it is usually a thing that the laws of physics are not applicable to games. Especially your adversaries attack you between two frames and kill you. I calculated some of these events and found out that not even ghost plasma can move so fast at typical distances. In which case they could as well have a random counter running that kills you at random times so you need not to play at all with the same results. ..you figure it lowers the fun to zero. wtf?

This reminds me of a general problem I have with video game difficulty sometimes - like the advanced/hard modes, instead of better AI, better tactics, etc. they just make the enemies have double the health and the ability to instakill you and as you say, that is un-fun
