Great post. And it’s not just about hitboxes, of course! For each one of these titles the dev team redoes the art and SFX to accommodate a specific aesthetic, of course.
Think of how different Ryu looks, sounds, and plays in SF4, Tatsunoko, Smash Bros., and Marvel 3!

And my point remains the same as it was then: How do build an asset that is interoperable across all games?
Like, the code behind a hitbox is ubiquitous — every game dev textbook covers it — but how games use and interpret hitboxes is completely different across the industry.
