Modalità SOCD:

The FightBox B3-PC supports three SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions) modes, which are crucial for competitive fighting games to prevent conflicting directional inputs. These modes comply with tournament standards.

• Up Priority SOCD Mode (Default): If Up and Down are pressed simultaneously, Up input is prioritized. If Left and Right are pressed, Neutral is output.
• Neutral (CAPCOM) SOCD Mode: If opposing directions (e.g., Up+Down, Left+Right) are pressed simultaneously, a Neutral input is output.
• Last Win SOCD Mode: The last directional input pressed takes priority. For example, if Left is held and then Right is pressed, Right will be the active input.
