edit: Nemesis is the weapon that is strongest at level 1, and gets progressively weaker. Each level takes only 1 xp, and the level 3 shoots these useless short range ducks.
The way it is going to work, is that you get the stronger shots as you have less hp. At full HP you shoot the ducks. Don't worry though, I'm going to give them a second weapon (1 and 2 keys to switch). Probably the Spur to balance out the relative short range.
Another thing I'm doing is that they can only aim in the orthogonal directions now, just like in Cave Story. This should balance out the combination of high hp, high damage, and high mobility.
The point is that the current iteration (2.3) or even the buffed 2.4 iteration of Q/C would be very useless compared to the rest of the non-vanilla classes. The reason I'm changing Q/C and not any other vanilla classes is because I think they deserve much better. What better way than to give them incredible mobility and an extremely high dps close/midrange weapon (double upwards nemesis level 1 has 156 dps at max range, and much higher point blank; the highest in the game)
I said they were useless just to poke fun at sani because I knew he'd react to it.
