Analog Stick Range
Extended Range RivalsOfAether uses wide analog ranges:
Minimum : 28Neutral : 128Maximum : 228 This provides 100 units of travel in each direction for maximum precision. Modifier Coordinates Mod X (LT1) Cardinal Directions
DI/Airdodge/Up-B Angles
Input Coordinates Offset Usage MX + Left/Right 128 ± 66 66 Horizontal MX + Left/Right + A 128 ± 44 44 Horizontal tilts MX + Up/Down 128 ± 44 44 Vertical MX + Up/Down + A 128 ± 67 67 Vertical tilts
Extra angles for DI, Airdodge, and Up-B: Additional Input Coordinates Usage Default (59, 23) Base angle + C-Down (49, 24) DI & Up-B + C-Left (52, 31) DI only + C-Up (49, 35) DI only + C-Right (51, 43) DI only
Mod X provides precise shallow angles ideal for horizontal recovery and DI.
Mod Y (LT2) Cardinal Directions
DI/Airdodge/Up-B Angles
Input Coordinates Offset Usage MY + Left/Right 128 ± 44 44 Horizontal MY + Up/Down 128 ± 67 67 Vertical
Extra angles for DI, Airdodge, and Up-B: Additional Input Coordinates Usage Default (44, 113) Base steep angle + C-Down (44, 90) DI & Up-B + C-Left (44, 74) DI only + C-Up (45, 63) DI only + C-Right (47, 57) DI only
Mod Y provides steep angles ideal for vertical recovery and high DI angles.

Angle Coverage
48 DI Angles, 24 Up-B Angles, 16 Airdodge Angles RivalsOfAether mode provides extensive angle coverage:
DI Angles : 48 total angles for optimal directional influenceUp-B Angles : 24 recovery angles for precise movementAirdodge Angles : 16 angles for directional airdodges This is achieved through combinations of:
No modifier (8 directions)
Mod X + directions (multiple angles)
Mod Y + directions (multiple angles)
C-stick modifiers (5 additional angles per modifier)
SOCD Configuration RivalsOfAether requires 2IP No Reactivation for all directional pairs:
Left/Right (LF3/LF1) - SOCD_2IP_NO_REAC
Down/Up (LF2/RF4) - SOCD_2IP_NO_REAC
C-Left/C-Right (RT3/RT5) - SOCD_2IP_NO_REAC
C-Down/C-Up (RT2/RT4) - SOCD_2IP_NO_REAC
Special Features Tilt Attack Support When holding A (RT1) with modifiers:
Tilt Inputs Modifier Direction Result MX Left/Right Horizontal tilt (44 offset) MX Up/Down Vertical tilt (67 offset) MY No tilt-specific behavior
Nunchuk Support When a Wii Nunchuk is connected:
Z button → L trigger (shield)C button → Lightshield (analog 49)Analog stick → Overrides left stick completely C-Stick Disabled in D-Pad Layer When both Mod X + Mod Y are held:
C-stick is centered (128, 128)
D-Pad inputs are active
Prevents accidental C-stick inputs during menu navigation
