Sakurai is working on hitboxes and fighter skills by himself
by Lugia2453 Thu Nov 21, 2013 8:57 pm
According to an interview he made to video gaming website Polygon, Sakurai is working on hitboxes and fighter skills by himself. He has tried to give this task to other people on his team, but it hasn't always worked out for him. He also doesn't want to release an incomplete game, even though this gives him a huge workload.
“In all previous Smash Bros. games, I’ve entered in all the data for fighter skills and hitboxes by myself, and it’s quite nearly that way with this game too. I’ve thought about leaving this work to others and I’ve actually tried it once or twice, but it hasn’t worked out. I don’t want to release an incomplete game, and I want everything to be as successful as possible, but it results in a massive amount of work for me. It’s a big problem, but there are reasons for doing it this way. Characters’ in-game balance and features are something that I’m thinking about from the start while coming up with motions. If I left that to someone else midway, that’d make things more difficult. It’s faster and more accurate to just input the numbers myself than try to explain it in words to somebody.”

Yeah. I'm fine with him creating all of the hitboxes and movesets, but there needs to be some extensive testing that goes on by others to make sure it's decently balanced. That way, we won't get another Meta Knight.Taidow wrote:Wasn't this the issue with Brawl?

Well, Meta Knight was the one completely dominating tournaments, which of course led to him being banned. Another Snake would be fine I guess; I just don't want the situation to become where one character dominates almost the entire competitive scene. But if even more fine-tuning could be done, I'd be even happier.
