkitty]

I just DI like that one classic japanese vid, where the guy holds the stick to one side, then moves the entire controller up and down...**** DI. It works for me pretty well

(Also, side-question about DI...does anyone know what version the celaya folks are using? because I don't think I've seen much DI in the tourney vids)

 

[Battlecow]

they're playing (U) just like us, north and south america are both on the same version

they just have not-terribly-good DI

**** DI? I've never heard of this. Should I try this when I get home? o_o

 

[KnitePhox]

NEVER HEARD OF ****, maybe YBOMBB can show you FIRST HAND what it is when you guys "meet up" again for that "tourney," BTW your "pika" is going to have to get past his "jiggs;" you guys should "team" tho


lol, can be read with or without quotes

 

[meowmeowrainbowkitty]

THIS. (is how I DI. Only a bit faster.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8F13WU6ERY

 

[prisonchild]

i feel like it helps if the stick is a little looser to do that

 

[ballin4life]

that method of DI has never worked too well for me - feels like the stick doesn't move enough for it to register. although this might be due to bad stick range or poor ****ing ability.

 

[clubbadubba]

poor ****ing ability.

how? its like the only tech skill that's enjoyable to practice

and wintergreen, if it was your bday at some point recently, happy belated birthday \o/

 

[M!nt]

Thanks

I lol'd Mint. Also Peek isn't around to point out birthdays anymore. I remember I was gonna point out his last year in return for him always doing it but I forgot \(^o^)/

 

[prisonchild]

mario and luigi can get the same elevation on their tornado spins, but why does it seem so much harder to do it with mario?

 

[The Star King]

I would guess 'cause Mario falls faster afterwards so it feel like you got less

 

[KnitePhox]

also mare-e-o is shorter

 

[Hiphiphooray]

Hey guys, I got my online working perfectly and just need to invest in a solid controller now. Is there a consensus about which controller is the best for online play? I used a wired xbox controller for a while and it worked nicely but its only avialable online here. So, if I'm going online and playing about 50$ anyway, I figured I might as well get the best one possibly. How are the PS3 controllers, or the n64 adapters (i have several n64 controllers I could use)? I'd prefer wired just for the most reliable input without any delay.

thanks

n64 is always best...?

 

[Izuhu]

n64 is always best...?

Boomfan-chan why u question n64's greatness :<

Bad typo real bad typo :<

 

[WOTG]

K so im giving up on n64 controller. Can't stand the joystick anymore. Is a Hori much better and does it work with a mayflash adapter?

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

you need raphnet adapter to use hori controllers online, I linked it above ^

 

[Battlecow]

hori is better IMO

and you need a raphnet

 

[prisonchild]

how do you shield drop? i'm adding some tech skills to my arsenal and i feel shield dropping would be one of the more practical ones for continuing combos and just being faster in general.

 

[The Star King]

shield on a platform and press down
