>>58455579here's a clip
it happens with most things that use close-range moves, even reasonably large pokemon like gogoat
if they gap close during the attack animation it just whiffs over their heads
non-beam attacks like heat wave are fine and hyper voice's hitbox starts on the ground so it's not AS bad as i thought, but it's still fucking stupid
the attack also doesn't even pretend to be shot out of the mouth so i really don't get why it can't just go straight down
