Hard Backfire

Am I mistaken in thinking his shots are larger than they seem to be? Their hitbox seem to hit you even though you think you're about to dodge them.

I'm fighting him while trying to thread the needle as often as I can, but I didn't really have any "wtf?" moment. I'm guessing the star-shaped shots might give you a false impression depending on how they're rotated though.

You can see hitboxes by pressing F7. I'm the one who made the hitboxes for the new shots and I was a little less generous than the original shots. For the most part, the hotboxes are a single square, trying to fit that around a non-square shot leaves you with a lot of variability. The process was actually kinda of interesting, especially comparing it against other games and their hitboxes.

If those particular bullets (I assume you mean the purple stars) are giving a false impression of their size, I can always change them to something else, real easy to do.

I'll have a new go on him with hitboxes displayed. That should help me get a more complete bead on what I "feel" is wrong with him. If anything.

It's definitely the star shaped ones that hit me when I didn't really think they should. I'll get back to you with more concise feedback tomorrow. I got tons of work at work today, and a car fair meetup tonight, so I won't have time to test.
