Answers my question, sorry for the lengthy rant

That's good news for me. Thank you!

"Theres literally like 4 rules."

Maybe I should clarify. After playing with Keyboard for a few weeks, I have new concerns.

Basically, I aim to climb the leaderboard. I don't want to get to the top 100, 50, or even 20 and then find out people have a problem with me playing keyboard and say I have an advantage

I already know that the top players argue about glitches allowed in NMG. It's a relevant concern that my playing with the keyboard could be voted against in a majority discord vote. It's not something I want to find out the hard way after 100's of hours of practice, and so it literally decides whether I will continue or not. I play SSBM, so I'm super anal about controllers. I can't afford to buy a new controller every 6 months when it breaks, but I like running this game. So it begs the question

Are there any examples of top players who use a Keyboard and mouse and it's perfectly fine?

Lol then I'll just quit. Too many rules, and I won't be going across the four corners of the earth to find some SNES relics I would never own otherwise

Ok, I found it a day later. You were right, I wasnt using the current Snes9x core

Thanks othertom

He's using 1.7.3 RetroArch, while I'm using 1.8.4 - I'm not seeing the option "allow opposing directions" anywhere

I made an account at RetroArch's Forums to ask there, but they wont send me a confirmation eMail. Smh

I'll get it eventually but it's still unresolved

Yea I'm not to keen on them either. I was looking up and down for it. I have RetroArch. If anyone knows the option I would greatly appreciate it

Hey all,

I'm new to the community, but practiced this game a while back. Used to use controller, but always had a tough time finding a good one.

I decided to experiment and use keyboard. To my amazement, I actually love it - but it's very questionable because I can press 2 opposite directionals at the same time. I noticed 2 things this affects

-It allows me to moonwalk to the Left or Up.

-I also learned while trying to pump up stairs, if you hold LEFT and RIGHT while going up or down stairs with superspeed, you actually can superspeed up the stairs

I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be legal, but I'm really having fun with this and don't really want to go back to controller as they're hard to find and wear out easily

I'm wondering if I can nerf my keyboard to only allow one directional at a time. Any Objections?

Edit: I've decided to only pump in one direction when going up stairs, because using both Left & Right directionals one after the other at a fast rate is way to easy to press both at the same time. I really want to continue using keyboard so I'll nerf myself
