GGACR/I-No/Leverless Input Tricks: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:41, 3 October 2022

Purpose

This page is to serve as a guide on how to play I-No on a leverless input device, often called Hitbox.

I-No is a high execution character, and will demand a lot from the player. Due to the way +R reads inputs, leverless is often considered very hard to play her on. It is true that it is hard, however there are techniques to mitigate the struggle.

This guide is under construction. Please forward all feedback and criticism to Tommygun#0733 on discord.

Original vs. Lenient Inputs

What's the difference?

A major misconception about the inputs for the PC release of +R is that the inputs are bugged in a way that makes controlling the game harder than on PS3 or arcade.

This is not true accoreding to FIXMESTEVE. Arcade, PS3, and PC original inputs are all identical.

What lenient does is allows you to skip directions during a moves motion, with some caveats. This basically interpolates a joystick direction.

You must have gone between two non-adjacent directions in one frame.
- 4136 counts as a halfcircle back, skipping directly from 1 to 3 and missing the 2 input.
- 41536 does not count as a halfcircle back, as you did not go from 1 to 3 in one frame.
- For a 632146 motion, you may input 632176 and have it work, as the 4 input is interpolated from the 1 to 7 transition.
The input cannot be done faster than on original inputs.
- 41236+S takes at minimum 5 frames. Performing 4136 in a 4 frame window is not a valid half circle backwards.
- If 4136+S is input in at least a 5 frame period, it is a valid half circle backwards.
  - This means at least one direction had to be held for at least 2 frames, making the total motion at least 5 frames.
The first and last direction of the motion may not be interpolated, and must be directly hit.
- For a 236 input, 239 is invalid even though 6 can be interpolated from the 3 to 9 transition.
- Strangely, on I-No 41239+S counts as a valid 41236+S. Unsure why.

Valid and Invalid 632146
Valid	63146	6246	63176
Invalid	635146	62546	63276

What should I play on?

Lenient input should not have any downsides to playing on. Lenient input is only available on the PC release of +R however. If you play on lenient and then go to an offline event that uses the PS3 version of the game, you will suddenly be forced to play with much stricter controls than you are used to.

If you don't care about your performance in offline events run on PS3, play on lenient inputs.

If you do care about your performance on PS3, getting used to playing on original inputs is advised.

Input Tips

Chemical Love (632146K/S)

Easily the hardest part about playing I-No on leverless. Being able to do this move consistently on both left and right sides of the screen will be crucial to playing I-No effectively.

This guide will assume you are using original inputs, as the same input tricks apply to lenient you just have more room for error.

SOCD cleaning (simulatenous opposite cardinal directions) will help get our inputs. For the purpose of this guide, the directional buttons will be noted as such.

R = Right
D = Down
L = Left
U = Up

Step by step guide for inputting Chemical Love (632146K/S). Assumes facing right.

Hold R, add D, then add L. This will be read as 632.
Release R, release D. This will be read as 14.
Release L, then press R. This will be read as 56.
Press K/S to get the move.

This total sequence is the most reliable way of ensuring you get every direction. Common issues include.

Skipping over the 2 input by pressing L at the same time you release R.
Missing a diagonal input by pressing or releasing L+D or R+D at the same time.
Missing the 4 input by releasing L and D at the same time.
Missing the final 6 input by not releasing the L input before pressing K/S.

You may go slow to get this input, however if you go too slow it will not register. Practice in training mode with the inputs on and prioritize getting all the inputs cleanly rather than trying to do it fast. Once you can consistently hit every direction in sequence, try to go faster until the game starts to register the move.
