There are tons of ways to make half circles in KoF easy. Your PCB isn’t broken, your fingers just need to make sure Down comes out with each half circle. If you’re not careful you’ll skip diagonal to diagonal and the motion won’t come out. KoF half circles only need L-D-R, so you can skip the diagonals. You can make half circles really brain dead once you know how to work it.
The easiest KoF half circle is to tap F, QCB and you’ll get it every time. The other method is to use slides.
QCF, HCB, all you have to do is QCF, QCB to make it fool proof.
I actually have KoF shortcut guide. I’ll see if I can turn it into a link for you guys or make a spoiler.
EDIT: Here is the KoF Shortcut Guide I mentioned earlier. It’s not polished and in numeric, but it’s good info. If anyone has contributions or tech finds, let me know and we can turn it into an official guide, maybe video.
Did you try the SOCD method for HCF/HCB?
B,BD,BDF,DF,F or F,DF,DFB,DB,B? These 2 methods double your chances of completing the command right. Plink them all down in the direction you want, then negative edge them all off in the same direction.
A friend gave me a tip in KoF XIII for a 2-frame quarter circle motion.
D,UF+Attack. So press Down, then with your right hand hit, Up + Right + Attack in 2nd position. When you use SOCD’s, you skip neutral and can get a 2-frame fireball!
I haven’t had time to test this, so maybe you guys can confirm it works. If it does work, I’ll bet we can get even more wonky shortcuts for supers too.
UPDATE: I couldn’t make this work right off, so I’ll have to see if there’s something I’m missing. Would definitely like more KoF shortcuts…
Hello everyone,
I got my dual console hitbox about a month ago, and I’m having a great time using it. It works great on my xbox360, however it doesn’t work on my laptop. It will work for about 10 seconds, but then Windows will prompt me that the USB device could not be recognized. I’m using Windows 7. If anyone could help me, I would very much appreciate it.
Definitely strange. You’re not holding down Start or Select or Home as you plug it in are you? If you hold one of them (can’t remember which) down while plugging it in it tries to enter a firmware update mode and will not be recognized by windows until you’ve jumped through a couple of loops. Other than that all I can say is that windows assigns it the HID-Compliant driver and it’s recognized as PS360+v1.3 (v being version of the firmware). Make sure you don’t have a bad USB Port. You may have to manually assign the driver to the device. Strange, but this should be automatic. Maybe someone else knows more.
Thank you for the response Haku. I don’t think I was holding any buttons when I had it plugged in. I’m going to try and manually assign the driver for the hitbox in the morning. Is it hard to do? I imagine I choose to select the driver manually from a list. And do i need to download any drivers? I have a driver for my xbox 360 controller if that matters at all.
Thanks again for your time
I tried googling to no avail. I’m still having trouble getting it to work. Windows tells me it is an unknown device every time I plug it in. And I have no idea where to find the proper driver.
Thanks again for your reply though, I’m going to keep trying different things to try and make it work.
maybe its a bit offtopic but i have a question an i feel you guys knows it best
so i have a ps1 pad if i buy 12 buttons and put it together how good is it
shit?playable?good ß
That would work just like any other joystick (PCB specific of course, or in this case PS360+ and Cthulu for ps3). You’re probably going to get a better answer looking in those PCB threads.
Chances are it will lag or systems will be updated to ban them.
