Helpful Answers

Question: How do I perform special combos or jump kicks on keyboard?

Classic arcade button taps, use Jump (Space) then quickly tap/hold attack direction/key. Attack is generally Space+Arrow direction or S for player 1/2—tweak button settings for perfect combo timing.

Does the difficulty scale with number of local or virtual players?

Emulated arcade difficulty does vary; typically, the world difficulty remains consistent but player count means more damage per wave—allowing easier times through coordinated attacks or causing some additional chaos—classic feel.

Is there continues/lives feature available?

Yes! Classic arcade lives and continues—if players run out continues can extend the quarter-munching style into fun extended play sessions! Lives and continues vary per system/state of the virtual cabinet settings.

Does keyboard co-op support all four emulated players online?

Yes—modern emulators configure each player’s specific keyboard: assign unique key-bindings before launch to avoid overlapping inputs. Configure in controller settings—assign arrows/WASD plus unique attack buttons individually for the easiest arcade experience with friends online/side-layout playable.

How do I pick up/drop items or use environmental items?

The classic game uses the Attack button—walk over any object or weapon, press it to equip—simple drop by walking to a bare space while moving? It might be simple auto-equip/drop, the experience mimics the feel—arcade control—as it was. Experiment freely.
