Turns out that the angles on F-smash does actually change the power of the move. Up angle is strongest dealing 13% and 19.5% No angle is normal dealing 12% and 18% Down angle is the weakest dealing 11.5 and 17.25 I have no idea why they decided to do this, since that is not the case for a large majority of the angleable f-smashes. So basically never angle the move down I guess, unless you want to hit someone on ledge or something.
They said this in the direct Also little Mac down angled smash does the more damage and shield damage and least knockback, from what I know Little Mac's f-smash is 3 different smash attacks really Other fighters that can angle the f smash also have different launch angles from what I can tell
The only thing I can think of when someone says “Team Skull” is pokemon mystery dungeon, now. At least the pmd team skull is better than the pokemon sun/moon version.
@@residentfacehead3465 If you would combine d3 up airs ranbge with palus mobility and starup together with byleths horizontal range that would be a mad move
@Rekzius I think I know why some moves like FAir and FTilt have seeming superfluous hitboxes. I think what is happening is that the new hitboxes that come in after the huge amount of first ones are there to solve for z-axis problems by not being attached to the weapon itself, but instead the air in front of Byleth on the same plane as the stage.
You seem to have been doing all the DLC Characters but you have forgotten about Piranha Plant! As a Plant Main I can say that Plant's hitboxes are quite interesting.

Mr. Game and Watch's hitboxes would be interesting, i'm sure. What with up-B being frame 2 and all. But before him, you gotta get to The Plant if you wanna claim that you've gone through all the dlc characters.
@@sirstack59 I've heard both. I think it's 2nd frame after the input; 3rd frame if you include the frame the input is on. So input frame, animation frame, then the hitbox comes out the next frame. Depends on how you count it, I suppose.
Mr. @Nathamiel You can see what Character is next by looking in the discord. I haven't watched most of the video thus far, but G & W is actually the next character to be shown.
I love these series it makes me really understand these characters more and I feel like it’ll honestly make me a much better player with certain character. I would love for you to do a Zelda, Samus/Dark Samus and Corrin. Great content I’m subscribing for sure!
A lot of moves for characters with weapons like these could be changed into long hitboxes. So instead of having 4 equal hitboxes along the sword, have one long hitbox along the sword. The benefit of a long hitbox is that it has a consistent width, while having 4 hitboxes means you have a bubbly shape around the sword. For the moments when they are strong and weak, make it two long hitboxes; and have lower ID for the strong, and make the weak overlap the strong so there's no gap.
Hey! I dont know if you'll see this. The Sweetspot/Sourspot visualization was great! It made the graphic so much clearer. Please consider doing this in future videos!
I think I know why fair has a punch sound effect. Your not hitting them with the sharp, blade part like back air, you’re hitting them with the back of the lance, which is just like whacking them with a bone. So the punch sound effect makes sense.
I think that back air was made first, and that they used its assets for forward air to save time. Also, weird wind boxes are probably used to keep the player model from shifting to far. Like when Little Mac uses a punch near the ledge.
1:18 I love that the sleeve just phases through Byleth. Even the game itself can't understand how a sword character has punch, sword, and whip physics.
You didn't mention how they forgot to add a check for grab immunity flag to up-B, resulting in an up-throw to up-B. Also, I think you can grab opponents while they are grabbed due to this. That would explain how I ended up at the bottom of the stage at one point after my friends both used up-B and managed to hit me. Also, the tether automates wall-jumping, and prefers it to dealing damage. I really need to find something to do with my life.
I think that because grounded Up-B consists of two grabs. Grab hitbox for the initial swing that ties the enemy to the sword, and a second grab at the peak of the move. If there was grab immunity, the second hit would fail.
Forward air has pucnh sfx because it's a broadside slap rather than a slice with the edge (although the visual effects make it hard to see that this is the case). the reason for the hitboxes that are seemingly added at radnom on some moves (like forward air) are probably there because of z-axis shenanigans during testing if I had to guess
Although Byleth wasn't a highly requested character, Sakurai made it so that he'd be a fun character regardless. Idk how people can argue with this man
6:39 I also don't like that the sound is a weak punch, but apparently, Byleth decided to just, say "This Spear is good for slapping people" and rather than Swing it in a way that would make the blade cut, it's swung... "sideways" so it slaps instead of slashes. Backair, is a thrust, however.
i really can't get a read on this guy, hes let down when somethings simple then flips when its complex. the lore needed for this guys wiki page must by huge.
Actually the only thing about the FE characters that is not like in their origin games is their speed, but I think that's for balance, imagine a fast Robin.
I was really disappointed when Byleth was announced like ugh, another FE character, AND it just has to be on my birthday... then I actually played her and ended up having so much fun I played my first FE game in Three Houses and loved it
4:16 "Nintendo can never seem to make up their mind on how they want to do multi-hit neutral airs" *Bandai Namco, they're the people who have been making the Smash games ever since Smash 4.

I know "Nintendo" is used because it's full of Nintendo characters, but would it be a chore to name the development studio making these things?
Great video although I would have preferred to see the attacks with the weapons so I know where the hitboxes are relative to them. As with the chop, they don’t always necessarily line up with what appears on screen
I'd love to see a full review of Greninja's hboxes, but that's just because I main him. XD I just found out today that you can reverse his side b and I feel pretty dumb.
Sleep is about 2-3 frames with one hit box slightly smaller than jigglypuffs hurt box and is invicible like 2 frames? Sing is 3 hit boxes that burst after one another, can be shielded and is completely trash unless it's a random read or tech chase tool
I watch without sound (don't ask) so if this voice has some audio comments know that I ignore them. 1. 1:58 this monster has to go. Or to be more precise hitbox needs to be expanded so rest of the blade is covered. If they think it would be too good than remaining part of blade might be sour spot with less damage. 2. Once or twice I saw that spear could have 1 pixel of extra range.
Byleth nair gets a landing hitbox but not Ganondorf's forward air even though the animation looks like it should? Apparently making bayleth's down b break shields wasn't enough. Why they gotta do dorf dirty?
Can someone please explain to me why smash hitboxes rarely follow what logically makes sense for the attack? (I.E. the jab hitboxes being under the arm, rather than actually being on the arm and King Dedede's dash attack not actually being connected to his body)
