Yeah, and if it's a fighting game you're playing, you're terrible. I don't have to play you to know. I've been part of the fighting game community for many years now, so I know all too well what works and what doesn't, and keyboards don't work well at all.

Your waste of $15 though, not mine. You can have fun losing constantly in online play so you have no choice but to basically spend $15 for a single player fighting game.

Calm down man. Just saying i want to give it a go. I dont want to start a fight or anything. Plus i aint planning on playing online. ._.

I'll join you with playing it with a keyboard if i ever have the game.

good to know we can always count on the fighting game community's first response to be flame the newbies not hey here are the controls.

[futonrevolution]

Default keyboard controls are:
Movement: arrow keys
Light, Medium, Heavy Punch: A, S, D
Light, Medium, Heavy Kick: Z, X, C
Start: Enter
Select: F
Macro 1: V
Macro 2: G
Analog: H and B

It's kind of cute to see people pretend that Steam isn't a service for casuals.

I find the keyboard more useful than the controller, actually.
It's a pain in the ass to get used to at first, but it eventually a lot more reliable. To me, at least.

Meh i use nothing but the keyboard but i can still play this fine, can beat up the nightmare level of AI just about anytime, though i havent ventured into online play yet, i believe the grumpy guy up there is one of said (many) reasons for that.

Anyway, perhaps some useful information: The way the game works you'll need to press LP or such to enter a part of the menu, by default LP is A, so you press A to do stuff. the MK button can be used to back out of the menu, which is bound to X if i recall, or otherwise whatever is bound to the Select Button function will also do that. (Apparantly F by default, maybe?)

Using this you should navigate your way to Options and find Controls or whatever they where called (curse my overly selective memory), where you can set your buttons. Look for an option that lets you bind them all in one go, it'll offer a brief description of the button and asks you what button you want to use for it, once you've gone through the buttons its highly recommended you try the training mode. If part of the training proves too demanding, perhaps skip that lesson for now and go to the next, the combo-related lessons can be rather difficult at first due to timing requirements.

Edit: Oh yeah, almost forgot, but as far as my first experience went, if the buttons feel uncomfortable while trying to do stuff like combo's, you can change them anytime in training/tutorial or when playing vs the computer to whatever suits better. Might want to not change what the macros do (which is different from assinging a button to them so you can use them), as one quick press of the macro button summons an assist and there's already enough assist/switching related functions in the game to make this a headache to do/remember manually. :P

Since I'm using a standard keyboard, I needed to change one of the macros to LP + LK to be able to block throws. Every time I've screwed up any other move, so far, it's been my own fault.

The keyboard's not as bad as people make it out to be. Sure, it's not as good as a dedicated fight-stick, but it's still playable. You kinda get used to doing most motions after a while of playing, with the expection of a few moves like one of Cerebella's blockbuster moves (the one where you have to do a 360 degree motion).

Oh ♥♥♥♥, I thought this thread died. When I logged into steam I get like 7 new replies on this thread. ._.

Yeah, and if it's a fighting game you're playing, you're terrible. I don't have to play you to know. Casuals (AKA: People who are new/bad at fighting games) have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to any intracacies regarding fighting games. I've been part of the fighting game community for many years now, so I know all too well what works and what doesn't, and keyboards don't work well at all.

Is it lonely up there on that throne you've sat yourself upon, hm? Don't be such a rude ♥♥♥♥. Not everyone will have as much Gaming experience as you, and you shouldn't give them ♥♥♥♥ for it. Everyone starts out at their own levels, and some people take gaming more seriously than others. Even if you are great at the games you play, you shouldn't be so ill-mannered to someone who is asking for HELP. ♥♥♥♥.

[BlazeCasper]

wow...fighting over stupid ♥♥♥♥ because of a keyboard...to be fair I would really like the joystick controller more because you can perform all your attacks and blockbusters more easily. A keyboard works the same way sorta except using arrow keys make it wayyyyy hard and almost close to impossible to perform the right combos. If you're high on top of the leaderboards and still use a keyboard, god is shining on your ♥♥♥♥ right now.

Thanks for the info.

I started the game for the first time and after some minutes realizing how can i select a menu item, i just got stuck in the key mapping screen because i can't find how to just cancel it or esc. Than i give up and alt+f4.

I play games since the very very early eighties, and PC games since the middle of the eighties. Controllers was default at this time, they came with the CPU and Keyboard, because it was more for gaming than anything else. There was no mouse.

But, since the default gadget of a PC is not a controller anymore, games that has being sold for PC must be made or ported to the default gadgets of this plattform, not just throw a console interface at our faces and move on.

I understand games that was made for PC + controllers, but the customer have to know this before the purchase. "Controller Required" have to be clearly stated in the store front. Or just find a way to put it simple for K&M, like even a pop up showing default "select" and "cancel" keys. Otherwise i find this kind of thing deeply disrespectful.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if you feel confortable playing fighting or platform games with a controller on PC, it's your way and it's fine, but you're not supposed to have one. PCs are supposed to have Keyboard and Mouse, and many players like them for everything, being the default PC gadgets.

Former console Developers and Publishers must pay some atention at this when starting to selling their games for PC. It's like trying to sell a game for XBox that requires a Mouse or Keyboard.

Nope, don't give advice without trying it yourself. Keyboard can be perfectly fine if you have a good keyboard and a good layout. It's basically a more cramped hitbox at that point.
