You can also do a variation by holding the direction and tapping down twice then +ABK. Either one works. I have a hitbox, but I went to a stick. It's tricky to play hitbox on 2p side.
You're still inputting everything manually, it's just more intuitive on HB. You can still do the shortcut on stick and pad all the same.
But I wouldn't worry about a ban. We've got 2 EVO seasons under our belt, and no ban is in the horizon. Hit Box is here to stay.
I'm worried for shortcuts like [2]33 A+B+K because wouldn't that mean the Hitbox will be banned in SC tournies due to the fact that players can execute at such frame advantage?
