Thoughts? I decided to ask some people to make their versions of this normal (standing lp) and compare how we do our hitboxes. I was bored... Note:- Fixed Midori's to his newest version. - Added Answers version
I agree, and I also see what people priorities are. Man everyone does theirs differently, but same at the same time.
Yamori's is the best. 2nd being zanqueef. Original is fine depending on how fast it is. If its really fast you want blue over read otherwise yamori is good. It's important to note that hit boxes are not about matching the sprite, it's the utility of the move itself. Edit: I was focused on the upper half of which zanqueef is very much off the mark. You want something like fclass midori or yamori for the hurboxes. the hitboxes see my previous response.
Kamekaze said, May 23, 2017, 05:10:56 amit's the utility of the move itself. and this is why I don't like having the static picture only, I ahve no idea how the hand got there, for all I know, that's a taunt and the hitbox should be in the finger.
I'm at work right now, but I'll be sure to post some other stuff like gifs and maybe other moves if ya'll are interested. I'll also update the posts when I'm off, because this is getting fun and interesting... Cool stuff guys
Gonna echo what [E] and Kamekaze said; I have no idea how the hand got there, without the rest of the animation or knowing the move's purpose I can't make a proper judgement of the hitboxes. Perhaps the biggest question (original animation notwithstanding): is it an anti-air or not?
I'm no character maker but here is my try (note: I don't like the idea of AA-jabs [with the exception of very few characters], so yeah ):PS: looking at it again I would probably increase her arm hurtbox downward a bit.

Wow, such a good hitbox. I'll update the first post later, but let's try something else (this time with animations!)This is a standing Medium Attack from Uino (by Drowin).Animation:Original Hitbox:Blank Version:My version: Hope we get some interesting versions here since well... it's weapons this time.
This seems right wish I could get my picture on here but I can't figure out how for some reason.Edit: I've got it now witness the unholy hitbox.
I love how Fclass' version is pretty much how it would look in The Last Blade and Yamori X's is how it would look in Samurai Shodown
Funny, cause I have never played or seen hitboxes of The Last Blade... Also, interesting hitboxes. I noticed more people put smaller ones under the sword more closer to her arm (which I assume covers the "swinging" part of the move).

I remember seeing this on twitter (I think you shared this one actually, not sure). I really like this, and I'll be honest... Some of them are fucking terrifying. xDAny who, I guess I'll update stuff soon and put the hitboxes together with names... Actually, should I do that guys?
Omg those skull girl hitboxes wtf man, what did they use to createchars, fighter factorys auto clsn???
They used way too many boxes too the point the have boxes inside their boxes inside their boxes....it's a hitbox orgy or something.Edit: I understand that it works for the engine but on a visual standpoint it does seem a bit much but if I guess it works.

Yes, I am. It's not even a fair comparison, cause SF2 was the fighting game to shape the genre we know today and no one really had a clear understanding back then. Not to mention they are complete polar opposites of each other. But if you're gonna tell me these:Are worse than these?Then Idk...

