Tell a jump onto an enemy from a bump into its side

Landing on an enemy should defeat it and touching its side should hurt, but at high fall speed the hero often ends up deep inside the enemy before the game looks, and gets hurt for a perfect jump. This entry shows which moment to judge it at.

Why this works

The game only looks after the move, but the player acted before it. A landing is judged by where the feet were when the fall began to meet the enemy, not by how deep the overlap got afterwards, so speed cannot turn a clean jump into a bump.

When not to use it

Skip it when enemies are spiky or armoured on top, or when you want landing on them to hurt. Also skip it for enemies that move fast and sideways at the player: judge those by their own attack rules, not by where the hero came from.
