Was that the one where if you knee someone, falcon says something? Well, that's also kinda pointless, but at least it's funny/entertaining.

I dunno, I guess I don't just find 2-3% footstools HALARIOUS, productive, or even mildly entertaining. That's just me though :p

Well, I'll stop here cuz that's quite enough from me lol

I actually like that idea but mario is good enough he dont need it (i mean his flag does damage through sheilds)

Luigi on the other hand could have it.

It's not a flag, it's his cape from Super Mario World on SNES XD

[Collapse=From Wikipedia]In geometry, an ellipse (from Greek ἔλλειψις elleipsis, a "falling short") is a plane curve that results from the intersection of a cone by a plane in a way that produces a closed curve. Circles are special cases of ellipses, obtained when the cutting plane is orthogonal to the cone's axis.[/collapse]

So to summerise, all circles are ellipses, all shades of yellow produced by a computer screen contain large amounts of green, all squares are rectangles, and all hurtboxes are hitboxes.


It still missed my hitbox.

A hurtbox doesn't have to have/be a hitbox, and a hitbox doesn't have to have/be a hurtbox. They are definitely not the same, lol. Or they are both boxes, I guess :p

Physically hurtboxes being hitboxes might make sense, but in smash... Nah.

Bare in mind hitboxes and hurtboxes being attached can be a bad thing in some cases. DK is the perfect example, you can fsmash his arm during his ftilt, which sends him flying. One reason why DDD vs Dk was so bad is because Dk's hurtboxes extend during his attacks, so DDD could shield grab anything Dk did. Even Dk's bair, DDD could grab his "foot."



Another example:
Yellow is Yoshi's hurtboxes. Red are hitboxes. The reason yoshi utilt was so good in s64 was because during the move the hurtbox on his head was turned off(blue). Therefore the hitboxes(red) go far and beyond yoshi's active hurtboxes, making the move really safe. This is what we like to call a disjointed hitbox, a hitbox that is detatched from the charaters hurtboxes. Swords dont have hurtboxes, which is why they are so good.

Blue is hurtbox, red is hitbox, Kink-Link5 is wrong.

Well they're really called active hitbox (the damaging part of an attack) and vulnerable hitbox (the damagable part of a character), but "hurtbox" is a pretty commonly accepted shorthand since we don't always bother saying active and vulnerable. Calling the vulnerable part a hitbox is definitely not wrong though.

Saying a hurtbox isn't a type of hitbox is like saying a Grabbox isn't. All encompassing, hitboxes are collision detectors, which then fall into specific categories.

Semantics aside, in touhou, your character's hitbox is ALWAYS referred to as such. I've never heard anyone talking about Reimu's small "hurtbox."

Is Ivysaur's grabbox the same length as her grab animation?

It doesn't matter what they are, they're all there to serve the same purpose.

Also, what's a footstool again? :troll:

I don't even think there would be much of an issue there. Footstooling would more likely be used by multi-jumpers but even then, it's still pretty legit to have such do none for the multi-jumpers themselves. I for one don't use footstooling all that often much like anyone else here, but I'm a sucker for Easter eggs so it's in my nature to look forward to weird things like that.

Oh man, that Utilt looks even more ridiculous than I remember!

About the footstool thing, I don't mind characters having a "special" version of an universal move. It's like Luigi (and now Zelda) having the only taunt with a hitbox. It's just an easter egg that won't have any significant application.

Any plans for a P:M homebrew app? Kinda like the one for B+ that keeps you up to date and gives you the team colors and fitting music?

I am so disappoint that there was a whole discussion on what's what just because ZUN calls it "hitbox".

I was just making a joke and keeping an otherwise bad meme fresh by crossing it's reference with something else, but I just can't have that can I? No, it just seems that I am magnet for smartassery just for me to counter with more knowledgeable smartassery. Which I'm more than willing to do, as with my "Balloons don't fly" comment, but in all seriousness that shouldn't have gotten carried to the point that it did, and I won't appologise for that fact.

Call it whatever you want.



Any new stage considerations beyond Castlevania and Hyrule 64 for demo 2?

You could also just download the next Demo and install it once as there aren't frequent updates like B+. That way you don't need an "updater app."
