Jumping is definitely a possibility as I was trying to get out of the oil as I thought I wouldn't make it. But how does jumping/being airborne change anything versus just spindashing in/into him?

Hi all,

Can someone explain what's going on with my last boss hit here?

I released my spindash to avoid dying and I got bounced back, meaning that I hit the boss, but the boss didn't get hit. As this was the second time it happened to me, I didn't even try to hit the boss when it came back, as I knew my hit would take effect then.

But still, what's going on here? Is this one frame off of the game crashing last-frame-hit or something?

Thanks!
