Keyboard Controls?
Looking to pick this up, but worried about keyboard controls, as I lost support for my ps3 controller after I upgraded to win 10. Could someone post them here?

As a Hitbox player I can say that I would prefer keyboard to both gamepads and arcade stick, so it is possible if you set up them to your personal preferences

My set up:

Action=Key

L=W
Crouch=E
R=R
Jump=B (or whatever key your thumb is on when using W/E/R as movement keys)

P=I
K=O
S=P
SH=[
D=K
Taunt=anything you want, since who cares

The game takes really well to keyboard inputs, but there are some issues with the in-game keybinding such as certain keys being unbindable or default bindings that you can't change.
But there are a number of workarounds posted on the forums if you're looking for a setup normally unavailable, e.g binding <SPACE> for jumping.

These threads are worth looking at:

Picked up this a few days ago. Always loved fighting games but only ever got good at melee, and that does not help much in arcade fighting games. I find Keyboard can work great, but I had to spend quite a wile working it out. I can share that here for you.

I wamted to rebind jump to space but the games does not like that, I have a Razer Arctosa keybaord and can use razer synape to rebind stuff like jump to space. I have a finger on each movement direction, alowing for me to acualy use specials. I also moved punch and kick and what not to the number pad. 4-punch 5-kick 7-slash 8-heavy. I put my index finger and only my index fight in the middle and use that to push the four keys around it as needed. I found having to remember the correct finger for the correct attack was too much unneeded mind work in thsi already complex game.

I also had to brush up on a few things about keyboards, such as the keys stick for a breif moment so if you button mash as fast as humanly possible the game won't pick up on that. I have found that if I hit the keys hard that fraction of a secpound wind up my finger does puts enough delay so the game plays like it should. When ever I get slopy and can do my specials I do a few basic movements with my character, calm down, and hit the keys harder. Works like a charm.

I also had to learn how the game was programed. See, the movements you make on your keyboard do not translate into the movments you would make on a stick. For example: to do GunFlame, or forward quarter circle you press Down-Right-Punch. No fancy stick action. No precise diagonals. Just three keys.

Once I learned you had to ignore the stick direction advice it reduced basicaly all the attacks to under four key strokes with minor variations and that my freind is satisfying. No longer instaling malware to get a gamecube controler working, no longer cursing arcade games. No longer spitting my fighting game heritage. No. At will I can use any of my characters specials with a 90% success rate and I have been playing the game for only two days.

Once these breakthrougs were made I acualy think keyboard is easer play than stick. Well..... my fingers dooo feel like they are about to fall off.....
