List of misleading hitboxes in Smash 4

[LRodC]

Hey guys, I'm wondering if Smashboards could help me compile some of the most misleading hitboxes and hitbox trails in Smash 4? I just made a video about Mewtwo and his severe hitbox problems (http://youtu.be/I2_AIdsqYQw). In this topic, I'd like to compile all of misleading hitboxes in Smash 4 so that we can have them all in one place as one big community effort. I don't use every character, so I don't know all of the hitbox problems in the cast. Over the course of the patches, a lot of bad ones have been fixed (Meta Knight). Hopefully by putting all of the flawed hitboxes in one place, we can get all of them noticed by the public eye and get them all fixed in future patches. When there's a mostly complete list, I'll compile all of these in a video and post it to this topic.

Here is a list of bad hitboxes so far in Smash 4 currently documented:

:

Forward aerial (doesn't match trail)
Forward smash (blind spot in front)
Back aerial (doesn't match trail)
Up aerial (doesn't match trail)
Up tilt (doesn't match trail)
Grab (doesn't match animation)

:

Forward smash (blind spot in front and explosion hitbox is too big)
Missiles (blind spot in front)
Neutral aerial (doesn't match trail, front and back)
Dash attack (doesn't match animation)
Down aerial (doesn't match trail)

:

Fire Breath (hitbox trail too large)

:

Neutral aerial (back part has no hitbox despite visually looking like it does)

:

Forward tilt (hitbox trail too large)

:

Forward tilt (blind spot in front)

Any help would definitely be appreciated. Thanks!

I noticed that in villagers forward smash, the entire bowling ball does damage rather than only the lower half, as it would physically make sense for it to do (How does something moving away from you deal damage?)

First image is a dash grab at the moment it connected.
Second image is a whiffed dash grab.
Third is the actual grab animation.

I really can't tell where her grab AOE is at. Sometimes it works when her hand is right on top of them. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, she can grab them without physically touching them, as you would expect. Sometimes it doesn't.

Do they mention in the patch notes when they fix them, because i imagine tgat would be helpful to finding them

's Up-B Hammer hitbox is pretty dumb. In my experience, its AOE is only about half of what the trail would have you believe.
