I don't know if this should be here or in the discussion section, anyway my question is this, characters that wield swords, samurai shodown characters for one "Haomaru, Jubei, Genjuro", their sword wiffs can hurt you. Does that need to have priority as well?

Outlining clsn1 with clsn2?

This has been bothering me for a while so I though I'd ask.

Really there is no right or wrong answer since opinions vary, since it's a weapon my personal answer is no

Both questions have the same meaning

If some character punches or kicks your sword, why on earth would YOU receive damage ? Makes no sense IMO


That's my view / opinion, I expect different ppl to have different views as if it were any other debate, that's what MAKES a debate, and that's why there are never any wrong answers unless actual facts are stated [ passionate opinions for / about something != facts goddammit ]


To quote random forum users that say this far too often, ""sometimes total accuracy / being as realistic as possible is a bad thing""

There are times where I think otherwise, it therefore is not a fact, do as you please, at least one person in the world will like your ideas / decisions and vice versa, that little bit of knowledge is what never stops me / will always keep me going

This has come up previously. The difference here is game accurate and reality accurate. I've said it before about clsn boxes. They're not just meant to be representations of what can and cannot hit/be hit but also to provide some semblance of random movement for both players.

If you punch at someone and they are fractionally below your normal punch, you wouldn't do it anyway, you'd adjust your aim. They also provide some movement within this range of motion.

Basically for swords/weaponry if you're not going to follow the official hitboxes, i would aim to extend clsn2's at least half way up the weapon. I would not however extend red beyond the end of it as if you have utterly infinite priority on all your basics, it gets mean too fast.


In M.U.G.E.N there is no magic button

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

By that you mean extend clsn2 from it's arm length toward almost half the sword length but not completely covering clsn1?
Sorry if I miss understood you but I am trying to get the correct idea.

Ok cool.
One more thing, how would you handle long range weapon attacks such as Hiryu's Grahm?



Same rules apply?

That is a special. Different rules may apply, I would still extend the clsn2 out. He HAS swung his arms out there. I possibly wouldn't extend the clsn1 right to the end of the attack. But that's just me.

I'm not an expert with hiryu but i imagine he telegraphs that move a bit.

I would keep the priority and balance the character by other means, that would also make the character more unique.

^ Pretty much what Cyanide suggested.
Thanks for the image reference though, I understand it now.
