So what happened with the hit box challenge? I was looking forward to seeing it at ReveLAtions but when I saw Toxy it looked like he had a TE.
Yes, down and up still results in up. Weāve done everything we can do to make things as easy as possible for our players while not having game breaking inputs.
Thanks for the info, Iāll make sure to remember that for future reference.
Not sure if itās relevant at all since youāll probably use a 360 pad, but our first boxes were made from PS1 controllers. Padhacks have been explored for years and thereās tons of information out there, just read up and donāt be afraid to make a mistake.
I used the new websiteās waiting list check feature and I wasnt on there. I thought I was on the wait list just from email confirmation way back. Should I be on there or do I sign up there and Iāll be moved into the appropriate spot or what? Shane200@gmail.com
If you sent an e-mail a while ago you wouldnāt be on the website list. Donāt worry about it, youāre still in our records, just not on the website.
Yeah, Iām still curiousā¦
Glad to know. I was actually curious about this myself 
Iām unaware of the programming limitation of PCBs, wondering if it would be possible to have it so that if opposite directions were being pressed it took the most recently pushed one still being pressed. For a charge move such as Sonic Boom for example, you could hold back, tap forward and punch to shoot, and begin charging back immediately upon releasing forward, having never stopped pushing on back.
This seems more convenient than my understanding of the current system, in which this form of input would result in a neutral punch.
Alternatively, can anyone think of a hardware based approach to this?
Personally I think that would run the risk of being banned due to being so close to the definition of a state-based macro.
Alright, I give up on buying one from HitBoxArcade. Can someone please give me advice on how to make one of my own?
Almost anything can be done with transistors.
Hate to hear it, but might I ask why?
Limitations of pricing and availability. Iām on the east coast, so adding the shipping cost in, I figure it may be more worth it to just buy the parts and put it together myself. I just need some advice on where to go / what to do. Now donāt get me wrong, I think what you guys are doing is great. And Iāll definitely still upvote your hitboxes, I love the concept ((being a keyboard warrior and all)) But I was hoping to get one before I moved away to college mid-august. I feel thatāll be more likely to happen if I just make my own.
You could always defer the cost by selling your current stick if you have one (Itās what I intend to do). The shippingās not that bad either.
Also consider the durability and finely tweaked layout ergonomics you wouldnāt get on a custom controller, and the fact that a custom button panel is way more likely to be banned at tournaments than a name brand people recognize has been cheat proofed.
You say that but it would only take a firmware hack/replacement or PCB swap to cheat. Surely they have to test any non-standard shit at a tourney for games that accept SOCDs.
It wouldnāt be any more difficult to hack a TE stick and they donāt test every one of those. I agree, from a practical standpoint itās equivalent, but thatās not how tournament organizers would see it and ultimately itās about satisfying them.
I would love to do thatā¦but I donāt even have a regular stick. Iāve tried using my friendās stick on so many ocassionsā¦but I canāt stand it. It just doesnāt feel natural. I rant about the hitbox so much to my pal, you can even ask him. Heās afraid to fight me once I get/make one.
Well my apologies that we donāt have more options for you. If it was feasible to do so we would have done it for sure, but for now weāre limited to the options we have now. For business reasons I canāt help you build your own, if youāre going to go that route we canāt help you.
This may sound crazy, as this is just the business/entrepreneur side of me coming out hereā¦but why not start a little subsidiary out here on the east coast? Ya know, people you know (or donāt really know and hire based on resume/application) being able to setup shop and work on making hitboxes on the east coast. Might be a good idea, that way they could be taken to tournaments and conventions on the east coast as well.
I know I may be getting a bit too vested in this, but hey, why not?
We would, but itās hard to trust people in this business, believe it or not. For someone to have an official start up in the east coast, weād have to send them our CAD so they could make a similar product as ours, if not only for a uniform design at the very least so they can get the ergonomics exactly right. That in itself is a major risk, because they could take our design, tweak it, and start their own business. Then thereās the issue of payment, giving out business accounts to more people, and basically letting someone have access to everything digital so they know what theyāre doing.
Eventually itās most likely going to be an endeavor we pursue, but for now itās too much of a business risk.
Iād offer to help you, iām in Maryland. But I donāt even know how to put a regular fightstick together, no less a hitbox. I am, however, glad you guys are thinking about expanding.
Let me know if thereās anything I can do to help, as I would like to do whatever I can to see this rise up and become whatever it can be, regardless of my being a customer or not.
