Mechanics in Detail

For a summary of mechanics in comparison to Melee, see details.

Energy

The biggest new feature is the Energy meter. Shields, specials, lag-canceling, and holding opponents all consume Energy.

Each character has the same energy pool and regeneration speed. The last chunk of used energy, the ligher chunk on the meter, regenerates more quickly; it can help to space out big specials and avoid lag-canceling or using shield immediately after for the fastest regeneration potential.

Controllers

Currently officially supports GameCube (via Wii U/Switch adapter in native mode), 360/XB1 (and compatible), PS4, and keyboard

Button/key rebinding will be improved later in testing, as well as support for more controllers (e.g. Mayflash in PC mode, Switch Pro)

To get GameCube controllers to work on Windows, Zadig can be used to install a generic driver; see Dolphin's guide for detailed instructions. Mac/Linux seem to work without hassle.

A copy of Zadig is bundled in the installation folder

If you can already use controllers in Dolphin, it should work in Antistatic too. In the future, this process might be an automated option

Control rebinding

Basic controller rebinding is available in the in-game controls menu, but is early in development and only changes default controls. Keyboard rebinding still needs a lot of work.

Advanced

Advanced control rebinding can be accessed through the console (bound to `; close with escape, ctrl+d, or enter with nothing entered).

Basic help is provided by using mapping on its own:

Usage: mapping [controller ID]
  Prints mapping for controller ID, as well as lists available button/axis actions
Usage: mapping [controller ID] bind [button/axis name] [button/axis action] [axis value (keyboard only)]
  Binds button/axis to action for controller ID
Usage: mapping [controller ID] save
  Saves current mapping as the default for controller's kind
Usage: mapping [controller ID] reset
  Resets mapping to original values for controller's kind
Usage: mapping [controller ID] default
  Resets mapping to current default for controller's kind

Usage: mapping list
  Lists all default and saved mappings
Usage: mapping list [controller kind]
  Lists all default and saved mappings for controller kind (e.g. standard, gcn_native)

See also: controller (all)
  Lists active controllers; if all is specified, includes all connected controllers

Examples

Keyboard rebinding

Rebind the space bar to shield, and save as the default.
Note that all keys are case-sensitive right now; letters should be lowercase (e.g. w, not W), special keys should be capitalized (e.g. RETURN), and numbers are either e.g. A_0 (number row) or KP_0 (number pad)

Press ` to open the console.
