Best is still when you make a wall as nature/mak/faerie, then titan does a bullshit side attack like this one while you walk backwards, then you die over a 2x2 unit distance.

This shit, exactly. This is the stuff of nightmares. It's even worse when you are doing it away from mound and builders are blocking your next wall, leading to your inevitable demise of a wall walk range hit.

It's actually less than 1x1, but it's diagonal so it looks like it's more.

Btw, nice videos Apom, A++.

The Makrura video is the same as standard. It's just the isometric angle on the bottom side of titan coupled with the ramp gives it the illusion it's further when it's not (Wc3 doesn't work in 3 dimensions, it doesn't take vertical height as a factor). Gap was 2x2 so there's no pathing block on that wall and if the titan is in range to start the hit with no block then it will always finish (bugs sometimes). If it didn't then titan simply wouldn't be able to attack builders when chasing them.

Edit: Just to clarify for the video, at the end of the 29th second the attack starts with the Makrura 1 block away. You see the titan go left and down a bit around the wall and immediately start the attack when you pop out.

Correct. If you count the units, you can figure out that it's around 2.5 units

Incorrect, the titan's range is less than one block away. It's around .75 units. In the video the attack was started at around .75 unit distance diagonally, then when it finished attacking, it was around 2.5 units away.

Some more distance from the titan and it would've "missed". You can make titans miss if you do some insane run tagging (or sheep tagging) and RC jump away from the titan, which is 4 units away, or blink away with faerie.

E.G. https://youtu.be/_s7yuh2RDUk?t=58 (Of course, it's harder to do in ID because titan attack speed/animation is faster)

I still don't see the reason for correcting 1 block to 0.75 but hey why am I even surprised.... I already know that you understand @Burn , it's easier to explain it to people when they see a wall as 4 blocks and a 1x1 space as 1 block. It really doesn't need to be specific to 0.75.

Also in my opinion it was more like 0.78 and finished at around 2.36.

0.75 > 0.

Only jump walls are safe.
