Size doesn't matter?

IIRC slash beams will always be just as inaccurate no matter how large or how close the target is. Monitor 00:52, 18 October 2008 (CDT)

I think you're right; the only real variables that determined how long a slash beam was on/off target was which axis it chose to slash along and how much target was actually on that path. Target size and range to target didn't have much practical effect. -- BlueFlames 01:47, 18 October 2008 (CDT) (The man who needs to stop editing the wiki at quarter-to-three in the morning.)
