Beautiful! Thanks, Rob!

It should also be noted that your hitbox remains your head when dismounted (so with Quaid, it's quite high), and when you remount, your hitbox teleports back a fair chunk. Likewise when you use your Dragon Attack your hitbox teleports forward, but ... that almost never gets me into trouble. Not like the tilt thing.

Edit: Oh, nevermind... it doesn't actually move that much when you mount dismount. It moves MAYBE half your hitbox, vertically, which, is basically meaningless ^_^

Edit2: I had an epiphany... If there's a pattern or cloud of bullets that I fear needs tight dodging where the wobble will likely get me killed, I can just fire off the dragon, and stay dismounted. Not only does my hitbox NOT tilt when I move, but I also move a hair slower, which makes tight dodging easier. Why didn't I think of this earlier *smacks forehead*

1-5 and 1-6, yes. 1-7, no.

Here is a wonderful superplay by SYO: http://super-play.co.uk/index.php?superplay=2321

Of course, all of the tech bonuses are showcased.

I think it's been said before but that is really one of the most impressive superplays around, imo.

Been getting into this game and the hitbox and ship stats in this thread have been very helpful.

Currently I'm switching between Quaid (defensive/survival) and Rob (heavy metal offense), but I need to get better at milking the stages. Seems like Rob's wide shot is a disadvantage there, though Ian's homing daggers are too weak to matter.
