Why is Aegon missing his left arm when he’s opponent and right arm when you play him?

Just an observation. When you play against Aegon , he is missing his left arm, but when you play him he’s missing his right arm.

Is this s bug or just a dumb mistake.

    Because the AI champ is a mirrored version of the original. It's obvious with champs that carry an object (Dr Voodoo, Captain America, Loki).

    They are right-handed when you control them but lefty when against them.

    I think it's just to make his animations consistent and easier to apply. They just reflect the animations from a facing left to facing right perspective which leads to his arm switching depending on when you are fighting as vs against him. I believe its the same thing with winter soldier

    i noticed this with a bunch of other champs a few years back, mainly guillotine caught my attention,used to bug me but im used to it. its easier to program a mirror image than to show the other side.

    It’s easier to have the AI mirror a champs than to build them in their correct stance. They would technically be facing their backs towards us and would not be aesthetically pleasing if it was correct. Most fighting games are this way.

    Meh. In 3 years, I haven't noticed. I'll probably go back to not noticing. Lol.
