-Every action that is meant to interactive with something else possesses a hitbox of some kind. The parts of an animation where a hitbox is present are called '''active frames''', which generally correlate to the part of the animation that looks like it is supposed to cause an interaction. Attacks with a single strike tend to have very few active frames, while attacks that linger like [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]] has lots of active frames.

 The two most common forms of hitbox shapes in video games are {{iw|wikipedia|cuboid}}s and spheres. Neither is obviously better than the other - cuboids can more easily form long or thin attacks or targets, while spheres are easier to calculate collision detection for. The original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' uses cuboids whereas ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' use spheres and sphere-like structures known as capsules (cylinders with spheres on the ends).
