Keyboard?

[Wrap It Up]

Well, a question about what controls you guys use for the keyboard. The way I play doesn't feel right, so I wanna know how you guys use the keyboard.

 

[†¹Ãgøn¥¹†]

I've been using my keyboard controls since like 5 years and no ONE has the same controls as me, I swear..


A,S,D,F = Up,Down,Left,Right

C,V,B,N,M,(,) = Start,Taunt(L),A,B,Grab(R),Dodge(Z)

Yup, my controls are all in rows, everybody that tried my controls were just like ''Fawk it I can't play with those'' Lol.

 

[MattNF]

Z, X, C = A, B, R
Spacebar = Z
A = L
home, delete, end, page down = up, left, down, right
insert = c up
left, down, right on arrow keys = c left, down and right

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

My settings

Left Arrow Right Arrow Up Arrow Down Arrow for left right up and down

A is D
B is F
S is Space
L is Z
R is A
Z is S

 

[Zantetsu]

I have a similar set up to an n64 controller.

Keyboard=Controller
W= Up
A= Left
S= Down
F= Right
J= A
M= B
KL<>: C stick buttons
U= Z
I= R
Y= L

For the most part, this is how an N64 controller is except I switched A and B around so it's easier to get to A since it's a major button. I started picking up keyboard when I had my laptop in the car on road trips and things like that. I got used to it fast and I can say that I could be a keyboard main if I used it for a month or so.

Note: I use Shift as an alternate Z because, for some reason, I seem to use it for teching. My shielding and canceling go to U though =\

 

[Winston]

I must have the weirdest keyboard control setup.

I use the arrow keys as the joystick, right ctrl as R, numpad 0 for Z, - on numpad for A, Num Lock for B.

 

[Xelgand]

Mine is just normal, trying to emulate N64's buttons distribution

w,a,s,d = up, left, down, right

g= start

u= c-up
h= A
j= B
k= Z
i = R
y = L

1,2,3= the others C (i don't know if they're useful in smash64, 'cause i only use c-up for jump/short jump)

 

[NixxxoN]

Keyboard=Controller
W= Up
A= Left
S= Down
F= Right
J= A
M= B
KL<>: C stick buttons
U= Z
I= R
Y= L

lol I almost have exactly the same! To simulate the N64 controller positions is a good idea. But... why you have the right button separate? and why dont you use the spacebar for Z? its very useful.

 

[Superstar]

I use Keyboard on Kaillera, I want an adaptor, but my control scheme:

Arrow Buttons: Control Stick
5: A
1: B
6: Z
+: R
-: L
7,8,9,/: C buttons
Insert: Start [used to be enter but I'd accidentely pause].

The nmbers are on the numpad. And on Mupen, I set 4 to the 50% controller modifier, I'd use the NRage plugin but then my opponents can't move, maybe if I DL the latest version.

 

[ChivalRuse]

a=left
d=right
s=down
w=jump
z=a
x=b
c=r/l
v=2ndary jump (for SH)
f=z
e=taunt
q=pause

I use my left hand for control stick and right for everything else except pause and taunt.

 

[Zen Yore]

wow you guys are really ****ed up o_o

 

[Zantetsu]

I didn't mean to put F for my right. I meant D >_<. And spacebar seems to off for my likings. I like things closer

 

[killa k]

Direction Keys: UP, Down, Left, Right

Caps Lock: A
A: B (lol may sound confusing)
Enter: Start
Q: L
W: R
Tab: Z
S: for shorthopping

 

[ALiAsVee]

Dang that is too awkward for me. I would rather splice and replace the n64 socket with a usb one and plug that into my computer, less work xD

 

[infernovia]

I, J, K, L as directions.

A and D for hopping (and djc).

Z for shield.

X for normal attack.

C for special.

Q for taunt.

Wow that is impossible to use. Just tried it and lost to a lvl 5. Could UpB correctly.

This looks like the one. I'm gonna try it out right now.
I'll practice first and tell you the result.

 

[Wrap It Up]

Thank you the controls are great i switched the taunt button N

 

[plainodd]

Mine's preety much standard, I have X,C,S,= A,B,Z. Arrows Keys to move.

Edit: A key is my taunt button

 

[Deleted member]

Default controls

assign any C button to caps lock

 

[Daedatheus]

Do these many people actually use keyboards to play online?!? I thought more people had invested in a USB adapter for some kind of controller, N64 or non. I got an adapter, but the joystick on the N64 controller doesn't respond like a real N64 would, unfortunately

If only they still made adaptoids, those things look quite good....

 

[Superstar]

Changed it.

Arrow Buttons: Control Stick
5: A
1: B
6: Z
+: R
-: L
7,8,9,/: C buttons
Insert: Start [used to be enter but I'd accidentely pause].
4: 50% Control Stick modifier.

