I need help with Skullgirls pc Controls!

[LizWiz]

When I try to play the game, I really can't do much because the movesets are joysticks buttons instead of a pc keyboard.

Then map your controls. I don't see what the problem is.

I know your pain I can't even accept any option how do you even accept an option enter doesn't work mouse click doesn't work I asking for a refund!!!

[Herpes Hank]

default keys to move around the menu are z - lightkick, x - medium kick, and arrow keys.

why is it so hard to try pressing other keys until you figure it out which are the accept and the cancel keys?

Why would it be hard for the game to note what the current keys are?

Because that would require the game to know what the keys are labeled as on your input device. Also, you need to learn the input notations to be able to talk with other people about inputs.

The notation is listed in punches and kicks instead of keyboard/360/PS3 buttons because it's a universal system that doesn't rely on someone else having the exact same control scheme as you. Map your controls or use the default and memorize where the punch and kick buttons are, it'll help you in the long run.

Hm, while i can understand the temporarely frustration involved in not getting any response of the game due to not knowing the buttons (and they're set in quite an unexpected way), why do so many people feel the need to complain after trying like 3-5 buttons, instead of spending those precious minutes pressing the other buttons on the keyboard until something works? I mean, come on now... You only need one confirmation button anyway to do everything on the menu anyway.

Dear God the impatience of people these days... Just had to rant there for a bit. That said, adding mouse support to the main menus wouldnt be an bad idea to avoid the standard newbie controls frustrations. I'd imagine it wouldnt require them to hire newer/better programmers to do that, atleast.

Default pc controls should be this

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

[GooglyMoogly!]

Just give up guys.

The game was only $3.75

I was not exactly impatient, just kind of.... stuck. Whenever I get a fighting game on PC, the first thing I try would be to see if there's the option to change from a controller (XBox, or joystick pad) to the keyboard.

Figuring out the confirm and cancel buttons weren't too hard (I mean, when you've played enough games, you just know it's around the ADWS or ZXC area...). It's when I saw the "Choose Controllers" and I SEE the option to change to keyboard 1 and failing to confirm it that's really bugging me.

I suppose I could just try to remap all the buttons and just work with it... but it's just RIGHT THERE... and I'm not sure WHY it's not confirming. I'd even tried every button on my keyboard.

What I got was: if you're inside the "Choose Controllers" menu, the Left and Right keys moves the word "Keyboard 1" to either sides (Left side for Player 1, Right side for Player 2). Buttons ], \, A, S, F, Z and X returns me to the "Help & Option" menu. Yet when I go back in to the "Choose Controllers" to check my changes (just that ONE change, really), it still tells me it's the game pad controller.

I just want to know if that setting really is bugged, or if I'm the one who's doing wrong. Or if it doesn't even matter at this point and I should just remap the keys like many suggested. ...but man, it's just RIGHT THERE. Why would you make a page in your options and not have it work out? I also tried to "Config All" (under Controls), but that took one restarting the game before I got the hang of it.) The keys that were already assigned wasn't too hard to deal with actually, but seriously... it's RIGHT THERE. (I'm still pretty hung up on that...)

Either way, I think jumping right away to say people's frustration with game controls is a "newbie controls frustration" is a bit presumptious. I do agree that LOTS of people are impatient and do complain A LOT, but it's still problems that some gamers are having, and if a game only gears towards advanced or average-level gamers, then the game's not going to last long. Or more like that kind of mentality is not going to keep the game industry running. You always want new people joining in. Every gamer starts somewhere. (Some people can still do less complaining and more searching and trial-testing though... )

Besides, making the controllers set as keyboard first and allowing option to change to game pad controls are also viable. It IS sold on a PC plateform, no? Also, making sure that the confirm button for the "Choose Controllers" menu actually works shouldn't be too difficult, is it? (Just wondering).

It does seem like a good solid game, and I want to test out as much as possible before I decide if I want to buy it (it's free until 6 hours later for me), but just the inital stage of remapping and setting up keys (or failing to change back to "keyboard 1"... is it actually set to keyboard 1 already??) is not really helping the game.

I figured some of those on my own, but thanks for this. Makes things slightly clearer.
