The Hit Box ULTRA continues the tradition of pushing the limits of what is possible in fighting games. The core advantage is that you have more deliberate control over your game, helping you make fewer mistakes in a match. Random execution mistakes are significantly decreased when you use your entire hand for motions, rather than your wrist or thumb.
With arcade buttons for movement, your inputs are naturally faster and your reaction time is improved. By utilizing the ULTRA speed C.O.M.B.O. Buttons, moves come out in the minimum amount of time possible in ways that are much more ergonomic than other controllers.
