This is the first time I've hired an editor for a video, hope you enjoy!

KZbin shorts could be very viable now you've got quick cuts to visual examples on the table

[@loganthinkshecan]

They did a great job

[@coalminecanary1277]

it reaaaally shows man they did great

[@AndyLO2]

@@Scroteydada i'm thinking of getting into those very soon, been getting a lot of emails about it from KZbin lol

[@Kaktusownik]

it shows, quite an improvement

[@kurii-]

I'll also add that hitboxes increases your defense. Blocking overheads from crouch-blocking is a lot easier and faster since you're just letting go of crouch without worrying about undershooting (staying crouched) or overshooting (jumping).

[@mrnobody6609]

I bought a Hitbox for the sole purpose of doing instant air dashes. I practiced for hours and hours on a stick and rarely ever got it, but I was instantly doing them on a Hitbox with 100% accuracy.

[@lilsoonerfaninmo]

Because leverless controllers literally remove the "guesswork" of your inputs, letting you be clear and concise with what you want with zero room for error, while letting you be faster with inputs instead of fuffing about with a stick/lever

[@MikeyDLuffy]

Swapped to hitbox when sf6 dropped and Cammys divekick is the exact reason I want to go back to stick haha. It felt so easy for me on stick but I think I get it like maybe 50% in real matches despite grinding just the one motion for hours in training mode so far

[@seldomsadsam]

Amazing video again! The editing compliments your clear explanations and your calming voice!

[@Zipiedion]

Another useful application of hitboxes is in fuzzy jumping btw. Since you can jump on hitbox by pressing both down and up at the same time, you can hold down back and tap up very quickly while still holding down back to be vulnerable for the least amount of time to lows if you're getting true blockstring'ed

[@IceColdProfessional]

This is excellent analysis!

[@iveetrainer1439]

Switched to pad recently, feel this. After a month of playing on pad, motions aren't an issue, movement is. I cant walk forward for one frame and crouch block on the next without fucking up my hands, there's too much travel time to be frame perfect and movement feels so sluggish because of it.

[@geekerlmao]

solid vid boss been thinking about picking one up for this new SF

[@htfrkells]

Awesome video bud!! Crossup!!!

[@anna5273]

It was real apparent at Evo. Movements were just different. All the micro steps. Charge characters with advantage. Just saying

[@ihavetubes]

I have one, if your into grapplers its hard to pull off certain moves, its perfect with other characters though.

[@StressedInProductions]

I like the editing a lot, looks really fresh. I think I'll stick to my keyboard though. I've gotten used to it by now and i get most of the advantages anyway. Good video

[@nikilk]

The one thing keyboard don’t get vs a hitbox is that nice big round curved convex buttons. Those change how you feel while playing.

[@gregorymirabella1423]

The buttons on hotbox look comfy, but a keyboard is nothing new to me and basically does the same thing, so I'm good with that.

[@HushMySweet1]

Fair point about the movement, and there are some really cool shortcuts and such on all-button controllers. Anyway, I dig the edits. Hopefully it helps boost your retention and helps you reach your next YT goal. Nice vid!

[@AndyLO2]

thanks!

[@Troonielicious]

I use keyboard

[@nikilk]

The one thing keyboard don’t get vs a hitbox is that nice big round curved convex buttons. Those change how you feel while playing. Simple things like double yoinking a single button with 2 fingers is possible because of that big round shape. The soft rounded shape makes all the world of a difference as a result.

[@brandonnleyva100]

Haute pads are 30$ AliExpress and they’re cheaper than a gaming keyboard lol 😊

[@CunningYT]

Editor was definitely worth it. Great video brother

[@AndyLO2]

Appreciate it!

[@jayjayp9618]

Hi buddy quick question if I use a elite 2 controller d-pad for movement and remap the four back buttons to up down left right could I get same results as a hitbox and is this considered cheating.

[@zpacezekonia4482]

This was interesting since I play with a PS4 controller. I wonder if the transistion will be hard but it would interesting. Btw love the edit on this video. Really clean man.

I have tried keyboard out looking to maybe switch to hitbox. My problem is 632146 inputs which are very common on my character, i have a hard time getting the 4 input quickly enough because fingers 3 and 4 are not independent, so i just get down back. I guess its something to practice a lot.

[@TikTakTony69]

Editor doing good! 👍

[@battousai412]

Hows this on mk1 stress test or any nrs game?

I sadly got wrist pain after playing 1 hour on the snack box micro…

i want to switch to a hitbox but finding out about them after the release of sf6 theyre now sold out for months 😢

[@ejpedi9964]

Can I use the Hitbox for Nintendo Switch?

[@ThotBusterNo1]

Decided to make the switch soon. Movement was the main reason why. Biggest obstacle is definitely 720s😂

I'm currently a controller user, but I'm looking at getting a hitbox.

[@alexvasiliev925]

I'ts beyond me how people play fighting games on keyboard but hitbox-like controllers are miraculous

[@tegrity]

I can do combos but feel like a robot movement still alien

[@MyNameIsLuna200]

Good video man Unfortunately in my case i have a physical handicap that makes my left hand very stiff my fingers are unable to move quickly enough except my thumb I wish I could find something that actually help in my case as I've tried pad and stick and I've just used pad because i can't seem to find a good controller that works :(

[@gregorymirabella1423]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[@VeganBytes]

People complaining its a cheat box but will gladly play with modern controls on sf6 thats gives you a one button critical art 😂

[@chanbenyamin3527]

Stick user here. Will be making the transition to snackbox soon. Hope I don't take too long to get used to it

[@jico5147]

i’m on day 2 of having a hitbox and i adjusted really well surprisingly, just take your time and get used to everything. One other thing i would do is to play in short bursts, your left wrist will hurt for playing too long, so if you play a set and you’re in training mode, don’t lab too long so your wrist can take a break.

[@chanbenyamin3527]

@jico5147 one question: I know it's up to the individual but which thumb do you use for jump/up? Left ? Right? Which feels better?

[@jico5147]

@@chanbenyamin3527 i use left so i can have one hand on directions and have the other on attacks.

To be honest, i started with keyboard, so i never had the idea of getting a hitbox, i just can't play without WASD. However, i planed to buy a lever for fun, or a mixbox to compete Also, bro did a good job in the edit, looks nice

[@louislewis6823]

the problem with a hitbox is when you're on the right side doing supers for the left side your ring finger is so weak ...i find it so hard and unnatural

Pretty much it’s a cheat box.

[@lilsoonerfaninmo]

Short answer: Nope Long answer: It's not giving you some rule bending advantage, say charge characters before SOCD ruling, then how is it cheating? To cheat is to imply a hard rule is being unfairly circumvented

[@xXLionheart1118Xx]

how are these even allowed. seems like it kills the spirit of the game.

@@pastuh the socd update opened more exploits and technics you can do. fighting games were never meant to be played on a keyboard. any one seeking to use a hitbox saw how easy it is to do moves and they were on board end of story. its incredible seeing all the disingenuous peoples reasons to try justify their hitbox use. i really wish they would implement a setting that detects your pressing to directional inputs at the same time such as left right up or down at the same time and have a setting kick in matching only keyboard and hitbox players with only keyboard and hitbox players. i wonder just how many people would want to use it if they lost the advantage it gives them.
