Fightcord

Fightcade, but it looks and works like Discord.

A free mod for the Fightcade app: a Discord-style look you can make your own, voice chat with your opponent, and a stack of tools for competitive players. One installer, and it keeps itself up to date.

Talk to your opponent

Voice chat during a set, between Fightcord players. When the set starts you’re asked to join, or it connects by itself with friends; it ends with the match.

  • Voice-activated, with a sensitivity slider that keeps stick clicks out.
  • Ctrl+Shift+M mutes and unmutes, even with the emulator in front.
  • Straight between the two PCs, encrypted. Nothing is stored or recorded.
  • Off until you turn it on. Both players have to join.

FFSee who has Fightcord

An F next to a player’s name means they have Fightcord; a green F with a mic means their voice chat is on. Challenges tell you when voice chat is available.

Talk to your opponent

Rankings, replays and profiles, inside Fightcade

The channel banner’s buttons open the game’s leaderboard, recent matches to watch, events and player profiles right in the app, no browser needed.

Ctrl+Shift+H blurs other players’ names, avatars and chat. Challenges wait in a queue, one card at a time and none mid-match.

OBS overlay

A scoreboard to add in OBS as a Browser Source: you vs your opponent, ranks, the score and tonight’s record. Served from your own PC only.

And the rest

A Discover page made for you, friends with online and match alerts, player notes and tags, a lobby feed of upsets and streaks, tournament reminders, your game and opponent on your Discord status, chat translation, :emoji: shortcodes and a login screen with style.

In English, Português (Brasil) and Español.

And the rest

Private and fair

No server, no analytics

Fightcord has no server of its own. It talks to Fightcade’s API, GitHub for updates, and what you switch on. To find other Fightcord players and set up voice calls it uses free public relays: your name goes hashed, you can hide, and nothing is stored. Your settings and history stay on your PC.

Fair play

It only changes what you see and click in the Fightcade app. It never touches the emulator, game memory, inputs or netcode, and never plays, challenges, accepts or declines anything on its own.

Updates itself

New versions install themselves when you open Fightcade, verified by checksum. Uninstall any time and your previous setup can be put back.

Questions

How do I install it?

Close Fightcade, run FightcordSetup.exe and click Install. Open Fightcade and a short welcome screen walks you through the rest.

Does my opponent need Fightcord for voice chat?

Yes. Voice chat works between Fightcord players who both have it turned on (Settings → Voice chat), and both have to join. The F next to a name shows who has it.

Can I hide that I use Fightcord?

Yes: Settings → Voice chat → “Show that I use Fightcord”. You still see others; voice chat needs it on, so your opponent can find you.

“Windows protected your PC”?

The installer isn’t code-signed (certificates cost money), so SmartScreen warns the first time: More info → Run anyway.

My antivirus removed the installer.

Some antivirus apps (Malwarebytes, for example) flag new unsigned installers by AI guesswork, such as “MachineLearning/Anomalous”. That’s not a known threat. Everything is open source, so you can read the code or build the installer yourself; if you trust it, restore it from quarantine.

Something looks broken after a Fightcade update.

Hold Shift while Fightcade starts to open it without Fightcord, then check Settings → Diagnostics or open an issue on GitHub.

Ready for your next set?

Free, one installer, and it updates itself.
