What's your kill button?

[999_Springs]

I might create a poll for this but I just don't know what the most popular options are. I believe most people still use K. I use Enter just because it's easier to hit. I know of some highscorers that use Up. I think xaelar uses Z...?

[fawk]

K.


Is Enter not too big?

[Nexx]

I didn't like how K wasn't near anything, so I changed it to C, which is near my left shift jump. I tried Z but I found that I would occasionally kill myself by accident. Dunno why I didn't pick X.

[Tunco]

I use k. It's healthy for your blood-system (you move your hands) , because your hands and body get humble and humbler when you play N occasionally.

Aside from that, I like using k. It never occured to me that I thought I should change it or I am uncomfortable with it.

[golf]

I use up.

[Scrivener]

I use down.

[OneSevenNine]

I use A, which is right under where my index finger is placed when I play.

[Raif]

I use up. I can kill myself faster that way.

[otters~1]

I also use up. Perfecting a run is a lot less annoying when you can restart it milliseconds faster.

Hold on. Pet peeve needs to be satisfied.

I believe most people still use K.

Based on what, exactly? Without examining any data, why are you already at a conclusion?
My little sister has actually been doing this lately, so my impatience with it has been growing. "[Tsukatu], what do people in China usually eat?" "Lots of rice." "Nah, I think they eat a lot of salad." "..."


Anyway, I use the up arrow as my kill button, and down as my pause button. I like having the kill button quickly accessible because I usually prefer to just kill the ninja and start over instead of digging myself out of a mess I get into when I slip up.

[Pheidippides]

I prefer the Klassic suicide key.

[ToeFaceKiller]

Up to jump and right shift to kill so it's all excessively accessible.

I will never understand how you play N with one hand. I've seen your chimneying video, and it makes a ton of sense, but gaming controllers have always been two-handed, so it feels so unnatural to me. My fingers are also not that agile in trying to do multiple things on the same hand. Not sure if this is a cause for or effect of my preference for two-handed gaming.

[ToeFaceKiller]

The guy who showed me the game had it set as up to jump, so that's just how I learned I guess. I tried switching it up a couple times, but failed.

Same with Seifer.

Based on asking a few people on #n-highscores last month and finding that there is still a sizeable proportion of K users there. Satisfied now?

I agree with Pheidi. Like, I don't get the idea that you can both press jump button really fast (which is actually something not quite that easy for the majority - for me it's easy tho) and controlling the ninja.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Izzy]

Kay.

[TheRealOne]

kspace, kspace, kspace, kspace.

[numa_ninja]

Funnily enough, I'm the same as Tsukatu.

[Scrivener]

I have the pgUp and pgDn keys to the left and right of the up arrow, which is directly below the shift key. so i now use those as my directions and shift as jump, which is the same basic shape as l/r/u. plus i get the double shift, and i have the up arrow as pause and ctrl as kill (to the left of pgUp)

Indeed.

I literally cannot wall-jump using up.

[Ferox]

I use klassic. My jump key is Z, though.
