==Relevance to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
Hitbox, along with azubu.tv and a few others, was seen as an alternative to twitch for streaming [[Project M]] after the potential legal backlash and the removal of add revenue for Project M dominated streams.
===Use by Nintendo===
Unlike Twitch, Nintendo does not currently have a hitbox.tv account.
===Problems with Project M===
There has been problems streaming [[Project M]] on Twitch due to the legal gray area regarding the fan mod. Streams that depend on revenue through paid subscriptions are unable to stream Project M. For this reason, PM streams have moved to [[hitbox.tv]] instead. Other series have also started streaming solely on hitbox as well including [[Nebulous]].

hitbox.tv or hitbox for short is a website created for the purpose of sharing live video feeds (called "livestreams" or just "streams") on the Internet and is a smaller alternative to Twitch, popular for both Project M as well as streams for tournaments such as the Nebulous series.

Overview

Hitbox's primary purpose is to allow users to record themselves playing video games while others can watch in real-time as they play the game. The service has frequently seen use in high-profile tournaments as to allow interested viewers to spectate games or matches that they ordinarily cannot see live; outside of this, hitbox.tv has also seen use by casual players in order to merely record themselves playing for a public audience.

Streams recorded in hitbox.tv can also be uploaded to YouTube upon their conclusion; similar to YouTube, hitbox.tv also offers a partnership programmer that allows users to potentially monetize their streams.
