The BEST CrossUp Alternative the FightBox M8

The HitBox Cross|Up had a very controversial release with its game breaking mechanics given its unique layout. But tournament legality aside, I wanted to explore the FightBox brand's own version of the CrossUp, the M8 CrossUp to see what features the layout provides, alongside whether or not it's a viable alternative to the official HitBox Cross|Up.

Update on the White Sanwa Buttons: FightBox contacted me confirming that these are genuine buttons. I'm not sure as to why the button shells were different, but they did send me a customs form proving their supply of Sanwa parts was sent directly by the Sanwa company themselves. I went over the form and confirmed its legitimacy, as it is a valid form that shows to be completed and processed. I confirmed this by checking the official Chinese clearance status, and the form shows the transport of Sanwa items from SANWA DENSHI Co., Ltd directly to the FightBox company themselves.

Disclaimer: FightBox sent me this controller to review, however they provided no instructions on the video, and all opinions are my own.
