/vr/ - Retro Games

I switch the dash to R because I'm based.

I actually prefer dash on X, just feels natural leaning my thumb over to it as needed.

I switch dash to L.

Not gonna lie:

Remapping buttons is cheating.

>>5396698
this is the correct answer.

Putting dash on R makes the game so much better. With the default setup you can't really jump, dash, and shoot at the same time, but you can if dash is on R.

>>5396752
You can, you just get bad cramps

With this game specifically? Why not change it if it gives you cramps?

Dash to R or L, depending on how I feel that morning. I think most people do that because they're used to newer megaman titles.

And honestly because you're usually putting your thumb on 2 buttons, and those are usually shoot and jump. Instead of having to switch constantly. It's like Super Metroid, I sacrifice either shooting diagonally up or down for running.

>be at the mercy of innacurately tapping on a d-pad twice when you didn't mean to

Nah, I'd like each button to do one action, thanks

I've used the default controls since 1993, so I'm not about to change them now.

>he can double tap to dash jump while climbing a wall
Explain your ways

>>5396796
With all the X games, or any megaman that uses a dash. And desu, it just doesn't feel natural to me if dash isn't on A/O

My hand only cramps up a bit though, but it probably isn't good for my hand

>>5396698
this.

>>5396752
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH MAN, I CAN JUMP AND SHOOT AT THE SAME TIME.

i use the default controls since the game is piss easy, git gud faggots

Dash on R is the only patrician way.

I've put Dash on R since 1993, what now?

>>5396594
Shot: X
Jump: A
Dash: R
Select_L: L
Select_R: Y
Menu: Start

Dash to R

>>5396594
Dash to L since the Zero and ZX games did it too and because it frees up your hands.

>>5398454
You've been a shitter for over 2 and a half decades.

B+A, child.

Remapping controls to make things feel comfortable? Freakin’ noobs! Hardcore gamers such as myself come up with ways to make it even more difficult. I just beat Mega Mam X this morning with jump mapped to Select!

>>5398523
So you still have to use A. Double tapping is insufficient on its own.

>>5396943
Double tapping for movement sucks. I didn't like it in Unreal either.

>>5398771
based but not as based as beating it with a guitar hero controller

>>5396594
This is actually my exact set up. I hear a lot of people saying R for dash, but I tend to screw up a bit when using one hand to do multiple button presses with percise timing, so L seems more reasonable for me, that way there's a balanced set of prioritization between the buttons each hand is responsible for

>>5396594
I really like playing megaman games on keyboard because of being able to press almost all important keys together at once.
for me
A dash
S fire/buster
D jump (I try to keep D as jump in almost all 2d platformers)
Z left select
X right select
you A being dash you can kinda like kara cancel dash into jump. its useful specially in X since if you hold dash always it doesn't work you have to keep repress when you want another dash or dash jump.
in X4 if you keep holding dash even after dash is over you will always get a dashed jump. so it was really fun just keep holding dash and jumping jumping ans jumping
