Explaining Snake's Scary Hitboxes (Smash Ultimate) 

YOU DIDNT DO HIS TAUNT

Snake's hitboxes are so huge on his moves where he uses his legs because he's dummy thicc.

8:39 is me when i see a roach

I find his star KO scream so hilarious. “NOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Remember his Brawl Up-tilt? Pepperidge farm remembers.

7:12 I think someone at Nintendo just thought to himself: "Nice"

I JUST realized that "snakes solid hitboxes" would've been the best title ever

Snake: kicks chrom’s pinky finger Chrom: *fuckin’ dies*

His own hitbox may have gotten smaller since they nerfed a certain pair of muscles

His d tilt is better than most swordmen's ones. Why is it so large and disjointed?

12:02 This is not unusual; almost every down smash that hits in front on the first hit and back on the second hit has this property.

9:29 I just noticed when Snake hits with nikita he does a cute little "yea, I got em" animation.

Recommendation: a video explaining hitbox visualizations in general. That way people don’t have to go looking for your explanation of overlapping hitboxes in your Joker video, Auto-Link hitboxes in this video, hitbox priority in your Hero video, etc. You could include things like that as well as an explanation of Sakurai angles, “clinking” priority, super armor, BKB vs. KGB (and I still don’t even know what FKB is), etc. That way if anyone doesn’t understand the hitbox jargon in this videos, you can direct them to the encyclopedia video

I’ll explain f-air Employee: *doing stuff* Boss: Snakes forward air is too good Employee: What? No it’s not. Boss: Yes it is! Look at the spike! Employee: You do realize how slow it is, right? Boss: All I know is that YOU need to nerf it *walks away* Employee: Too good... Sure, I’ll nerf it for you, boss! *CHANGES ANGLE BY A SINGLE DEGREE*

While it's a little bonkers in terms of game-balance, i can understand why Snake's dash attack is so good if you consider its origins. It's arguably one of the most famous moves in his arsenal that made it into Smash, and one of its main purposes was to, fittingly, knock people way away. If anything, it just makes me wish Snake was less of a Zoner and more-so designed to be an All-Rounder. Give him more of that CQC and whatnot.

2:22 Why does snake's f-tilt's look like an anime pose

As a quick note, snake's down tilt hitboxes actually each have slightly different knockback angles of 80, 75, and 70, but other than that they're identical There are also several other characters who have stronger hits on the back of their down smashes, such as Mario and Zelda, although the latter actually trades damage for higher knockback growth on the back hit

Snake mains: Is that You? Snake's Bair: Yes, but that's an old photo.. The photo: Link's Nair

I think Snake’s down tilt’s hitboxes are so big to cover the swipe effect that appears when characters kick

Snake back air being able to hit for like a billion frames after startup is like if bowser was able to edge guard by just bumping into opponents midair

Could have been "Snakes sneaky hitboxes"

"But hey, this is Ultimate, and no one has any lag on anything." Me: *cries in Piranha Plant*

with the amount of disjoints snake's got might just make him a sword character

You should fo Mii Gunner next so you can clickbait with Sans

snake isnt really a zoner hes more of a setplay sort of character but those dont really exist in smash outside of snake

It's pretty usual actually, that the "hits on both sides one after another" down smashes like Marios, luigis and snakes are stronger on the second back hit. Probably because they are harder to hit

These hitbox videos are some of the best Smash Ultimate content on this platform in my opinion. Keep it up! You're doing something great for the community! 😊

These hitboxes are MASSIVE compared to smash 4’s snake hitboxes legit, they were like nonexistent

0:18 Solid haha get it

Now that you looked at one “zoner’s” dumb hit boxes, Samus also has some huge ones if ya care to check them out.

snake's up tilt is overrated and triggering because sometimes it seems like it is the same as brawl snake which that one was frankly insane

Snakes scary, shocking, scandalous, surprising, super, hit boxes

This analysis is so well done. Whenever I meet a snake online I just feel like I know what their character is capable of.

Been playing snake for 10 years and it's just a pleasure to see this

I think people always think his up tilt has a crazy hitbox because of how insane it was in Brawl

Solid snake's solid hitboxes

I hope to see a video about Wario’s hitboxes soon, Some of his airs can be pretty interesting.

4:25 yah, because the freeze frame shows the frame after the hit so the opponent is in their being hit animation, it often looks like a hit box is much larger than it actually is. This is especially true when a person throws out a very horizontal forward/back air, but have a very vertical being hit position. Seriously, in Most WTF smash videos the answer to what happened is the opponent did a forward aerial and got hit the first frame their body was extended, then immediately going into a hit animation in the complete opposite direction as their Forward air. =b

Is no one going to acknowledge the fact that snake DABS while finishing his down smash

Solid video as always, Rekzius. Do you think you could do a video on Robin's hitboxes? I always thought they were a bit weird, especially his jab.

