What's going on here? How did it do 7%?

This is still a hypothesis but I believe header damage is determined acceleration. To keep it simple, the ball fell from on high with no air resistance allowing it's velocity to constantly increase, resulting in higher damage/knockback.

You should be able to easily recreate this by testing in training with a bunnyhood.

That would explain why Heavy Header does a bunch of damage and Huge Header does beans for damage.

Heavy does a ton of damage if used from a high place if i'm not wrong
It does 9% close i think, and close to 13-14% at max, with good ko power.
