- The game shows the right buttons for each controller (✕/A, □/X…).
- The Gamepad menu has a live test, button remapping and rumble.
- Controller not showing up? Press any button: the browser only reveals it after that.
Tips for game night
Put it on the TV
An HDMI cable from the PC to the TV and everyone watches the fight. In the browser, F11 goes full screen.
Nobody falls too far behind
Whoever loses a round picks a power card. That way whoever is getting beaten gets back in the game.
Short match for newcomers
The first to win 5 rounds takes the match, and a first-timer's first match only goes to 3. Easy to pass the controller around without long waits.
