HITBOX has released a statement regarding the rule changes for leverless controllers announced by Capcom.
The statement addresses the new rules for the official tournament "Capcom Pro Tour 2023," which was announced on March 30. The tournament will feature the fighting game Street Fighter 6, and the new rules state that for simultaneous up/down and left/right inputs, "both inputs must be maintained, or both inputs must be invalidated."

HITBOX promises to support the "up + down = up" input method and will make necessary adjustments to comply with the new rules.
HITBOX, known for its leverless controllers, uses the "up" input as the default for up/down inputs. The company explains that it can adapt to any rule changes and provide solutions for its users but notes that it does not represent the entire fighting game community when it comes to Capcom and Street Fighter.
