Having Problems Playing Game

Well I'm playing Final Fantasy 6, and I'm having a royal pain with this. I'm at the part where Sabin needs to input his Blitz Technique...But there's one problem. I can't seem to do it. It requires pressing < > < then A (or commonly known as X on my keyboard)...but after I press those buttons, it says in the game that the keys were wrong. Help! I noticed in Megaman X that the movement controls respond somewhat slow, so I was wondering...what's the dilly-o? Is there some way I can slow down the emulator so that the controls respond with the input? Can I change my controller configuration? No, I cannot get a gamepad as I am poor. Thanks...

The SNES version of FFVI/FFIII requires to to input the Blitzes fast. I've never managed to pull off a Blitz without the aid of key combinations.

Well yeah, I've tried the key combination but it doesn't seem to be working.

Really? I remember people saying that you could take your time. Naturally, your party would get slaughtered in the meantime.

The inputs have a ridiculously small execution timeframes. Square fixed this in the PSX remake.

I do from pummel to bumrush on my keyboard with no problems.

Maybe I just suck at pulling off those Blitzes. Although the last time I tried was on my old computer, and if anyone of you remember when I talked about that old piece of metal, you know it was slow too. Maybe that's why.

@Not a Gamer: Just think if Ted Woolsey would have made an honest mistake and wrote in Leet River.

Ah, I finally mastered the key combination thingamajigger. All better

I've been playing all morning and I'm already at the part where Terra transformed into the Esper-Lookin' thing. I love this game!

I would assume this is bad writing for Lethe...
Pronounced 'lete' in greek (theta letter).

I played it 4 or 5 years ago on ZSNES, and always wondered why I could never pull off the Blitzes. Thanks for the info.

I think the best way to get the keycombos working was to simulate a full button press, but space them out by at least 3 frames. Never really had a problem with FF6, but trying to get them to work with something like street fighter 2 was way different. (That and I never took the time.)

I've always used 2 frames, and they work.

Yeah, I just jumped to three after tyring for a while with no frame delays, and getting that damned error message that spits out when you mess up on Sabin's blitz.
