THIS is how you do hitboxes

[Skkra]

SFV's hitboxes are not tied to the character animations. I just saw this posted over at Eventhubs, and I think it's an incredibly smart design decision by Capcom.

This eliminates a lot of the weirdness that happens when hitboxes are tied to the character, like projectiles hitting a crouching character only in certain parts of their breathing animation.

maybe NRS will implement Enhanced Hitboxes

meh. I like the whole breathing animation aspect. Adds a sense liveliness to the game.

If only we could figure out a way to enable this on MKX PC

You can't memorize and properly time which frames your projectile will hit during every character's breathing animation? Scrub.

I gueeeeeess? It really just adds inconsistency, which is not what you want in a competitive game. If I can neutral duck a projectile, I don't want to randomly get hit 20% of the time because I happen to be at the high point of my character's breathing animation.

I mean look at Zangief he's moving and what not, but the hitbox isn't changing.

So NRS can still do the breathing animations but they shouldn't move the character's hitbox.

Ooh I saw the video for this yesterday!

Breathing animation and breathing hitboxes are two different things. Having a hitbox sway to follow breathing/idle seems to me like a remnant of the full 3D era of MK, which apparently NRS failed to realize they're not making anymore. 3D characters, 2D hitboxes, yeah?

This has literally never happened to me once with any character regardless of hitbox size.

Go crouch block as cassie and have ermac do 222, lemme know what you think about those mids consistently hitting

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

There should be a Fighting Game where the characters are just a bunch of differently colored hurtboxes and their attacks are just a bunch if hitboxes.

10/10 FG

 

[Cameronwinss]

I too hate everything NRS does.

 

[champdee]

Anything around like this to show our games hitboxes and hurtboxes? Really wish there was.

 

[ghostwriteous]

Fuck NRS. Be more like Capcom.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

What's super weird is that in MK9 training mode you had the option to show the hit area display. It's not as elaborate as hitboxes but it showed what parts of a character is using to attack.

They got rid of that since Injustice

NRS could use a quick lesson on fighting games. Would benefit everyone.

Killer Instinct called.

They said, "welcome to the party, SFV."

At least with making them visible. It seems like there was some manipulation to display them. KI has a wonderful function to display the hit and hurtboxes on moves in very clear fashion. It's quite helpful for learning a move's coverage.

You must have kids right??? Lol joy.

But no NRS uses a different engine with bubble hit/hurt boxes and that's why it feels mushy at times.

For them to do something like this it would be completely changing the way they build games.

I completely agree. SFV is not the first game to do this. I'm just saying that thank god they ARE doing it this way. It removes a lot of wonky stuff that can happen.

 

[trufenix]

The brand new game Capcom made while getting paid to rereleasing the same 7 year old one for the fifth time has engine improvements?! Holy shit.

It is really surprising NRS is so resistant to make changes and improvements to their own games.

This is the first thing I thought about while reading the OP. People seriously don't realize how much KI put all the OGs on blast.
