Double checked to make sure all the buttons were mappes correctly- it seems they are, so I tried it again. Still no luck! ;_; Muuu.

Possible problems...

1) I have really bad carpal tunnel in both hands. It could be that I can't press the buttons fast enough, though I thought I was doing pretty good (was going at about the speed I type and I still go 60 WPM).

2) I read through the instructions it gives you in game again, and, according to them, a cursor should appear as a cue to input the Blitz moves. I see no cursor and during the rest of the Vargas fight, the display is pulling some interesting things with the regular cursor.

3) Because of my wrists, I have remapped some of the buttons. It's possible the rom hasn't accepted all the changes (my copy of FF4 is doing that too).

I mapped, re-mapped unmapped and kicked the keys. Still no luck ;_;.

Ok, now THAT'S Interesting.
I was obliged to reboot my laptop for unrelated reasons, and now suddenly it's working O_O;;;.

Thank you so much for your help though . I love Sabin now as opposed to wanting to hurt him.

It's really not necessary to post three times in a row - the 'edit/delete' button is handy for those little changes. ~ Big D
