i understand. I'm trying to learn music but the systems are so much harder than just fiddling about with a keyboard.
I'm thinking you could try something like this (any time i put{} everything inside is attached to it
If joypad pressed (B or a, I forget) {
if joypad is pressed (up){
attack item (make an up animation}
}
not sure how well that would work, but it should check to make sure your pressing both to do the up slash. may have to check the other way around, as in checking for up first. could be applied to down as well, but I'm not sure about the pogo. seriously dude I would pay for an entire game remake lol. I know its likely not possible to remake the WHOLE game, but a man can dream lol. if you have a patreon or anything, id love to contribute to the finishing of this when i get some money, as HK is my favorite game of all time, so to play it on GB is amazing.
