What’s most fascinating to me is the Alpha 3 box. I used to wonder what change was made that made Crouch Strongs such good anti-air, and I always assumed it was wonky hit boxes on the Crouching Strongs. Now I see that’s it’s entirely because of the nerfed Jumping Hit Boxes. And I wonder if they did that due to A3’s higher frequency of air-to-air fights, and for things such as, post-Flipping, characters fall faster so they had to weaken the Hit Boxes so they weren’t too dominating. It’s very fascinating.

if you couldn’t tell, the last one is a joke, that game obviously has no use for hitboxes