Sf2 might have a couple funky boxes but skull girls is all fucked up,All the chars all attacks
Sure, they might look strange and maybe have a few meh places here and there, but it's by its own rules and at least try to match with their animations and usage.
Out of curiousity, did you also want us to provide a short explanation of why we chose the hitbox designs that we did? It would help illustrate the thought process behind them I would think.
TheFclass97 said, May 26, 2017, 07:38:20 pmsfs had this thing where the boxes were an important part of the gameplay and they kept onrebalancing them between revisions; so the boxes are what plays better and works the best in the game over years and eyars of testing; note that that could also hold true for skullgirls, but at first impression they looks like stuff that a clsn generator woudl spit out, or at least an unpaid intern who has not idea what he is doing besides "cover the sprite".
That Guile St.MP hitbox is wrong and is a bug that is in hitbox viewers that don't draw frame perfectly, i.e. all of them due to how Turbo in CPS2 works IIRC. It's actually supposed to look like:Please use the SRK wiki when looking at ST hitboxes from now on. It is much more accurate and is a solid resource, plus you don't have to cap stuff on your own so it's just easier. IF you want wack ST hitboxes I'd say Dhalsim Yoga Thrust. Most of them are just insane rather than like, complete nonsense.
Righty. So I guess the guy who did the flickr pics uses a bad hitox viewer? Or at least not updated ones n' shit? hmm.. thanks for noting.
One blue for the body, one blue for the arm, and one red for the sword itself. The crayon-ey red and blue boxes are for the extension of the sword (outside of this particular frame).Also here's an Kal MvC char version.
Weapons are tricky, but since that attack has a lot of horizontal range (and reasonable priority since it's a mid), it has to be highly vulnerable elsewhere. Specifically from aerial and sliding attacks. My 2 cents.
I'm in the mood for some Guile.Prior to ST you could do this button while moving forward or backward.It was +3 on hit/block in Super/ST, +5 (!!!!) in CPS1. Discuss how amazing it is. Probably one of the most hilariously disjointed lights relative to its use and application.
Sorry for the bump... We haven't done this in a while, so lets give ti a shot shall we? OK!!! God, this thread was fun... Anywho, ya'll wanna take a crack at this?Move in question:Seems like a normal from Mewtwo...Original hitbox:Your template:Have fun... and try to be serious with this one, I want to see how ya'll will approach this one...
Alright so judging by the animation, the attack could go one of two ways: As a mid range poke or as a sweep. Considering the frame of animation that was provided, I decided to opt for the former, as a hitbox for a sweep version of this move is better suited for the next animation frame. The hitbox I feel best captures the movement of Mewtwo's tail, and since this move clearly isn't being used as an anti-air, I opted to position the tail's hurtbox above the actual tail itself, both to capture the movement of the tail and also to make it punishable from the air. The move looks to have pretty quick startup as well, so the large hurtbox balances this out, while still giving Mewtwo's tail some priority on the tip to fulfill its purpose as a poke.
Hmm, these are definitely interesting... I'll compile a list of hitboxes for a big comparison. I wonder if anyone else has any ideas of how they would do the hitbox/hurtbox for this move... Regardless, this is fun :3 Thanks for participating, this is kinda cool.
I'd not evne make it hit in that frame but one frame later (maybe two, ahve not frame by frame the animation), i'd use hitboxes close to rigepigeon's (just a bit taller)
Gonna give this a shotThis one is a bit trickier since, unlike the ones posted so far, this one is an aerial attack that both has an effect on it and also hits twice.Original hitbox(es):Template(s):Seeing as this was taken from one of my own, I'll be abstaining from this one.
Note: I used different colors since blue kinda made it hard to see, so in place, i used green for the hurtboxes, and yellow for the hitboxes.
By request, went and replaced the original hitbox images with ones that didn't blend into the background.
Gonna take this on a different spin; I'm sure many of you have seen mugen characters with limbs that are... "length-challenged", for lack of a better term. I'm of course referring to attacks like this:The complete animation:And your template:
Outside of joke hitboxes or ones that extend much farther than his fist, I can't really see how you could make the hitbox in a way that doesn't turn this move useless.I suppose one could cheat a little and go with the "effect" route, having a punch-trail explod/effect for the attack so that it can extend their hitbox beyond where his fist actually is. without making things look too weird.
I'd prefer to cheat the system in slightly... different way.Made in Paint, used green and yellow colors just to not mix up with other hitboxes.
Bronko said, September 24, 2017, 08:46:19 amRedo the sprites.this. Don't think you can make good hitboxes for it that mame visial sense without a redraw
Necrobump my niggasWelcome back to the stage of history! This time, I took a suggestion from a friend to make a hitbox for this move in particular:And this is the frame you shall work with:And this is my interpretation:I'm sure you guys have way better hitboxes than mine, but this is for experimentation to see how you guys view your hitboxes and test some philosophies and have fun with it... So yeah, go ham!
Okay so this one requires a bit of an explanation behind the thought process and why I had to do multiple submissions. Being familiar with JJBA, this is obviously a multi-hit move, so it would only make sense for the hitboxes to either be all over the place, or generalize the position of the hitboxes. Mulithit moves like this typically have a gap in between where there is no red clsn, as evidenced by A, which is also used for the startup frames of the attack, whilst B and C are the hitboxes that it would transition to as more hits progress, in order to compensate for push velocities. Since this is obviously not an anti-air, the last frame (D) is placed a bit lower and longer on the final hit to give it that final oomph.
Shouldnt the Blue(hurt box) be in sync with the red(attack)? Say if red is 2x2, so should be the blue?
Question, are people here actually using good hitbox practices here, or are we being sarcastic with our placement?
I take it you don't like any of them (which ones are you talking about, by the way?), so how would you make them?
I don't have much to add since I've never made a character in mugen b4, but Pikachu guy might be talking about what I've noticed when I was making my mugen characters:When I make characters using only red hit boxes they always win the match.When I make characters using only blue hit boxes they always lose.The solution is I make all my characters to only use red hit boxes. That's why their AI is so strong, even at difficulty level 1.
Time to bump this with something I think is quite interesting. We've talked about weapons before in this thread, but what about something a little bigger?Reading through Umezono's reviews of the October CotM nominees, specifically the review of Gordeau by OHMSBY, he mentions how some of Gordeau's hitboxes are 'absolutely enormous', and that's a fair point, so what would you do differently?OHMSBY's version:UNIST version:Template:Animation reference:You'll notice the hitboxes are active on a later frame in the UNI version, but since that's the original, that's what I decided to use for the template (plus it's easier to see the weapon's range).Have fun if you want to attempt it (let's get at least a couple of serious ones, hah).
Not exactly who or how this character plays. But there'd be a massive delay on recovery to make up for the massive hitbox advantage. The first hit box frame would last 1 tic. The end hit box would be determined in game and edited down to probably 2 tics, maaaaybe 3. I should have extending his blue boxes to match where his arm first travels in the 1 tic attack frame, but that'd be worked out after a few tests. Spoiler: LARGE GIF INSIDE (click to see content)----Yamori X, why would you be able to hit all that open blue above the ax?
idk about that blue box on the staff... seems awkward cuz if an attack hits that blue box on the staff, damage will be dealt to the fighter.
ya, so they cant just throw out unpunishable hits. kof provides the best example of this.in a game like bbctag i feel like theres enough tech that it doesnt make gordy that bad on his own, but then again, gordeau/ruby is a popular team precisely cause their scythes control so much space with minimal risk

