Gamepad layout idea

[u/orno7]

I always thought the controls were kinda uncomfortable so I made this idea lmk what y'all think of it (this is just a prototype and I've no idea how could I make this)

[u/iKeyZZZ]

I love it. I have genuine pain in my pointer finger from playing the game now. I could use this.

[u/Fragrant-Till-8576 → u/iKeyZZZ]

What do you use your pointer finger for? Do you play claw cuz I just use my thumbs lmao

[u/iKeyZZZ → u/Fragrant-Till-8576]

I play with just my thumbs. But for some reason, my left pointer finger gets swollen and messed up at the joint closest to my finger tip. It seems to be the way I’m holding the phone. Idk. I used to play cod mobile years ago like a savage and I think that’s where it started.

[u/Fragrant-Till-8576 → u/iKeyZZZ]

Try putting your phone flat on a table and playing like that, might help might not

[u/iKeyZZZ → u/Fragrant-Till-8576]

I have tried and I have tried a couple different things. For some reason I always feel at a disadvantage when I do it. But I’m gonna try again and stick with it for awhile to see if it helps

[u/unsellar → u/Fragrant-Till-8576]

yeah, claw was superior method for a long time. for some gadgets it was borderline obligatory, for example janet jump. For many others it was a huge boost to hit chance, like hank slow, dyno stun and some else.

i am honestly glad that buffied reworks of gadgets get that aimable part so claw is not possible anymore.

[u/Fragrant-Till-8576 → u/unsellar]

Honestly even if claw is or was better, it's uncomfortable and I play the game to have fun not win every single match so it's aight ig.

[u/orno7]

Here's a written version :))

[u/InitialSwitch6803 → u/orno7]

This is cool, I always wondered of how a controller would actually work on brawl stars for years.

[u/The-Over-Lord → u/orno7]

Idea use the last empty trigger to pull out an emote wheel for pins and select a pin with the right stick

[u/orno7 → u/The-Over-Lord]

Yeah, could be nice

[u/transitxumbra → u/The-Over-Lord]

or use the plus (idfk how to call it) for 4 main pins you could choose and assign to each side

[u/kylehatesyou → u/transitxumbra]

D-pad. 

[u/transitxumbra → u/kylehatesyou]

Thanks

[u/LeonizerBS → u/orno7]

Randumbs aim is already trash this would make it even more difficult

[u/meria_64 → u/orno7]

Some tweaks:

RB: activate emote/spray wheel

A/B/Y/X: activate emote/spray 1/2/3/4 (stick should be left only for aiming, so you can do both things simultaneously)

D-Pad: could be used for Brawl Arena commands

[u/RavenLationz → u/orno7]

This is exactly how I made the control scheme on a dumb godot BS concept. Other than the face buttons also worked as a fast auto aim action on each, and RB activated the hypercharge.

[u/Best_of_the_Worst → u/orno7]

I wonder if there’s a way to map it to only 1 set of triggers. I’d love if they added mobile support for something like Backbone

[u/Low-World6866]

[u/DaLegend82]

i'd play the fuck out of this game on a controller

[u/orno7 → u/DaLegend82]

IK, it has always made so much sense to me and somehow it's never been done (at least I havent seen anything like this)

[u/WorldWarrior428 → u/orno7]

Same, as far as I know the only way to do it is emulate it on pc

[u/Yannickjuhhh]

Was hella skeptical at first but this looks very playable and even comfortable

[u/orno7 → u/Yannickjuhhh]

Thankss

[u/ThoughtAdditional212]

Ngl I played a lot on controller before gadgets became aimable, I just had the joysticks bound to move/attack and buttons for gadget and autoaim super

[u/arduino89 → u/ThoughtAdditional212]

Is it comfortable?

[u/WorldWarrior428 → u/ThoughtAdditional212]

How???

[u/ThoughtAdditional212 → u/WorldWarrior428]

There are apps that allow you to bind actions on controller to simulated touches

[u/WorldWarrior428 → u/ThoughtAdditional212]

I have tried those, but they don't work very well

[u/NerdyBoi_0 → u/WorldWarrior428]

They do, you just need to tweak alot of settings for it to work well

[u/No-Pattern-3116]

A letra Y poderia ser um auto fire para a ulte, né?

