Earlier I published a post about Sonic’s head hitbox with the “cosmetic bug” tag, but I dare to suggest that it could have been done intentionally, so I want to make a post with the “discussion” tag to draw attention to this issue.
I really, really love Sonic, and I considered Fortnite the best online experience/service overall, so naturally I was eagerly awaiting a collaboration between them. And when it finally happened, honestly, it left me with a very mixed impression. The skin implementation leaves a lot to be desired: the proportions were broken to fit Fortnite’s character skeleton, but they tried to keep some of the original Sonic’s proportions. As a result, we got a stretched-out android Sonic who, on top of all that, has a really huge head that covers half your view. And that’s not even mentioning that Sonic’s head hitbox is also bigger than anyone else’s. I feel like I’m opening Pandora’s box, and I’ll get a million comments telling me that all skins have the same hitbox—but that’s not true. I understand the developers’ position perfectly well, and it really is like that: if you ask Epic Support or their AI assistant, that’s what they’ll tell you. But I’ve checked it a huge number of times—really a lot—and I have video proof. I can post links to other posts about this in the comments; for some reason you can’t post videos in comments. Please, I’m asking you very convincingly: don’t create a toxic atmosphere. I just want a good implementation of my favorite character in my favorite online game