As I've said many times before, even weapon based fighting games know that weapons are to be treated as an extension of the body. Yet there will always be someone who expects realism in a genre where the laws of gravity are horribly warped and regular people throwing fireballs are the norm.
So at what point do we consider large disjoint hitboxes to go from carefully crafted character design to bad design?If the character is designed to control space with large disjoints, couldn't that be considered as part of their kit for zoning purposes?Last I remember Gordy's large disjoints were considered part of his character identity.
I normally just go with "roughly half the hitbox needs a hurtbox" route because a lot of fighters I play do this with weapon based attacks and it's what I use as a basis for some of my own creations whenever they use melee weapon based attacks. Excessively safe zoning is pretty broken, which is why why gigantic hitboxes that cannot be traded against are usually frowned upon. They should still beat out non-reversal based unarmed strikes anyway because they still have more hitbox than them, but something like a Shoryuken that is meant to beat out other attacks should still be able to hit through them as well.
Wow cool. Wasn't expecting this many replies.If an attack is going to be long-ranged but slow and punishable, you'd want it to have pretty decent priority during its active frames so it doesn't get beaten out by a jab or a quick poke, and then extend the hurtboxes out for a few of the recovery frames that follow so it can be punished if blocked.I forgot to mention this, but the above is Gordeau's 5C (standing heavy) in Under-Night, which is active from frames 29-34, though the attack's hitboxes shrink a little vertically on frame 32. His hurtboxes are not static leading up to frame 29, as the further into the attack he gets, the more his hurtboxes extend outwards. For 12 frames, he looks like this:
