I just looked up what a Hitbox controller looked like and it confused and infuriated me. It's one of those things that looks weird, but people say that if you spend like an hour with it, it begins to feel pretty natural. It makes certain things easier, but it also has downsides, like half-circles being harder to perform. I also seem to remember Justin Wong saying that they do not work as well on retro fighting games due to the way inputs are read, but I may be remembering wrong. In any case, definitely not the instant win button some treat them as, which is part of why I think any bans on them by tournaments have been short lived, if they came at all. But yeah, some find them just too weird and avoid them due to that.

But yeah, some find them just too weird and avoid them due to that. I got one when SF6 came out, a SnackBox Micro, the currently favored controller of that style. I enjoy it. It’s basically like a mechanical keyboard just with far fewer keys. It does take adjusting to, but it lets me memorize my inputs easier. The downsides don’t really effect me much either because I don’t play the kind of characters that are heavy on stick input.

So, next DLC is the new character A.K.I., who is 99% likely to be F.A.N.G.'s disciple. I wish A.K.I. looked like AKI Man from WCW Revenge.

Right now I’m grinding my way through Silver ranked with a Modern Ken because I’m shameless and have no issues playing cheap shit. I’ll probably get back to World Tour once or if I hit Gold. But the scumbag online Jamies don’t want me to have it.

I honestly wouldn't mind playing this if they made it.

Got to Gold rankings with my modern Cammy. She’s so pesty she doesn’t need a drive rush as good as Dee Jay’s (who I’m also having tons of fun with, ‘mon).
This game’s online is tough but it does force you to improve because it’s a more complex mental game IMO than SFV was, and I adored SFV. I was mostly around the Bronze and Silver ranks in 5 and in SF4 I was basically a jobber online, maybe winning 7-10% of my matches, LOL.

I just looked up what a Hitbox controller looked like and it confused and infuriated me. Someone explained it to me as treating the up button like the space bar on a keyboard because a lot of the time you're using it to jump, and then that made sense to me.

Rashid…he might be busted even once that level 2 super gets patched. I logged on with my Rashid and all I got was mirror matches so it’s hard for me to say for sure, but he feels mad strong.

A.K.I looks freaky as hell. That's F.A.N.G's disciple, right?

Well, only a matter of time before Capcom had too much of a good thing going with SF6 and they had to find some way of cacpcom-ing it up. The price of the TMNT DLC is hilariously expensive.

A.K.I. is voiced by Faye Mata, who you may know as Aqua from Konosuba, Petra from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Kagami from Miraculous Ladybug.
