Yes, evidently, though my character has actually launched more close range attacks than your own, lest you forget the rock slam, or the two grapples. Your character has proven either un-hittable or un-stoppable through anything less than bullets because you literally just say 'well the Pater is a master at dodging therefore it escapes'. Besides which it's not exactly rocket science fighting Higan's Mech, it's got incredibly exploitable weak-spots that your character has already worked out using its insider knowledge into Ramor technology.
