Sansad Showdown controls are published by the developer on the game's own page, so this guide does not guess: every key below was transcribed from the official fightkaro.com page and its game bundle, snapshot dated Nov 12, 2026. The layout is one screen tall โ€” eleven keyboard rows, four touch buttons, six combo strings โ€” and the first table here is that complete map.

The official keyboard map (11 rows)

The table mirrors the .controls block the official page shows players before the first fight. Movement uses the WASD cluster or the arrow keys, and every attack lives on the right side of the keyboard so your left hand steers while your right hand swings.

Two rows answer questions players kept asking in the game's YouTube comments (November 2026): Block is "hold back" โ€” tap the direction away from your opponent and keep it held; there is no dedicated block key โ€” and Music is the M key, which matters later in the FAQ.

Combos and specials: the official strings

Anyone running a Sansad Showdown combos list through a search engine gets forum guesswork, because the game prints its own strings in the same official block as the key map. Direction arrows mean the key you hold while striking: โ†’J is forward-plus-punch, and the sweep rides a held direction plus kick.

StringWhat you press
J,J,Jthree punches
J,J,Kpunch, punch, kick
J,K,Kpunch, kick, kick
K,Kdouble kick
โ†“J,Jcrouch punch into punch
โ†“J,Kcrouch punch into kick
โ†’J / โ†’K / โ†“Kthe three "specials" โ€” forward punch, forward kick, crouch-kick sweep

The bundle stores the same six combos in its combat moveset, so the page and the running game agree (field keyboardCombos, verified 2026-11-12). Damage and frame timing per string are not published, so no such numbers are quoted here.

Touch controls on a phone

On a phone the game asks for landscape orientation and swaps the keyboard for a stick plus four buttons. The stick handles movement with flick gestures for jump and crouch, and blocking stays consistent: hold away from the opponent. The four buttons print in one row โ€” PUNCH ยท KICK ยท GRAB ยท SUPER โ€” with SUPER inert until the SHAKTI meter is full.

The how to play walkthrough uses the keyboard layout, and the APK clarification page explains why "installing" the game on mobile still means opening a browser.

SHAKTI: the rule that governs the SUPER button

The meter beside each health bar is labeled SHAKTI, and the official bundle carries one hard rule about it: superWhenFull โ€” the SUPER move works only once the meter is full. Press L or Space (or the SUPER button on touch) at half charge and nothing happens; that is not a bug, it is the designed gate. This resolves the most upvoted controls complaint in the November 2026 comment threads, where a player reported that pressing super "does nothing" โ€” the meter simply was not full yet.

Nirmala's Budget sits on its own key (B on keyboard, a ๐Ÿ“• BUDGET button on touch) and appears only in matches against the CPU boss, but the official data publishes no threshold for when it triggers โ€” that number is absent, so we leave it absent.

Keyboard or touch: which should you pick?

Searches for sansad showdown controls pc are really asking one question: is the keyboard worth it? Yes โ€” the keyboard map gives eleven distinct inputs, including a dedicated grab key (I, or J+K together), while the touch layout compresses the same moveset into four buttons plus gestures. On a desktop, use the keyboard; on a phone in landscape, the touch set is genuinely complete rather than a trimmed port.

The game runs the same browser build either way, so you can start on a PC and hand off to a phone without learning a second game. For the round structure you are stepping into โ€” 60-second timers, three CPU difficulties โ€” the start guide picks up where this table ends.

Sansad Showdown controls FAQ

How do you defend in Sansad Showdown?

Hold the direction away from your opponent โ€” that is the entire block mechanic, listed as "hold back" in the official key map. Two different players asked this in the game's YouTube comments during November 2026, both hunting for a block button that does not exist. Tap back, keep holding, and your fighter guards until you release.

What are the special moves on keyboard?

The three specials are direction-plus-attack inputs: โ†’J, โ†’K, and the โ†“K sweep, with the six longer combo strings in the table above. The SUPER move is separate โ€” L or Space โ€” and it draws on the SHAKTI meter rather than being a directed input. All of these come from the official page, not from player reconstruction.

Why does SUPER do nothing when I press it?

Because SHAKTI is not full yet. The official bundle defines the meter with superWhenFull: true, so a half-charged SUPER input is ignored by design rather than glitched. Fill the meter โ€” it builds as you fight โ€” and the same button fires the super move.

Keyboard or touch โ€” which one should I use?

Pick by device, not by preference: keyboard if a physical keyboard is in front of you, touch if you are on a phone. The keyboard carries eleven rows including a dedicated grab, so desktop play gives you the most input precision. Both routes are official, and both appear in the tables on this page.

How does the MBAPU theme song play? I never see it

Music in general is toggled with the M key, so that is the first thing to check. The specific trigger for the MBAPU theme โ€” when the game decides to play it โ€” is not defined anywhere in the official data we verified on Nov 12, 2026, so this guide will not invent a condition. The music key is fact; the theme's trigger stays an open question we track for testing.
