360 macro?

[DankSlayer]

Hello. Since I don't have a controller i have a small problem. I can do all moves and combos easily on keyboard, but I can't pull off moves that require you to do a full 360. I would like to do this moves with Beowulf and Cerebella but i simply can't do it. So I'm asking if there's a way to get a hotkey/macro that will do 360 motions for me?

Keyboard is overall bad to use for a lot of fighting games, and I don't think motions can be macro'd.

I dunno man, cause like a year or so i found a program that would mash buttons for me (I hate when games force you to button mash to progress) so i was hoping that there's a program that will imput the 360 command for me.

Well i suppose many people would consider a program to do that input for you cheating, so that's probably not recommended.

Though i also play on the keyboard and 90% of the time 360's come out just fine, just a matter of practicing, and knowing some technical details, i guess. There's a neat trick to 360's, you can create one either way no matter what side your character is facing (so if you face left, right>down>left>up>right still works).

So you can try either direction and whichever one you are better with you practice to perfection and it should work no matter what direction. The game even generously adds 360 protection (prevents unwanted jumping), and you can skip out on directions such as up-right, down-right, down-left, purely making it a + basically (that's what it kinda looks like in stick input display).

Some say you don't even have to perform the last button of forward>down>backwards>up>forward, ending with just up, but i never tried that myself.

Is there a way to make macros for blockbusters?

I dunno, and honestly THAT would be cheating. I just want a program that would do 360s for me.

I don't think you can do that, and using outside programs is genuinely cheating.

You may have to figure out how to do it yourself, or pick up a controller/fight stick

I can do 360's with minimal effort on keyboard. Try taking your time with the forward, down, back keys before pressing the final up key + grab.

If you really want to get a macro, start fiddling with AutoHotkey

As others have said, you can do a 360 in either direction. If you aren't comfortable with either direction, you should practice DPs and quarter circles a bit more as well. It might not help, but it's worth a shot.

The game uses GGPO, which means that the "anti-cheat" is a bit funny. It's all based on what you actually input, so you can't make major changes to the flow of the game mid-session or kill your opponent or give yourself infinite meter or anything crazy, but you can use macros without causing a desync. It's bad sportsmanship though, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Not entirely true. It depends on the keyboard.

Membrane keyboards are unfit for fighting games, but mechanical keyboards are fully functional. It's essentially just a hitbox with smaller buttons and variable button strength (although you'll usually want as little button resistance as possible).

You can make a PP or KK macro, but it's probably not a good idea as you could have much more important things as a macro, such as assists or dashes. Admittedly, dashes are just PP anyway, but for KK block busters you're better off trying to do the input yourself.

A blockbuster is just two keys after a quarter circle. If you have trouble with blockbusters, you should focus on doing quarter circles. Pressing two punch/kick buttons at once is much easier in comparison.

If you're playing on keyboard, and you're not using a mechanical keyboard, it's very, very likely that you're just being limited by ghosting and you're probably going to have a lot of trouble with block busters until you either get a mechanical keyboard or pick up a different controller.

You can write such a marcro with "Pulover's Macro Creator", i use it for other things but tried and it worked decent. It is pretty easy programm so only tip i can recommend is to set delay on 20-25 milliseconds in order for it to not bug.
