first of all it is running away from you, and then turning in mid-step and backing up further, considering your character has less than a second to react to this and position a throw, something so accurate seems unlikely for anyone of relatively human stats.

He can do all that in a second but my guy can't fling his weapon in that same time frame? Also, given the size of the mech at 12 feet, even his second smallest weapon in that picture is around 6 feet or so, the largest weapon, which is the one I'm attacking, maybe around 9 feet (just by guess work upon examination). Adding in the fact that he's still at quite close range and I truly don't see how that's pinpoint accuracy. The mech for sure had a much smaller target (saanga's entire body smaller than the weapon) and hit him 100% at much further range. If we say it's the speed at which this is all going on that shoots his accuracy to kingdom come, then it would stand to reason the mech wouldn't be able to hit saanga either (unless having a gun rather than a lance upgrades his accuracy tremendously).

But I'm fine with Rilla's judgement on this. He'll probably die in the next post.
