The EVO 2023 is the world's most attended tournament. And what better way to stand out from the crowd than with an extremely weird controller?
Damascus was on mission at EVO 2023 to find the event's best (and worst?) sticks, from custom made cardboard sticks to super cool DIY 3D printed!

Bro had a hitbox 360 😂
... I'm pinning this comment this wins 😂
I've been meaning to make one myself actually
highly recyclable
🤣
Might aswell since the servers are gone
the one guy that made the stick using the drawer rails is spot on, wish I could know more about this design
I'm really curious about how it connects both parts, do they run a cable from the stick to the PCB through the drawer rails? 🤔
@@estebanacostaolivera3232 You can see when he pulls it apart there is a black/blue cable running along one of the rails.
thats my stick! Im gonna try to make a video on it! thanks for the interest
@ajTwist please do!
@@ajTwist That struck me as something really unique! I do have some issues with bending my left hand on the usual Hitbox layout, and your design looks like a good solution to keeping both hand straight in ergonomic fashion. Looking forward to that video. Cheers!
That cardboard box, man… It’s hilarious to lay out multiple rows of redundant buttons, just so you never have to learn how to do a 360. The struggle is real 😂
720/1080 on hitbox is cursed 😭 I dont blame him
hahahaha
It's for Kara canceling mega fist
360s are already substancially harder on leverless, 720s are almost impossible
@@justsomeweirdperson for you maybe
Anklegator's box seems cursed at first glance, but when you see footage of it in action it reveals itself to be the work of a mad genie
Bro does pot buster by swiping his hands 😂
thanks so much for having us on to talk about the Primal Hitbox, it was a blast meeting/talking with you, and as always the videos are so well edited and clean
No way. It's the guy the taught me Jiren
@@agentmooseman7568 👽👽👽
Thanks for the interview and the interest in my fight stick split design! 1:50 -- I wish I was more informative about the design. Also shout out to the one guy at 11:24 I feel your pain in all that you said.
So elegant and cool.
Hi, I'm the guy at 11:24! It's great to see a kindred spirit, and I need to talk to you about your split board, it's too cool to pass up an opportunity to learn from.
@@ArcLyn i made a video!
You know what I love the most, the people who’ve gone and made the most ergonomic controller for themselves. I feel like ergonomics are so important but under appreciated
a perfect controller is, here me out, the power glove. but each finger is 2 buttons, one activated by lifting)or lowering) finger, the other by bending it(so you can press 2 buttons at same time with each finger), joystick for thumbs with a click down button.
As an outside of the FGC I think the custom sticks are by far the coolest part of the scene.
Not only the 2nd guy designed an arcade stick that's ergonomic for HIM, he's also wearing a Trogdor shirt. Respect
I understand there are time constraints, but it's a bummer you didn't get the guy with the "hurtbox" all-stick controller.
The one for big hands is inspiration. Most arcade sticks I have used have been way too small for me. And using pad is getting annoying for fighters. Great video my man!
On a much simpler note I just swapped my balltop out for a bullet top and the added height was a gamechanger
happy to see more takes on ergonomic leverless controllers, esp different takes on splitboxes. great vid
the controller to surpass metal gear 😂
Once I buy a 3D printer it's all over for everyone else
When dude says “I have big hands” and whips out them tentacles for fingers I lost it 😂
Awesome video! Wasn't expecting to see so many different and varied custom sticks!
And this is not even a tenth of what you can see at the event. People get very creative!!
Very cool. Ive made my own hitbox as well which is suited to zangief. It has 30 buttons.. i can do a zangief lvl3 standing super easy by running my finger across 8 buttons on a row. And i have other row runners for near instant Borcht Dynamite.
We'd love to see it!!! Tweet us a pic or video of it on @reversal_gg !!!!
Can you share a vid of it?
@@SvenS2 hey sorry I dont really dont do anything on social media.. its really not that hard to design and build a hitbox with the Brook board. 1/4 inch Plywood, drill press, arcade parts and that's it. I could make any configuration, I have a different hitbox suited to Ken with near instant DP runners for both sides.. 4 buttons.. its just where u want to put the runner row for easy of use and fast access. Good luck.
@@atr4454 Translation: I'm lying
That dude with the big hands, holy cow they really were! Good on him for finding a solution that worked well for him!!!