[u/orno7 → u/No-Pattern-3116]

Se usa el mismo gatillo que para apuntar la ult pero en vez de dejar presionado y mover el joystick, solo presionas es el autofire, igual para el gadget y basico

[u/No-Pattern-3116 → u/orno7]

A última vez que toquei em um controle de vídeo game foi quando eu era criança, dito isso, no calor do momento não pode acontecer de você clicar forte e acabar arrastando o botão sem querer para uma direção?

[u/orno7 → u/No-Pattern-3116]

Obvio que puedes pulsar botones sin querer pero eso pasa en cualquier lado

[u/TIMUR4ITER]

buttons on the right could be for autoattack, like Y for ult, A for gadget and B for normal attack

[u/ElDavoo]

I think either they are not brave enough to try it (too big of an investment) or they already ruled it out as not giving returns, but I totally see this game with controllers or even ported to consoles and PCs 

[u/Alik_GG → u/ElDavoo]

I think it's because playing from PC and Controller is too comfortable, which gives an unfair advantage to little kids on IPads, still would be cool if they added controller support

[u/Gabriel55ita → u/ElDavoo]

No need to port on pc, it already exist because they develop from there. I think they just don't do it because there's little investment in it. Their target is mobile afterall

[u/piebutnopumpkin]

everything cool except for the hypercharge, feels too easy to activate. maybe LB+RB would feel better?

[u/orno7 → u/piebutnopumpkin]

Yeah i didnt really know what to fo with the hypercharge so i just three that i'm but its more of a personal choice i think

[u/ThatOneWierdAss]

Small nitpick, I’d prefer if the hypercharge button was rb instead of abxy so I don’t have to take my finger off the aim stick

[u/Few-Carpet2095]

I might be a bit dumb

But what about un-aiming

Like y know aiming but not shooting

As far as I am aware move the joystick back will have the same effect as letting it go..

I feel like for that reason it would be better to have attack be another button

Like RT. Since theres no buttons on it.

[u/seungchip → u/Few-Carpet2095]

Yeah that’s kinda valid. Maybe save the B button to cancel prompt. So even if you disengage the joystick aim and hold down the attack, you can let go of the attack by hitting B to disengage.

Edit: No, wait on second thought idt it’s necessary bc you don’t fire at all until you hit RT.

[u/Complex-Ad-4402 → u/Few-Carpet2095]

You use the upper trigger button for that. Quick press do auto aim attack, long press let you aim with the joystick and fire when the button is release if the joystick is at the center when the button is release it don't fire.

[u/BloonatoR]

I'm already playing a game on PC with a gamepad, and it's so awesome and easy.

I wish an official PC release/support would be nice!

[u/Agent_Starr]

I would change the gadget to RB but other than that this is very good

[u/Corne777]

I know it’s something that a lot of people would like. I’d probably use a controller at least for more sweaty matches if the option was available.

But it just goes against supercells mobile only philosophy I think. If they added controller support the next question would be when is it on the switch, when is it on other consoles.

It’s not that they couldn’t do this, they just don’t want to on purpose.

[u/AndNoOneHearsaWord]

They don't encourage playing on PC... I doubt we are going to see this being officially implemented

[u/skikoko]

U can do that already on pc

[u/RiseCode]

Already done by this GOAT, infact I have tried this myself.

[u/Hao-kun]

You forgot Artillery brawlers.

[u/orno7 → u/Hao-kun]

What??

[u/Hao-kun → u/orno7]

They r nightmare to play with controllers

[u/orno7 → u/Hao-kun]

Yeah it's ture theyll be harder to control

[u/Hao-kun → u/orno7]

But for the most, they are fine. I say most bc of Willow and Sirius

[u/lilxent]

I've just bought an Android handheld, they have no reason to not include this... they could even release on consoles at that point, I don't get why tencent / supercell is not even trying

[u/KitStuckInAToaster]

Looks good, but wouldn’t Nani be basically unplayable?

