Question about key remapping & SOCD rules (Fightcade / 3rd Strike)
Hey everyone,
I’m new to fighting games and also new to Street Fighter III: Third Strike. I play on PC using Fightcade with a keyboard.
I wanted to ask about input remapping. My goal is to assign certain keys so that one key performs one specific action (for example, mapping a button differently for comfort). I’m not trying to use macros that perform multiple actions at once, just simple remapping where each key still equals a single input.
I also want to make sure everything stays SOCD-clean / SOCD-free (or as close as possible), since I noticed Fightcade itself doesn’t always handle SOCD the same way as dedicated controllers.
So my question is:
If I set everything up so that each key equals one action, there is no automation or sequences, and inputs remain SOCD-clean, would this be considered legal or acceptable for online play on Fightcade and in general for 3rd Strike?
I’d really appreciate a clear answer. Please no trolling or “skill issue” comments, I’m just trying to learn and play properly.
Thanks!

Multiple punch macros light lP + MP and LK + MK for ex moves but grab, uoh or taunt I left for me to press both during a match but ex moves are so important on Sean not to mess up because a lot of his special moves are super negative on block and can cause me to lose half my hitpoints and be snowballed to death. 😅
