Hit Box ULTRA Info Page

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.

C.O.M.B.O. Grapplers

Included with the Hit Box ULTRA v2 will be our C.O.M.B.O. Grapplers. These are accessories that help keep your C.O.M.B.O. Buttons and Extensions in place so they do not spin easily or if the holes they are installed into are slightly too large. 

Full details: C.O.M.B.O. Grappler.

This is still a product-in-development, so we are looking for feedback and we expect to make changes in the future. Once we are fully comfortable with the Grapplers, we will provide an update on them as a separate product - especially for those who have already purchased Hit Box ULTRAs and C.O.M.B.O. Extensions.