You know what they say about guys with big hands... ... big fighsticks.
I remember that kof player with an actual keyboard with only the necessary keys, a real legend.
Ha, I'd nearly forgotten but years ago I had an old keyboard set up for League of legends
That ''3rd iteration leverless'' can actually pass security checks in airports? Cool video, controller is such an important part of players personality, it's fun to see!
My sister's stock hori got pulled but my monstrosity has gone through tsa 4 times with no issues!
I love fightsticks so much, I tried playing with a fightstick once but just really couldn't get myself used to the button placement even after months of practice with it so I still stick with pad when I'm playing but every now and then I'd whip out the fight stick when I play with friends and its still a lot of fun even though I'm not as good with it!
6:14 was my favorite nice video man , ngl you have most original and entartaining evo videos
Great Video! As a huge Arcade/FightStick fan, I love videos like that. It's my personal EVO Highlight! Small tip for the cameraman (next time): Show more of the Sticks. Make more upclose shots. Zoom at the wireing and the Art etc. Keep it up!
That CertainDeth box was dope! and a great start to this video.
what beautiful fight sticks. thank you for making this video.
My favorite is the one with the drawer rails! Amazing boxes all in all
I love that fightstick that gets wider! I have the same problem that I like having my hands/arms wider. I'm gonna steal that idea now lol.
I'm hoping to see more designs like that. The Frame1 and some other controllers made for Smash have a nice spacing like that, but for whatever reason most of these controllers cram everything in the middle.
@@SoundToxin My assumption as to why, would be that they wanted to imitate what was in the arcades, which was cramped. My first fightstick was for PS1, and made to match the SF2ST cabs back then, which was not only cramped, but bulky and very stiff controls compared to Japanese peripherals. Now that competitive arcades are dying even in Japan, the move to the home-space has led to more innovation in ergonomic designs, because people want to be more comfortable. Right now, I'm trying to experiment on making the thinnest lever base ever, just so I can get the thickness of the overall fightstick down to something akin to the m-press.
@@TMNTfeverYeah, that's a very good point. They are originally copying arcade cabinet controls. Just a bit crazy how long people waited to try improving on the layout and how most controllers still don't innovate much.
So Jake Ryan had the Zane hitbox and Zane had the Jake Ryan hitbox. Something's not quite adding up here 🤔
What’s the twitter @ for where they got them can’t find it
@@catvviper2926 @bearwitt_tv
I wanna know where to commission it too
@@catvviper2926 @bearwitt_tv. He uses AllFightStick enclosures.
I have a B15SDM stick that was made back in 2011, I love it with all my heart, its a little outdated now and im currently in the process of restoring it to its rightful glory.
Love the passion and creativity. Great stuff.
love this kind of videos, hope you do this yearly!
This sounds like a plan! I'll try to hunt for cool sticks at every major I go 😁
@@zDamascus Very cool :)
This was a kick ass video. My favorite stick was the last one with keyboard buttons.
Sick video. Love seeing unique controllers
Human ingenuity is boundless, fighting gamers' doubly so. I'm reminded of when I went to CEO 2021 (mainly for the attached AEW PPV) and saw a dude with a hitbox made out of a Tupperware container using Cherry MX Reds. Respect the scuff.
The guy with the stick that can split open is super cool!!🔥🔥🔥
Interesting video! I've always wondered how many modded controllers are being played on in Evo? There have to be at least a few that make it into the tournament...
All very creative and cool in their own ways but I find the most ridic/unappealing one (CARDBOARD) the most intriguing. Grapplin by sliding across buttons sounds hilarious and entertaining for onlookers. I’m also not a fan of tinkering with pieces so saving time/energy on avoiding the screws and such is great too. Last one is genius af too.
Someone was saying this but stick tournament a Evo would be so cool It was nice seeing all these in a video. People are so cool with the builds 😂
3:05 that XBox 360 hitbox is fire
11:33 that man is probably gonna start a brand. You can feel it.
15:10 my man using the page up / page down / delete button section for fighting games on a keyboard, a man of culture
This guy was literally too sexy LOL
structural foam, panic wired brook board, i love it
interviewer is so nice and genuine, love it.
