nottahitbox (I had to do it)

I totally had to do it. I boxed my console some time back because I ran out of time to play/practice/be free and FS was a total distraction (thanks, Tricky). but over the last month I've been puttering around with pieces of sticks and plexiglass I had lying around and so with a spare 20 minutes here and there I threw this together.



totally not finished (haven't even sanded down the spill over glue on the wood). I just couldn't wait so I unboxed the console to test my solders etc and, for once, everything actually worked the first time. I honestly think that is a first. I usually have to shake my fists at the empty and loathsome air.

button layout came from the web, some chap had uploaded a pretty good knockoff of the design. sanwa buttons came from stock I had left over - everything was basically old or half finished projects that I took apart and threw together Frankenstein styles.

Anyway, there is definitely an adjustment period. especially the button placement. but after about a half hour solid of mucking about I was slowly re-learning the game. I had to go through the movelist for Pai and then do the tutorials all over again just to try and re-train my hands.

I'm about to re-box the console but in October I'll pull it all out again and see if anyone is still playing. be fun trying to get average again on a different input method.

 

Welcome, to the future.

 

Please can you send me the template you used?
Anyway... looks pretty solid

 

PM me your email - I can't remember the url, but I have the image.

 

you were the Brad player that used the Hitbox at EVO, right? Did you play VF previous to having a hitbox?

 

I played 5o casually on stick. I bought a hitbox specifically for VF and FS, since that's when I started getting serious. I use a stick for other games I played, though if I ever pick up Persona or the new GG I want to try learning those on the box.

 

Yeah, Panda was playing fighting games (including vanilla and FS even) prior to having a Hit Box. Before he had his Hit Box dual-modded, he played VF on stick and on hit box depending on the system, even ^_^
