Notice some interesting hitboxes in SFA2 like M.Bison/Vega standing HK which hits in the very begining and covers a wide area aswell as Birdie`s cr.HP which as an instant hitframe and beats many jumps. Also notice M.Bison`s jump in SFA2 and SFZ2A….

In reply to Moony. Cool stuff. I know that Ibuki's short Kazekiri has lower body invincibility, and Akuma's demon flip is also airborne on the first frame.

In reply to Poke. Sure no problem: http://pastebin.com/EPHs1JBR It's just text so no need for a zip file.

thanks a lot Dammit for replies.

a small overall suggestion/request for this type of article: can you share a .zip link with the scripts for setting up these screenshots in the future?

it might help people interested to learn the scripting language. i totally understand if you don’t want to..

In reply to Poke. Good question. With these emus you can't do more than one script at a time. (Not yet anyway.) It's possible to make one script run the other, or to merge them into one but that can get complicated. For the difficult setups (like the double Sky High Claw) I used macrolua and set it to autopause when complete, then switched to the hitbox script and advanced to the right frame, like how Maj described in this article. By the way, Buttermaker found something interesting regarding Bad Spray/Tengu Walking so I added that above.

i see.. also can you use the hitbox display script with an input macro script? if so, how do you load 2 scripts at the same time?

In reply to Poke. The same scripts work with both emus. I recommend MAME for the hitboxes because drawing lots of semitransparent stuff on screen can slow down FBA. The reason has something to do with FBA using your computer's CPU to do the color mixing while MAME uses the video card, which takes the load off the CPU.

amazing informative article. i love the Alpha series (A2 in particular)

question: there’s similar (or maybe the same) hitboxes scripts for FBA-rr as well, why do you prefer MAME-rr?