The stick that can widen into an arm's length will definitely save his hands long-term!
11:22 Thanks for having me on!
1:41 I like that one. Something like that + locks at different widths would be nice. Edit: oh didn't notice the Trogdor shirt either. Props for that. Edit 2: and 4:03 also very cool. You got a camper van? Get solar, a computer and that tiny thing and you have a proper setup on the go.
Great video. Thank you!
I love the fighting game community!
You can't just not like the cardboardx, but the one that was opened in the middle was quite cool
omg that second stick that widened on rails!!! THat shit is sick! Cool lightblue color
I loved the video. Small note, not that important, and maybe I am reading too much into it, but I think you should try to ask permission to touch or grab the controllers in the future, just a quick "is it cool if I bring it up to the camera?" kind of thing :) I think that is a common thing with some people when they do an interview as well where they just grab things to show closer to the camera but it can come off as awkward sometimes I think and it felt like some of the people were not ready for you to touch them, though again, maybe I am wrong. Awesome sticks!
That CERTAINDETH looks hella good, might have to buy one in the future.
Glad to hear! I'm the guy in the video and would be happy to help when you're ready to, if you need it!
love how evo is open tourney and 7k people joined for it very nice
There was a guy that had a WiiFit board as his hitbox. it was insane
Thank you for doing this.
"Cone drill" lmao issa "Step Bit"
Folks who make their own fightsticks from scratch are the most powerful people on the planet. Truly God's most powerful soldiers.
I love the one switch with a red 'emergency' cover
Really great sticks! Shoutouts to bearwitt and anklegator for getting some props! All were awesome though! Fightsticks are just great.
a stick to surpass metal gear.
Bro weren’t kidding. Built like a therizinosaur
I’ll be coming out with my HitBoxPS4 edition with this kind inspiration
Yo that super thing one was DOPE!
Great DIY spirit!
8 years from the release of the MadCatz T.E.2 and still one of the greatest
i love this segment
Some of those are really cool!
Im pretty sure the guy from 10:40 is from my local region. Nice guy, let me take a pic of the box when i caught him at a regional.
i made mine custom as well but the stick is on the right :D and i put 4 extra keyboard keys i took out from my keyboard cuz i had custom caps already. the keys i mostly used to menu navigation. the left side has the 8 buttons. the reason is i mostly played fighting games on mugen and old pc for years. so i was used already to asdc as my buttons
As someone with a Mayflash (and a spare Brook board) and a broken keyboard: I may try to pull a Primal Keyboard for the laughs
i never wanted a sick custom figthtstick so much more than rn
2:45 twitta got me here 😂😂
That's dude's hands were actually big for no reason haha
If it's allowed, you can wire multiple pads into one button to make an instant combo/super move lol
This dude just grabs and touches everyones boxes before asking 😂😂
Let it be known i have beef with the Xbox 360 hitbox guy😤
You already know, BBCF money match when?
🤝
This video was great ❤
"This is structural foam" that is wonderfully scuffed
This was awesome!
Oh my.....that's imagination we are talking about.
good stuff! top tier!
awesome stuff
Damascus is just good vibes!
These sticks are awesome!
I was hoping to see that one guy that literally went with a GIANT fight stick
We actually looked for him but couldn't find him 😭😭😭 evo is too big!
That split six button fight stick
that ghibli stick is absolutely insane
Hitbox done took over
Damn these were badass
6:40. If this person slapped me id get team rocketed into outer space.
When he said he had really big hands I looked and holy shit he wasn't kidding. He could palm a beach ball.
i would never slap you ur chill
14:33 Ecstasy detected! Bro EVO on molly has to be the best shit ever
People are just so creative.
Super cool stuff! But do FGC people have rules when it comes to touching their controller? a couple times I would have been like "woah man two hands plz"
Do we knowwhere to find those 6mm thick flatboxes? Im really interested
That extendable arcade stick is genius. I play pc games so that would be much more comfortable for my arms
That dude sure did have big flippin meat spankin hands.
that look you make when youre suffocating
Dude at 8:00 has "Weird arby's guy" vibes.
15:06 I will need an updated on that!
and they called me crazy when I said I played SF6 with a simple PC keyboard modified and won.
Nice, now I can macro all my Blanka combos to one button.
