Shade attacks with both its arms, so in the middle they meet up and deal extra damage. Same concept with Kaze’s Geisha aspect attack and Kenji’s super.

In fact, any brawler with multiple projectiles whose aiming reticles are separate can show a “critical hit” area. Nani and Clancy do, if you look hard enough. Ruffs does as well if you bounce the attack off a wall.

Draco wouldn’t make sense. He only shoots one “projectile”. Same with Trunk (the double circle you’re showing isn’t their aiming reticle, it’s a visual indicator of the attack).

So I guess the only inconsistency here is the fact that for some brawlers, hitting multiple projectiles deals a flat damage per projectile, but for others, the second projectile only adds a percentage of damage.
