Hi everyone!

I usually play with a controller, but I've been thinking that trying the keyboard might be useful (obviously when I play on emulator ^^).

Do you have advices concerning in which way I should assign the keys? Or at least, can you give me your configuration?

Thank you!

I can't seem to Jab cancel with Pikachu. Do you jab then press grab after? I'm using a keyboard if that helps.

 

[DMoogle]

I think that's how you do it (grab IMMEDIATELY after). It's tricky for sure, just keep practicing.

Also, we're not too far apart geographically. Any interest in getting together some time for some console Smash 64?

i find it really really hard to jab grab on keyboard, a lot easier on pad for some reason.

This coming from the guy who lands frame perfect U-Airs?

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

press a and r at basically the same time, a before r though

the problem is with my keyboard ghosting, and as such, pressing the two keys close together does not register

 

[rpotts]

Jab grabbing is easier on a player or on a shield than empty. The hitlag from the jab increases the time til you should hit R. It's still almost immediate but I can rarely jabgrab on nothing, but its easy on a shield/char.

Nobody is willing to answer to my previous question?

If it's because my question is pointless, tell me at least. ^_^

Thanks!

Find a keyboard setup that works. Make sure your keys are close enough to z-cancel. Most people use the up down, left, and right arrows for movement, a key close by for short hops, and a few others on the opposite side of the keyboard for A, B, L, R, and Z.

Or, if you wish to use a controller, buy a n64 controller adapter.

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

why would you waste your time with keyboard when you have a controller already?

most people use wasd for movement because using movement controls on your right hand is very awkward

i still do not get why it is akward, is it because they are used to pads where they control the movement with the left hand. i dunno, i am right handed and play with the right hand for movement, seems logical to me as i want the more percise hand control the fine movements.

When does anything with the arrow keys require anything remotely technical...? I use my dominant hand (right) for the button keys for increased consistency, and WASD for mocement.

 

[asianaussie]

I use my right hand for the arrow keys lol...

Works fine but I think that's because piano trained both my hands to some degree of co-ordination.

i think it works really well for DI.
ofcourse keyboard works very well to that enf anyhow.

Thank you everyone for your answers!

It's just that if one day, by any chance I only have a computer and no controller I wouldn't be stuck (on holiday for example). And also my controllers are getting old and I haven't found any website where I could buy a new official (nintendo) controller. I bought EAXUS ones, but they are so crappy I can't even play (when you tilt down, the character sometimes jumps).

Anyway I'll try both wasd and the arrows to see which I find more comfortable.

Thanks again!

ebay is your friend

 

[Sangoku]

Are there new controllers on ebay? I didn't know that! ^^ I thought it was only second hand (which might be as old as my own ones) or unofficial ones.

And I don't have a credit card, so I'll have to find somebody accepting bank transfer...

How do you cancel samus's charging animation without your shield showing up?

I can cancel using z but then my shield always appears and slows me down a bit.

Here is a video of isai doing it.

it is done with z, press it like you press a c button when short hopping.

 

[ssbstreak]

Dang that's gonna take a while to get used to on ,my n64 controller.

 

[SSBPete]

cant you just press R

 

[dch111]

No, that fires the shot.

 

[rom2014]

Hi all,

I'm curious to know what people have their analog range and deadzone set to when they play online? And does it make much of a difference? I assume everyone uses the n-rage plugin so yeah.

Thanks.

 

[Untrust Us]

those settings differentiate on what controller you use

 

[ciaza]

He uses a classic N64 controller.

 

[Untrust Us]

Oh I see.

use the nrage plugin and have your deadzone at 5%

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

it really depends on your adapter for the range

 

[mother_brain]

so after watching a ton of youtube videos of luigi players (mostly videos of isai, tbh), i'm pretty sure i've (almost) decided to pretty much go against the tier list and main luigi. however, before i really set it in stone, since i'm relatively new to the community, i'm really curious as to how players come to a decision of which character to main with, and also, if players think it's a good or bad choice to decide to focus on playing as one character.

i'd really appreciate all responses to either of these issues.

 

[asianaussie]

Who cares about the tier list, 64 is the game in the series where you can play any character and do fairly well.

I main Link because I like him and he's fun to play as.

Learn to play as one character and you'll be able to play as others when your general skill level gets better. Luigi might be hard for your first character, but I'm certainly not going to discourage you from using him.

 

[ciaza]

Having one character that people associate with is cool, but to be a better player you should be playing almost every character to an extent, to learn how to play against them at the very least.

Otherwise listen to what Cheeseball is saying.

THIS.

Besides, playing against someone who only plays one character can get boring.

 

[SSBPete]

No, that fires the shot.

almost certain it dosnt. i'll try it later but i always use R to cancle dk's charge.

 

[dch111]

It works for DK's charge. When I tried it for Samus, she fired.

 

[SSBPete]

my appologies

 

[//..Cloud..//]

i use R to cancel samus shots but i never had i time when she fired it

 

[SheerMadness]

I used to play a lot of different characters but I'm far better now that I mainly only play Yoshi.

 

[The Star King]

Too bad that means you can get counterpick *****.

 

[SheerMadness]

How do I get counterpick *****? Yoshi is fairly good vs everyone in ssb64.

It's not like Pichu vs Sheik ***** in melee or something.

 

[NixxxoN]

id say falcon (for example) ***** yoshi given two equally skilled players.