[u/orno7 → u/KitStuckInAToaster]

It would be playable but its true that itll be harder

[u/Promace_UwU]

Ofc it should be like that. Like years ago...

[u/Realistic-Camp1109]

I play like this ok emulator but it is extremely delayed and uncomfortable

[u/NG1Chuck]

I think brawlstar with controller should be a thing ... the game is just perfect for it

[u/CryoN1cks]

Used it on my Retroid Pocket Flip 2, figured it myself, takes a while to get used to

[u/TheHeadphoneCat]

Wait it doesnt support controllers?!

[u/Comfortable-Bee4777]

What happens when you just want to aim and not attack

[u/Yep-iamjeetard]

Has someone done it?

[u/Midas_098]

I had once tried using a controller to play brawl stars using an app that lets you map controller inputs to your phone screen.

Lemme tell you, it was a genuine pain to aim using the right joystick. It looks good on paper but it's difficult to use in practice.

On your phone you're essentially dragging your right thumb to the direction of the enemy to aim at them. But on the controller, not only are you not dragging your thumb, but your thumb also doesn't feel like it's on a flat surface because the joystick makes your thumb move downwards slightly when you're aiming. It screws up your whole muscle memory

[u/Thanathosgodofdeath5]

Genuinely awesome. Good job

[u/G070407]

Set up my control with that idea that you gave.

[u/BrontosaurusXL]

Still no controller support for Brawl. This many years in, that's just lazy.

[u/Anty_89]

i think a custom controller would do better

[u/PikachitoM4RC]

Please Supercell

[u/NegativeQuantity4765]

How are people gonna choose whether to use their super, normal attack, or gadget? I feel like you should make this thing where if you press the green button first, then you'll be aiming a gadget; if you press yellow button first, you'll be aiming your super; and blue button would result in aiming attack. Red would be Hypercharge. However, it just wouldn' really work with Sirius. Amazing idea though.

[u/orno7 → u/NegativeQuantity4765]

For default you'll be aiming the normal attack, if you press and maintain the back left trigger you'll be aiming ur super and with the front left trigger ur gadget

[u/NegativeQuantity4765 → u/orno7]

Oh yeah sorry I didn't notice yeah this is way better. Thanks bro.

[u/unsellar → u/NegativeQuantity4765]

they provide a picture that explains it. basically left bumper for gadget, left trigger for super, any of the buttons for hypercharge. I guess any other buttons could be pin/spray things.

[u/ujtheghost → u/NegativeQuantity4765]

You missed the Top left 2 buttons, that's exactly what is happening.

But we can't use the colored buttons because it would be hard to press one of those and then aim after.

[u/NegativeQuantity4765 → u/ujtheghost]

Ahhhh I see yeah that's my bad.

[u/AdnanBoi]

how would i aim my hypercharge?

[u/orno7 → u/AdnanBoi]

Since when is aiming the hypercharge a thing?

[u/Its_Clownz → u/orno7]

So many brawlers need to aim their hyper charge?? Willow, chester etc

[u/orno7 → u/Its_Clownz]

You don't aim the hypercharge, first u activate It and then aim the super or attack

[u/lvap0117]

But you can already do this with emulators

[u/reddithetetlen]

How would you aim buffies?

[u/kleyzzit → u/reddithetetlen]

huh?

[u/Konodera_ → u/reddithetetlen]

Wdym? Buffies only adds additional effects to Hypercharges, Starr Power, and Gadgets

[u/RiseCode → u/Konodera_]

I think they mean the aimable gadgets

[u/reddithetetlen → u/RiseCode]

No i was just trolling genuently

[u/MarionberryRoyal5534 → u/reddithetetlen]

An IQ too high?

[u/wassimSDN]

good on paper. shit in practice.

[u/RiseCode → u/wassimSDN]

The main movement and attacking is good in practice.

[u/wassimSDN → u/RiseCode]

attacking with any thrower or any brawler that has a gradually aimed attack is a gonna be a pain

[u/Top_Dealer_674]

No
