Tekken’s Hurtbox Conundrum: Why Players are Facing Off Against Their Own Fists
Hurtboxes, in simple terms, define the areas around a character that determine if they get hurt by attacks in games like Tekken. However, some players have been expressing concerns about mechanics causing these hurtboxes to grow when attacking. A player humorously remarked, “If you keep playing this game, your hurtbox grows! You need to take a break to stay safe, right?” This joke highlights the common frustration that being aggressive in the game can paradoxically make you more vulnerable. It’s as if the game itself is causing self-inflicted wounds. These mechanics might feel harsh; they could drive anyone to throw their controller in anger—explaining the humor in many comments. The level of annoyance has become so high that some players are considering deleting the game altogether. It feels like athletes preparing for the Olympics, only to discover more obstacles have been added to their race track!
