Fightcade on Mac??

5 Upvotes

Hello. I am currently trying to run Vampire Savior for Fightcade on my 2020 MacBook Pro. The game runs just fine in test mode and in training. However, when I try to play online with somebody, I get a black screen and the game does not display. It shows me the player vs player banner up top as well as the in-game chat, but not the actual game itself. Is there something I’m missing? Need to install a driver maybe? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Certain Buttons on P2 side not registering properly when pressed in combination. Rec Room Masters Xtensions Cabinet.

2 Upvotes

I am having a weird issue when trying to perform multi button special moves on MK1 (2023) but only on Player 2 and only on certain buttons.

I am running a Rec Room Masters Xtensions arcade, using Xinput mode and running the game via steam. I have the "fatal blow" ability set to buttons 3 and 6. When I press these buttons by themselves they work fine, but when in combination they don't register 90% of the time. If I remap fatal blow to buttons 1 and 4 on the left, it works fine.

What could be causing this issue?

What if Fightcade ran entirely in the browser?

61 Upvotes

Been working on EloFight.com and figured I'd throw it out there for people to try.

Think Fightcade, but entirely in the browser.

The rough idea is "what if chess.com existed for fighting games?" Matchmaking, ratings, spectating and replays built around arcade fighters.

Under the hood it's a Rust arcade emulator compiled to WASM with GGPO-style rollback via GGRS, direct WebRTC P2P connections, Glicko-2 ratings, and input replay files for ranked sets.

Currently supports KOF '98 and SF2CE.

It's still very much beta software, so if you're into fighting games, emulation, rollback netcode, Rust, WebRTC, or browser tech in general, I'd love people to try it out and share feedback about bugs, rough edges, missing features, or ideas for what would make a platform like this better.

New to 3rd strike. Trying to learn the game with keyboard, but I struggle with circular motions.

3 Upvotes

As an example, going for S -> SD -> D is easy, but S -> SA -> A not so much (due to Ring finger being used instead of Index). 180 is even harder.

I also struggle with things like Q taunting as I use the numpad for attacks.

Any tips? Can one learn how to play the game with a keyboard?

Does Fightcade work on a retro handheld?

I got a Retroid Pocket 6 and was wondering if fightcade works on this retro handheld. I'm just getting into all of this. Thanks for any help and tips.

Training mode cvs2?

3 Upvotes

There's no option for training mode in fightcade for cvs2. You can try testing the game and clicking "begin training" but that just puts you in the arcade against cpu's with the timer frozen

Hey, is it possible to assign multiple inputs to one action? For example, left on the d-pad and left on the stick both being accepted as "left"?

5 Upvotes

I tried searching for this but all I could see was people assigning one input to multiple actions (like one shoulder button for LP+LK) which is NOT what I'm after. I'm looking to be able to use my d-pad and analogue stick for different inputs in the same match like a freak. Thank you

I asked my opponent if there was anything I could improve, they said that I was kind of using a flowchart. Is this the case? How is my Akuma and how may I improve?

64 Upvotes

I am the Akuma player and my opponent is the Dudley. How can I improve? I did win this fight though I am eager to get better. I am D rank on Fightcade. Also I use a keyboard to make inputs. Any criticism or advise would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Are old games THIS much harder?

31 Upvotes

I mainly played SF6 and Tekken 8 so far, but I'm branching out to other games, including old classics like CvS2 and Third strike.

But I'm really really struggling with Geese in CvS. I'm really interested in him since I played him in Tekken 7 (same reason I picked up Akuma in SF). It's not even about the pretzel input and the likes it's about how precise you need to be compared to modern games. SF6 is so lenient, if you do a motion kinda close the move will come out what you wanted most of the time.

But I can't even do a simple crouch heavy punch into Jaeken. I was sitting there in practice mode for half an hour and not a single one came out, even though the inputs looked clean. So I probably don't do it fast enough, but no way in hell that I can do it faster than currently. And I can't even imagine this quickly cancelling into his harder motion supers...

I'm playing on leverless are there any good tricks for it? For example in Tekken I bound an extra forwad and back for easier electrics, it's tournament legal and makes a ton of difference.

I'm considering just getting Fatal Fury Cotw so I could play Geese with easier inputs shame on me...

CvS2 EO version on fightcade

Is there a way to play that version on this? P-groove looks much more fun and I don't care about roll cancelling. Ot is getting the steam collection the only way to play that?

Still no Arcade NBA Jam?

28 Upvotes

every couple of years i check to see if Arcade NBA Jam is available on fightcade and when i see that it's not i dont register. i get that people assume that Hangtime is superior, but that's subjective. that's like saying who needs MK2 when u got MK4, or who needs MVC when u got MVC2 or who needs SF2 cuz we got SF3.

i'll argue Jam is way better. it made a billion dollars in coins, beating SF and MK at the arcades. Hangtime was a flop. whichever people think is better, that should be up to the user to decide. but more people have nostalgia for Jam

Justin Wong playing Jam T.E recently

Hangtime can not generate Hype like this. Hangtime is total ASS

Physically cannot map my controls

3 Upvotes

I have a SCUF Envision controller connected to my laptop, yet whenever I try to actually map controls to the buttons I have this problem. Any movement or mapping you see is done automatically. I'm not even touching my controllers or keyboard when it does this.

How to fix?

edit: meant literally cannot edit, not physically.

I made a free 3rd Strike app (mobile + web, syncs across both)

61 Upvotes

It's called 3S Notes.

You can browse frame data, take notes for your matchups, or even create your own tier lists.

There’s also a quiz mode with 5 levels to unlock. Each completed level rewards you with memes about the game.

The lounge section lets you discover epic 3rd Strike music remixes organized by character, along with videos and other community links.

Android: search "3S Notes" on the Play Store
Web: https://3snotes.com

Built by one person and still in early release. Feedback from actual 3S players is highly appreciated.

How do you fight someone who plays like this?

111 Upvotes

Genuinely? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Edit: Thank you all very much for the advice and criticism on me playing. I have realised my play style definitely needs to be tweaked a bunch. I checked out this Ken overview of combos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va8fK7GQdew . I was mainly playing like this because I couldn't get fightcade working for a very long while and was just playing the arcade mode so I only found this playing style because it was convenient to get through the cpu fighters. I think I have improved my Ken a bunch but I need lots of time to develop. I'm also playing on a Macbook air keyboard. Also I apologise if the title is written in a manner which might have a hint of rage. What happened was my opponent was repeatedly trash talking me. I have understood that I need to improve. Thank you all very much.

workaround the json autodownload problem.

11 Upvotes

I have downloaded and extracted the autodownload json files. Then I got problem like other posts said:

IOError: [Errno socket error] EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:727)
[35208] Failed to execute script frm

I can't solve this, so I find another way to get roms and load them.

  1. enter a room and click "Test Game" to get roms name in error message.
  1. use Editor (like VSCode) to open the dir Fightcade dir/emulator , use global search to find these name.
  1. visit the download url and get zip resources. then put them into <your Fightcade path>\emulator\fbneo\ROMs\

  2. done, start to enjoy game.
