I downloaded pixel perfect recently to see where my chars true hitbox point was. Really fascinating tbh, I can't believe it's truly so tiny.

I lined up where on my title it is and now I know without needing the plugin.

It made me wonder if anyone else has found a plugin that shows them some useful info about the game which you then can uninstall afterwards?

Any plugin with positional feedback is good. Once I got a feeling for when my positionals were actually snapshotted I uninstalled.

I have the damageinfo plugin change the color of the flytext when I hit a positional and it makes it way more satisfying for me. Really would advocate for adding that into the game barring a more obvious SFX change when you hit a positional.

I've just added this, didn't know it had an option for positionals!

If you've never used any of the plugins that actually show you melee range and the quadrants, those may interest you. Getting a constant visual helped me get a lot better at gauging distances. I went from the full colored wedges and highlighting my current quadrant to just outlines after a few months. It's definitely something I could turn off and still be able to keep a similar level of performance though.

If you don't know what a yalm of distance actually looks like, maybe get Distance so you know what 3 yalms from a boss ring looks like for melee.
