The kids at Hit Box got in touch over the weekend to show us this video of their custom fight stick in action. And as someone who sucks at fighting games, I am interested.
The hit box replaces the traditional layout of stick on the left, buttons on the right with an all-button configuration. How does it work? As the video above shows, the buttons switch out analog stick control with the digital input of a button, which has the added benefit of making it a lot easier to string together special moves and combos.
It looks like learning how to use one takes a little training, but once you get the hang of it you'll be ripping off fireballs like it was nobody's business.
