How many collision checks do you need to make here to see if Zangief gets hit? Now here’s a question - how many collision checks do I need to make in order to tell if Ryu hit Gief this frame? With thousands of polygons potentially colliding, that can easily mean millions of collision checks every frame. If yes, Zangief gets hit.

When dealing with rectangles, it’s actually easier to tell if there isn’t a collision than if there is. I can isolate all of the situations where a collision is impossible, check for those, and then say if any of these conditions comes back true, there’s cannot have been a collision. That’s [ contrapositive ] logic for you!

Here is an example of adding collision shapes to Suzanne by using standard shapes (two capsules, a sphere and a box): It works and it will collide more or less OK, but it's tedious to build and far from perfect. When geometry is not convex, the usual workflow is to create more than one shape to cover the desired concave area.

Collision shape adjustment. After cleaning it up you will have to adjust the collision shape and/or the size of physical bones in order to match the part of body that each bone should simulate.
