What is a Hitbox? A Look at Gaming's Infamous, Invisible Scapegoats

by devaccess



Do you ever feel like you shouldn’t have gotten hit? Do you ever think, “no, I definitely hit him.” Do you ever unload an entire magazine on a prone character and somehow miss every shot? Well my friends, if you answered yes to any of these questions, you’ve been shafted by a hitbox.

How could you mention melee yoshi's grab but not melee Marths? And how could you forget 1.0 roadhog hook that literally hooked people through walls? Or literally any of bayonetta's hitboxes (at least you mentioned cloud up-air that's what frame 4 or something). good video but I'm a little disappointed that you didn't mention more busted hitboxes

Looks like Marth grabbed his own grab range from this video's examples of broken hitboxes.

this is what csgo awpers have to deal with constanly, as an awper myself, often times you'll have to be prepared to shoot for a follow-up shot to actually hit the target!

I'm making a comment on a video without watching it. Honestly, is this video for my mom, or my dog? If e-sports is part of your vernacular then a HIT BOX (two words) is about as familiar as wi-fi strength to you.

"Do you ever feel like you shouldn’t have gotten hit? Do you ever think, “no, I definitely hit him.” Do you ever unload an entire magazine on a prone character and somehow miss every shot? Well my friends, if you answered yes to any of these questions, you’ve been shafted by a hitbox."

No, that is being shafted by server sync issues and lag compensation almost always, and rarely entirely the fault of hit box registration. Guess that is not sexy enough for YouTube $$$.
