Can you explain this Kamikaze!?

(1/2) > >>

Almog:
Hi guys,

I practiced offline to try and understand some Kamikaze stuff I haven't figured out yet.

Take a look at 1:20. The first worm undergoes kamikaze attack and drowns, and then the second worm (the attacked one) doesn't drown, as in, there's a land there. After a few turns I confirmed it wasn't a pixel or something- there's a complete land.

Any explanations?

its a well known bug, when kami distance equals water distance, it leaves 1 pixel of land even though the worm sinks.  its a 1 pixel floor all the way across the kami chute.

Hah. ok.

You'd guess I'd know that after all those elites I played =p

Mablak:
The pixel floor can be even thicker too, up to like 15 pixels.

Also, kami can fail in another way: if you do kami standing on land that's 17, 33, 49, 65, 81, 97... pixels tall (every 16 pixels), kami will leave 1 pixel of land on the left and right sides (with no floor). So basically, it's good to have your opponent fall through the center to be safe, because it's hard to tell where those heights are. Replay here:

Another way to look at it: there's a 6.25% chance your kami hole will have those single pixels, so plan accordingly :0
