hitbox and hurtbox thread 12/21/15 (Mon) 04:48:37 No.36218

So I have recently gotten into touhou and played EoSD, and I have noticed the the hitboxes are really fucking jank. Does anyone know how bit hitboxes for most danmaku are, or at least how big reimu's is?

Do hurtbox sizes change from character to character?

Are they as jank in the other games?

pic completely unrelated, I lost the one about hurtboxes that had meiling, and I think this image is cute anyway

There's supposed to be a fanmade patch that adds in the hitbox while focused like in other games, but I've never used it.

Reimu usually has a smaller hitbox than Marisa, so I'd guess it's about the same here. Couldn't tell you specifically how big that is though.

Hitboxes are typically much smaller than their sprite. Some of EoSD's hitboxes are different than in other games. In particular, the hitbox for bubbles is bigger. The colored part is considered the hitbox, while in other games the transparent part is the hitbox. Orb and flame hitboxes are also different. The hitbox is the same for Reimu and Marisa in EoSD. Marisa's hitbox is bigger in all future games.

This is an extremely tiny nitpick of mine, but just hear me out because it just irks the shit out of me when anons don't know the difference between hitboxes and hurtboxes

For future reference,

Hitboxes are an attack or a projectile being launched

Hurtboxes are the parts of a character or enemy that receive damage

This isn't entirely true, but it gives you the basic gist.

You're right. Thanks for telling me.

Never heard of hurtboxes before; I've only ever heard them being called hitboxes.

I think the term hurtbox is used mostly in fightans and nowhere else. Most people use the term hitbox for everything, projectiles, characters, and more. The word changes meaning with context, like with most things Japanese. Not saying you're wrong, but people unfamiliar to that genre aren't wrong either due to it's wide usage.

You can patch in hitboxes into EoSD with a retexture pack.

It's linked in the game's page on the wiki.
