[magdrop3] P1 Mirror Match Mode

Post by Loopiloop »

During challange mode, this code changes your character to be the same one you are fighting, which makes weak characters much tougher.
Magical drop generally is a game with extreme strenght dispairity between characters. Mirror matches fix this, which is why it is common practice to only play mirror matches during tournaments.

Code: Select all

I don't get this, you are changing the word @ 1000FA from 008F to 0F8F - is that correct? Just seems a bit odd....

I change the word @1000FA, which is the selected character for player 1, to the contents of the word @ 1000FB, which is the selected character for player 2 / the CPU, minus 80 to change to manual control, since otherwise it would also just play as a cpu.

This causes player 1 to automatically change character to match the opponent. In this game's competitive scene, only mirror matches are played to compensate for the wild power imbalance between characters. This cheatcode imitates that.
