Spider Ham entrance animation is a funny cartoonish one as the character is.
Ok, but no other champ do like this, Deadpool do some jump before ,but is ready to do the 1st hit.
So, Spider Ham have this disadvantage if you want to start hit your rival(cpu).
Try it yourself and will fail miserably.
Even against tiny Champs as Rocket he fail to hit first. But the inverse no, Rocket can hit Ham easily.
A few times the rival (cpu) wont start by hit, maybe with a dex or in rare cases a parry.
In Battlegrounds is way worse if you're hit before ...
Of course we can parry or dex at first, but this thing should be fixed , removing the last jump... or ...pump
Some examples
1 - Against Thing
2 - Against Rocket
3 - Now, with Rocket against Ham
4 - Ham vs Ham, we cant do the 1st hit also
5 - Against Thing, in this example, the rival goes back and we can hit
Try and see...

I’m so glad someone else has brought this up. You will never ever ever ever be able to land a hit immediately into the fight.
Yeah, I noticed that with Spider-Ham a very long time ago. Honestly surprised nothing has been done about it for years.
op keep posts like this coming, actually good and useful/insightful
Whether I should be disappointed I am wrong or should be happy my wrong statement resulted in this post?
Whereas those earlier comments (in some other thread) Peix may have said only Dex was possible, Peix does seem to say Parry is also possible in the opening of their new post here.
And I tried a small sampling of Parry vs rapid-fire-tap Light hits to start out (against some self-Practice and some Duels).
Some Parry did work as normal at start of fight, but another time failed and got hit in the face (but that may be because of micro-lagging that resulted in initial Parry attempt too late).
Rapid-fire-Light's to start a fight did seem to be 50/50. Sometimes succeed, other times got hit in the face.
(With other champs, you shouldn’t ever be getting hit in face from rapid-fire beginnings, although you could end up getting Parried by Defender blocking right away against you if it is in real-opponent mastery mode like BG/AW/Duel)
(and I assume that, rapid-fire-light, is what Peix means when saying “attack at start”, and not some fool's errand attempt at a perfectly timed Medium Swipe to start fight)
Peixe is fish in portuguese
Peix dont have any translation
I was about to do this thread a long time ago, that other thread about the guy that pulled Spider Ham , reminded me.
Its very clear that im talking about to do the very first hit.
Not to parry or dex as the 1st movement,that we can do...its obvious...lol
Well, I think Kabam guys may answer here if is possible to change Spider Ham Button anim before fight starts
@KabamPinwheel @KabamDORK
So is Spider Ham coded to always get hit when starting the fight with a L attack ?
Please @KabamPinwheel @KabamDORK
🙌
@World Eater
AI will parry sometimes
Size XL champions always have advantage over Size S champions
I also like double hit animation from Silk, when I intercept the first hit miss and the second hit lands and saves the day
But another tedious thing, not related to Spider Ham, is the constant pop-ups from Battlegrounds even after we claimed that .
