In-game Distances: What do you want measured?

[ant-d]

I am considering measuring various things in the game.

This is different from Mew2King's great statistics post because I am able to measure to the sub-pixel. Also, I have the ability to take objective measurements thanks to the homerun contest scale. Therefore it won't solely be a ranking.

All measurements will be given in meters and feet. (I am manually converting into feet).

I am not interested in measuring height right now because I have not been able to convert it properly based on the homerun contest scale. I also won't measure 'attack hitbox range', since that would take forever to do for all characters.

Oh, and of course the measurements will be read from the game's RAM and not measured by the human-eye.

I am thinking of measuring the horizontal distance for the following:

C.Falcon Meters Feet
Forward Roll 3.395 11.139
Backward Roll 3.386 11.110

Wavedash 2.539 8.330
Air Dodge 2.750 9.021
Short Hop 4.087 13.409
Running SH 8.2 26.904
Full Hop 6.006 19.706
Running FH 9.8 32.153
Second Jump 5.456 17.901

Up+B 7.7 25.263
Up+B Air 8.4 27.560
Down+B 9.3 30.513
Down+B (Air) 2.875 9.434
B 1.232 4.043
B (Air) 2.317 7.601
Forward+B 5.823 19.105
Forward+B (Air) 5.820 19.096

Grab
100m Sprint

Clearly some special attacks are not worth measuring depending on the character.

Is there anything else?

You're using "real" feet and not the game's conversion formula. Are you measuring in feet or meters?
And are those horizontal or vertical distances, or some combination of both?

Yes, these are "real" feet. I plan to convert into the game's feet at a later time (as I don't know the feet formula it uses off hand).
I'm measuring in meters.

Horizontal.

Don't use in-game feet at all. Afaik, it requires rounding (down for m->ft, up for ft->m), decimals beyond the first one don't exist. I think.
At least if you want to be exact. You can still use the conversion factor without rounding though =).

 

[ant-d]

The decimals don't exist, but I developed a formula which allows for arbitrary precision; down to the pixel and lower.
Feet was mainly included so Americans could have an idea about the distances

I would suggest you use the in-game distance (unitless) as opposed to feet or meters.

 

[ajp_anton]

My point was that the in-game feet calculator only takes in meters at 0.1m precision and outputs feet rounded to 0.1ft precision (though obviously some feet values can never be reached). For complete correctness, it can't be used for arbitrary precision, however insignificant the distinction would be =).

So just keep using "real" feet if you have to, and like Strongbad suggested, also add the unitless distances.
