In Big Picture Mode: add DOAO as a non-Steam game -> start it -> Shift+Tab to open the overlay -> set Steam Input Per-Game Setting to Forced On -> close game.

# use a joypad with a deadzone that is "baked-in" (like the Logitech F310) # use the ANALOG ON/OFF switch that comes with certain peripherals (like the PS2 DualShock) # use a device that has no analog stick at all (arcade sticks, Hitboxes, keyboards) If the problem is real, you can follow some possible workarounds:

First, verify if that's really the case in Training Mode. It lacks of a "deadzone", so if your analog stick is not perfectly centered, it's going to register unwanted directional inputs even when you're not touching it. if you're having controller issues and feel like you can hardly move around, it's most likely caused by the analog stick problem. # if everything fails, there's a more comprehensive guide HERE # sometimes it's enough to just quit the match and fight again Usually, this can be fixed if one of you two (possibly both!) access the router settings and do one of the following: getting 1000 ms ping to your opponent means that the direct peer-to-peer connection between you two has failed (NAT problems), so the slow server is stepping in to "bridge the gap". click the MEGAPHONE! icon when you're stuck or to quit matches optionally, you can press the Minimize blue arrow on the bottom left corner of the screen to hide the chat mash Spacebar (keyboard) or Start (controller) to skip replays, victory poses, and do rematches to fight players: right click on them -> left click Battle for, and wait for them to accept select your character/costume/stage from Alt+C -> Role (warning: never press Close in the secondary pop-up window, it crashes the game) Press Alt+T to enter training mode, Alt+O to open the options, do your thing, and press OK to save once in the lobby for the first time, you should set up your controller/keyboard. The channel list being empty is normal behavior, just proceed

You can just mash Enter on your keyboard to go through login menus faster. there are no accounts, you don't need to register. The defaults are the least problematic so you probably shouldn't do this anyway optionally, if you want to change language (English/Russian/Chinese Simplified) or resolution, you should run GAME_OPTIONS which opens the launcher, press Save & Exit when done and finally run the game from GAME_START. first of all, download and extract the game
