Hitboxes

Tapped (close)

The scripts only specify a hitstun modifier for the ID 0 hitbox, but it also applies to the ID 1 hitbox due to a glitch.

Trivia

• The tapped far forward tilt has a 50% trip chance that is nearly impossible to achieve in practice, as only the ID 0 hitbox can cause it on steep enough slants, such as the ones in Hanenbow, but hitting it also requires the opponent to be at a distance where the close-range version of the forward tilt is activated instead.