I managed to get NRage working. Hehehe. Shorthopped uairs and non buffered utilts here I come.

Yah, Keyboard sucks, but I want some Smash [not Brawl].

 

[Skrlx]

This used to be my setup when i was on keys it was very good. (at the time i had those dorky brick-like square keyboard it was a little old lol)

up,down,left,right are the arrow keys.

A button: A key
B Button: S Key
R Button: D Key
L Button: E Key
Z Button: Z Key
Start Button: Enter Key
I didnt have the c buttons setup exept for one.
Up C Button: i cant remember if it was X or C
i used that key to shorthop


it worked for me well.

 

[Zantetsu]

Do these many people actually use keyboards to play online?!?

I never use keyboard online. I just think everyone here has an alt setup they like using when they don't have a controller in sight

 

[Grime]

B key = C-up (for short hops)
V key = attack
C key = special
X key = shield
Z key = grab
A key = taunt

Up, Right, Down, Left arrow keys for movement and normal jumping. I like this setup because my fingers rest on the main keys I'll be using, and I don't have to worry much about hitting the wrong one. I don't own a controller, but I've gotten to a point where I can play considerably well with the keyboard.

I use my wired 360 controller. it works so good.

 

[Superstar]

Except me, that's my main setup. ;_; Is comfortable though after a while.

 

[†¹Ãgøn¥¹†]

I only use keyboard...Though I wanna get a controller for betther short hop, that's the only problem I have.

 

[Daedatheus]

...when they don't have a controller in sight...

This is a situation which never occurs in my life

Hey man, keyboard makes smashing so much easier >.>

(both more convenient and easier to play ingame)

of course that means I have to readjust for like 30 minutes whenever I actually play console, but whatever, that never happens anyway...

 

[Lawrencelot]

I only use kb, never played it with controller. I use arrow keys to move, shift is shield, z is grab, x is A and c is B, and space to jump.

 

[DemonicInfluence]

I'm the same as you Lawrencelot. The one time I tried with a controller, I failed badly

Setup:
Up/down/left/right = u,j,h,k (since my bro wanted to use arrow keys to move)
A = A
B = S
Shield = C
Grab = D
Taunt = X

SH= T,Y,I,O

So, my pointer/ring fingers press SH while middle finger does most of the work. My pinky does nothing

Come on people get back to your roots! I play console way more than on PC.

I recently hosted a party at my house. I had N64 with smash bros set up, seemed at any given moment at least 2 people were playing. Nothing like a smash keggar

Anyway I must have been challenged like 10 times that night. One guy said to watch out because he was good. He wasn't that good.

Another guy said when I brought it up that my N64 was set up in the other room.
He says "Yeah man I love that game. I play as Samus. Who do you play as?"
I say, "As many characters as I can, but mainly Link, Fox, Pikachu.... sometimes Jigglypuff..."
"Aww, Jigglypuff sucks though."
"No way man. How about this - let's do a battle, you be anyone, I'll be Jigglypuff, and we'll see."
"Are you serious? Okay, if you can actually beat me as Jigglypuff ... I will SLAP myself."

He chooses Samus.
I choose Jiggly.
He gets 5 stocked.

This is why I love to play console all the time

 

[NixxxoN]

true Daedatheus you cant do this so much on Kaillera, and if you can its not as funny as having the other next to you

 

[Winston]

This is why I love to play console all the time

???

so you can play vs random people who don't actually play the game?

console is funny because ssb64 is such a dumb game so you can laugh about it while in person, but it's still pretty funny online because I play vs wenbo who I know irl so we can still laugh about dumb ****.

 

[Daedatheus]

so you can play vs random people who don't actually play the game?

Nah I was just joking around, that's not why I really love console. The difference in speed and control make console the best. Also being right next to your opponent is much more interesting (and less laggy!!).

Also what rocks about console is playing with 3 other friends. A big 4-way FFA with all your friends there IN PERSON is tons of fun, you just can't get that experience online.

I really enjoy the online play because you face such varying skill degrees and you're challenged far more often... but the fact of the matter is that I play **** online compared to console, and that's not really because of the lag, but mostly because of the difference in how the USB adapter and PC handles the N64 controller versus playing it on console. So obviously, being able to do all your moves more easily is a lot more fun. I do believe I am going to do as much tweaking to the control as possible now, though, to see if I can't get some better results out of it.

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

you should put your deadzone to like 4 for maximum performance

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

Question :

I use a dpad controller to play online, It automatically registers any forward motion as dashing etc so I have to buffer tilts Im sure a lot of you are in the same boat

soo.. if I increase the deadzone will I get better DI out of my controller??? I heard some people play with GC controllers with super high deadzone to get h4x DI.

I hate fighting h4x DI pikachu players who mostly camp!!! Thats tough to beat with falcon if theres lag involved
