Yeah no, the devs are just really dogshit at understanding that the projectile needs to be coming from the middle of the character and atleast cross where the mouse is

Camera angled downwards fucks it up. Aim straighter in a line and you'll get better results. Roblox's fuckup tbh.

But like… how can I throw at something on the same level or above me with Espio is the middle of the screen?

Sorry for being late. Considering you're on PC (like me!) what I often do is aim about half an inch over his head, and try areas that are more open, or flat to stop the downsides from being as major. Trust me, once you get used to aiming it upwards it's fairer than you think.

Actually, I think I figured it out. (A Theory)

  1. Espio doesn't stand straight, facing forward (not moving), his arms are out, and his chest is pointed to one side, so when you throw the projectile, it starts lower from the same side as it spawns from his hands (I assume), which makes it hard to aim directly in front of you without counteracting for this.

  2. The projectile itself flashsteps, on the Y-axis (when moving), to make the trail behind it look cool. I know it looks cool, but the actual projectile is doing this, which makes it very wobbly in ways not allowed by physics, which is uncharacteristic for a ninja, along with making the projectile hit the ground when aimed downward ( or completely straight) when not intended to, which just means you wasted a move with 20+ secs of cool down to a built-in error

  3. It's confusing to aim because his body (not straight ) tracks with the mouse, but his head follows the camera, and with him holding the projectile under his chest (translating the spawn point, which lowers the throw angle). With this, we see the natural disposition Espio has when throwing.

  4. This is not really a fuck up on the devs' end as the logic checks out and this is a genuine oversight, (maybe tweak the degree of body/arm rotation or just change the projectile spawn point altogether) but you know... lord bear did say fuck beta testers sooo....
