Key combination help?

[megaman-x]

I'm playing Mega Man X and i'm trying to set the keys for the hydouken move to a key which is (down, left, shoot) to shoot it left and (down, left, right, shoot) to shoot it right, but it wont work

[paulguy]

Well, I never played the game much, but based on your requirements, you'd probably do something like

press down
wait 1
press left
wait 1
release down
wait 1
press fire
wait 1
release left

Or something along those lines.

did you mean 1 frame delay or 1 sec delay, i used 1 second but it didnt work

[odditude]

it would help if you got the motion right.

d, dr, r + fire and d, dl, l + fire

where commas are one-frame delays and plus means consecutive presses.

Do you have one second delays between the parts of the move on a real SNES?
No.

Use a one-frame delay.

the hydouken

hadouken

which is (down, left, shoot) to shoot it left and (down, left, right, shoot) to shoot it right

Punch whoever told you that in the face a couple times.

You want QCF+<shot button>

1- tick the "> = latest </>" box.
2- 'press ↓' (not press+release)
3- '1 frame'
4- 'press →'
5- '1 frame'
6- 'release ↓'
7- '1 frame'
8- 'release →'
9- 'press + release <shot button here>'
A- set the combo shortcut
B- ????
C- cheap one hit kills !

1- tick the "> = latest </>" box.

ooh, that's new since the last time i used the combo editor (c. 2001-02?) - it was the only way i could pull off supers in GWED.

haven't touched it since i got something with better diagonals than the old GPPs.

Yeah, it was introduced to remove the need to duplicate every single command (and thus key shortcut) when you're facing the opposite direction.