To be fair most of his disjointed hitboxes like dtilt, dair, bair, etc. have visual indicators like the trail sfx, it does look jarring in the hitbox visualizer because there are no sfx

I heard somewhere that Banjo Up tilt is a humble Snake Up tilt and now I can't think of the two moves in any other way

Great video !

Yes, this is what I need in my life

your supposed to use his dash attack and down tilt+down air to tech chase and cover ledge options. landing one raw is a guaranteed punish unless your opponent eats glue

Do Marth next so we can really see whats going on with those tippers.

Can you do Marth? I think it would be good to shown how bad the tippers are and be explained why they're bad. That or Palutena's funky hitboxes.

Missed opportunity to title the video snake's solid hitboxes.

12:01 strike that pose snake

I think the reason for the different damage on ftilt2 is because the first hit would combo into the aerial one, but if only the second hit connects it might make up for the missed first hit?

Love your vids👍

We need Pit's. If anyone got screwed over by hitbox placement, it's Pit. I think Pit would be WAY better than he is right now if he didn't have legitimately the worst hitboxes in the game. He hits fast and hard enough, but he's just so inconsistent.

Could you make another smash mechanics vid covering priority?

I’d really like to see Corrin’s hitboxes sometime.

Great video, but you just forgot about Snake's taunt hitbox.

11:04 Do note that the actual attack is only 2 frames. May not sound relevent but it makes for interesting mind games and punishing dashes. It also can even hit people that roll backward after a down throw if buffered, granted it can fail if their dodges are fresh enough.

For a second, I thought that was Cloud's up air in the thumbnail and was very confused by the title, lol

watching to this to get angry about snake for 13 minutes.

12:00 Hotline bling meme

3 years later and im still pissed that this video isnt called Snake's Solid Hitboxes

YOU MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO NAME IT “Snakes solid hit boxes”

11:56 jojo snake

Could you do Lucina

Ngl, I was kinda hoping you'd put in a hitbox image for brawl up tilt just for the fun of it lol

7:11 Nice 😳👌

I think the disjoints look less jarring normally because of the shockwave particles not seen in the models (down tilt, up air)

Ivarsaur has the best spike in the game.... Sees that snakes is 269 degrees Perhaps I spoke too soon

For being from a game about stealth, Snake sure loves to fill the stage with noisy explosions...

Snake stole his dlc privilege from banjo

I'm a bit biased because I play the character but I think you should do a video on Zelda sometime. She may not be high tier or anything but she's definitely an improvement from Smash 4 and some hitboxes on her are a little strange and surprisingly good in places. (Dsmash's frame data for example...great startup and angle) Also her fair/bair sourspots practically cover her entire body and I think that's hilarious.

That moment when the sour spot hitbox is his actual foot and the sweet spots are his mind magic

Do you think Marth's hitboxes would be possible? I'd really like some insight as to why tippers seem so inconsistent this game. I checked on ultimateframedata but the tipper hitboxes seemed pretty reasonable there, is it a hitbox priority thing? Would love an explanation.

I know most of megaman's attacks are bullet arts, but if you can find some bonkers hitboxes on some of his attacks, that would be great.

Good video

K.Rool’s Konkering hit boxes

Do you think you could do bayonetta next? I've always wondered what her hitboxes looked like

autolink angle is found on one non-multihit move: Little Mac's Neutral Air. unless, of course, we aren't counting little mac's aerials as moves (which is fair)

The developers must've had a dartboard with different characters and moves plastered all over it that they threw darts at while blindfolded when deciding where to add s. I can't even fathom why adding s to such a strong burst option like Snake's dash attack is a good idea in any context.

7:14 *nice* *"Nice"*

12:07 for dabbing snake

Could you please do a video on the Mii Fighters?

I am all to familiar with fighting these moves

But remember, Snake is a fair, totally balanced character and not brain dead dumb at all

One of these days you’re gonna run out of alliterative titles.

So is there a reason for having an airborne only and grounded only hitbox overlap instead of just one hitbox that does both?

title shoulda been snakes solid hit boxes

12:05 Snake dab

Snake traded his ass for those hitboxes

I think a wind box and water box video would be cool. Kirby's inhale and Squirtles water gun.

11:58 snake, busting a move

I would love to see a video on Jigglypuff!

Ima be honest I was a long time brawl player and when I first used his missile in ultimate I swear it was dam amazing

7:14 nice

4:30 NICE

I’d love to see fox at some point

9:00 what animationis that ? Never seen it

You should do snake next!

Well, honestly, why wouldn’t they overlay some of the old hit boxes? It’s not laziness, that’s just being efficient. It only looks lazy because you’re not supposed to be looking at it at all. It’s an invisible hit box. If you couldn’t tell up until now that there were six there, that means they did their job. Not hating or anything though.

Small correction: grenades have decreased hitboxes for the character that threw them last, not necessarily for snake
