Hosting multi-game battles

I’m sometimes in the position to host an A3 game with more than one other person involved but I have no idea how to switch the controls for multi play.

I’ve come across quite a few people on Kaillera that perfectly know how to switch controllers but their brief explanations have always left a “duh” look on my face. If anyone here could help me out, it’d be greatly appreciated.

There’s two ways:

  1. Use F5 or F6 to switch controls.
  2. Or use Shift+F5 or F6 the shift up or down.

You’ll have to experiment and see. Its either one or the other.

Press F5, a window will pop up that says 1234, press it again and it’ll scroll to 1324, 1423, etc. You are player 1, the second guy is 2, and the third guy is 3.

You will face player 2 first, say you win now you want to face player 3. Hit F5 until it says 1324 or 1342. Only the first two digits matter, 13 means player 1 vs player 3, 23 is player 2 vs player 3, and so forth.

Cool, thanks a bunch!
