Description

When given the problem of jabs being inconsistent at landing jablocks, the solution added at the time were reworks to several jabs by giving them a hitbox dedicated for jablocking near the ground. However as it stands these hitboxes might prove to be a bit silly being able to hit airborne opponents as well as opponents trying to recover or even tall opponents merely standing below you as depicted here Screenshot_20220310-183655_YouTube

At the same time, while fixing this issue it'd also be a prime time to reposition some of the hitboxes of multiple jabs that are admittedly, very odd looking such as Little Mac's jab 1 IDs 3, 4 and 5 as seen here 2022031013164700-0E7DF678130F4F0FA2C88AE72B47AFDF

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing hitbox system for jabs. Understand how hitbox data is structured and loaded. Reproduce the issues with inconsistent jablocking and odd hitbox positions. Propose adjustments to hitbox parameters such as size, offset, and angle to ensure they only affect grounded opponents and look natural.
