Small avatars, bounding boxes, and combat

Not long ago, I was standing around at the House of Blade store on Samurai Island, and there was someone that I was not familiar with there who wanted to spar anyone and everyone who showed up.

He was a decent fighter, not great, but better than many that chose to go against him.  Until Malachi showed up, at least.  The gentleman refused to fight Malachi until he put on a bigger shape, stating that the smaller avatar was "too hard to hit, and it’s cheating".

I tried to explain at the time that it certainly was *not* cheating to have a short avatar, but I’m not terribly articulate at the best of times, and this gentleman spoke English as a second language, so between those two factors I was not able to explain well.

I will try to do so now, and though I will probably fail again, perhaps some people will understand my meaning.
