This is my #hitbox, there are many like it, but this one is mine.

What that!?

A hitbox is an #arcade 'joystick' without the #joystick. This particular one is called the #flatbox https://github.com/jfedor2/flatbox

It's made from a custom pcb for use with mechanical keyswitches for height, making it very thin and portable. Considering I use a Steam Deck for... 80% of my gaming, portability comes in handy.

instead of rolling a stick for down, diag-right, right, you merely roll two fingers across two buttons.

wow, that seems broken as fuuu

It would be, if competitive play didn't allow for it officially and allow anyone to use one. It takes a bit of practice to get used to from a controller, and it's a bit alien to use a thumb-button for jumping. It's somewhere between a keyboard and an arcade stick.

I am Iron 4 on SF6 and moving along okay. More than an hour of play and I have to back off because I'll begin forgetting specials and I'll get sloppy and have to go do some reps in training mode, but I'm getting there.

I know I suck lmao, but the game is so much fun and the wins I do get feel so good that it's addicting as hell. I like how endless v-rival matches can be. You can just practice against ai's and real people forever.
