A PS3/PC Hit Box is $160, we’re currently reviewing our price on dual mods. We don’t currently sell PS2 compatible boxes, but it might be something we look into in the future for custom orders. If you need a PS2 box soon, it would be best to make it yourself for the time being.
Not in the stick business here, just wanting my own right away :). Thanks for the great layout!!!

Gonna’ get my learn on later tonight.
i think jab with my ring finger would be weird.
Hey guys.
Do you think there will be more hitbox users in the future, or pro players will stick with the traditional arcade stick approach?
it has been my experience that people will exploit whatever works to win. so if the hitbox proves itself as the winning strategy, the pros will follow.
Edit: That’s why i don’t win anymore, my reluctance to improve my game…i’m so old school.
Why would you be hitting jab with your ring finger?
index=jab/middle=strong/ring=fierce
Left hand is ring=back/middle=down/index=forward
Thumbs are up.
hahaha, did you know that the picture is flipped on the checkout my stick thread…
I didn’t click on the picture in here when i made that comment.
Oh shit, I upped the wrong one from before I flipped it!
Yeah, it’s standard, not lefty.
could you make a hitbox ready to be soldered to a ps2 controller? i could do that part myself, but the actual case modding and everything else is over my head lol
i figure the best thing to use is the ps2 controller considering theres tons of ps2 fighting games and its the only controller that theres an adapter for every other system…ps2=universal pretty much
Yes and no. More universal solutions would be UPCB (discontinued) MC Cthulhu (including the Kitty and other Cthulhu family boards) or Project box PCBs.
Guys, this thread is for talking about these things outside of asking specific questions about the Hitbox. That is a trademarked product and they have their own area to discuss specifics.
I’m not trying to be a jerk, I’m trying to make their lives a little easier. If they’re having to check this thread for questions about the Hitbox as well as their own very busy thread… that’s not fair.
In other news: I spent about 30 minutes playing around with this so far. You really have to retrain your brain, but it’s not as alien as it first seems. Towards the end I was able to pull off some X-23 bnb stuff and Ammy’s basics. Spencer was taking me a little longer since wire grappling in 8 directions quickly is such a big part of his game. I’m seeing the potential here and I’m very glad I’ve jumped on board. It’s not that I’ll never pick up my arcade stick/pad again, it’s that I have another option. Sometimes you feel like a nut… and all that. I will say that I think more about the buttons I’m pressing with the keytar which can only be a good thing.
I would love to see someone mod an actual keytar into a controller. If I had the skills I’d do it myself.
I take it no one knows how to prevent SOCDs on a fightpad then, it’s frustrating cuz I could code it but I don’t know so much about doing a hardware equivalent.
I’m having real problems with tiger-knee inputs. This one’s gonna take a little bit.
Thing is, once you learn the input, it just sort of rolls right out.
The trend toward fight boards can be more attributed to SF4’s ubiquity, and with the influx of new players, the new consensus that stick is not “the only way to play.” This became more obvious than ever when Inthul perfected Sanford at…what event was it?
Most people still play on sticks.
Most new players come in playing on pad, and some indeed have simply migrated back to it.
That trend also gives way to people like me who are coming into the FGC proper from the PC scene, where we played on keyboard, and plenty of us are either playing on actual keyboards, or sticks converted to be fight boards.
oh man…i just had an idea: a keyboard made out of tiny arcade buttons hahah
the only thing i have playing on a keyboard is that on a low end or stock laptop can only have so many inputs at once so you cant press more than 3 or 4 buttons unless you have a gaming keyboard
also what i was talking about with the ps2 being universal i was talking in general…you can get an adapter for ps2 to anything pretty much that will work on any controller…sure there is other ways of doing this but adapters from the ps2 is by far the easiest
Got the buttons, harness, and connectors in the mail already… Just waiting on the panel, art, and plexi now… I might make a temporary one of thick plexi or wood this weekend just to try it out until the ones I ordered get here.
If you’re padhacking, it can be pretty straightforward. E.g.:
The feature you’re talking about that you want out of a keyboard is called n-Key Rollover, or nKRO. Some “gaming” keyboards have it (SteelSeries), some don’t (pretty much everyone else).
I made a panel out of thin wood to use until the custom one arrives… I just got started with this layout and it feels so foreign… Feels like when I got the stick for the first time… Glad I made it before the other panel arrives… The more time on this thing the better, the learning curve seems pretty steep, everything has to be relearned.
