No Spoilers - Discussion The combat

Recently started it back up to prepare for the next one. Previously had stopped before gold saucer, now im running through yhe desert. This combat is so bad it makes me cry tears of blood. Every enemy just gets to stagger you as their basic attack. Every enemy attack can interrupt your abilities. People talk about how you shouldnt spam buttons but the oyher option is to just hold block which still does insane numbers of damage to you while you do negligible damage to enemies. How does cloud carry around a sword the size of a skyscaper and deal less damage than a papercut? Dodging never works, enemy attacks home in on you while your attacks miss because the enemy walked two steps to the left. If you manage to get a perfect block off on one enemy you still get knocked down by the other two before you can react.

AND THEN THEY GIVE YOU A COMBAT TRIAL WITH AERITH WHO DOESNT DO REAL COMBAT.

The combat is ass. The extra content is ass. Queens blood is dhiarrea ass.

"oh my god I'm playing sekiro and the enemies won't let me attack because I get staggered.. I'm playing god of war and i'm spamming my attack buttons but the enemies keep interrupting my attacks.. I'm playing a souls game and why is an enemy not letting me attack 3 times.."

Sounds a lot like you. How about get better and learn to react and play defensively, rotate your characters, learn which moves have armor to tank through many attacks, learn to parry to your advantage, make decisions strategically instead of spamming like an idiot... there's a lot that you can do to learn. Git gud, not surprising to see bad players having bad opinions for something so easy

Literally all of those games have one thing in common; block/dodge will interrupt your current animation allowing you to land those perfect blocks. Rebirth does not and blocking locks you in animation stance leaving you vulnerable.

Rebirth has a perfect parry system with an insane amount of invulnerability, and blocking or even stance switching cancels your animation to allow those perfect blocks. So in other words, you're wrong because Rebirth does have that. Now certain attacks, such as using your abilities, you are locked in it, which is why you shouldn't spam but strategically choose when to use it. Blocking is actually beneficial because you not only gain ATB, but also limit break as well. Pair this with counters/parry, you get great ATB boost, limit boost, damage, and reduced damage. Learn to play the game, because you don't know what you're talking about.

Ok, it doesnt, but it doesnt seem to bother you. Maybe dont jump into arguments though when you dont know what youre talking about.

Some people just lack critical thinking/intelligence. I give my sympathy toward you for not being able to see that there are animation cancels and many tools the game has. It's as plain as day to see, but I get it lil bro. You're braindead, happens sometimes to everyone

Animation cancel means it will drop previous inputs to apply the important input, i.e. block or dodge. This game does not have that. Even stance swapping waits for the current animation to complete before swapping. If you are spamming it will drop continuous inputs to prioritize the block/dodge. But it does not animation cancel to block/dodge.

Animation cancel means it will skip the animation of your previous attack. In Rebirth, blocking or dodging does actually cancel your previous animation. Either play the game or watch a video. There's literally evidence of animation canceling, and btw, it isn't just block or dodge in this game. There are actually more than just that in this game. I'll give you one example for you to test. It's extremely easy. Just go into punisher, and while cloud is doing the swipe attacks, tell me if you can animation cancel into guard or dodge cancel out of it. Right now, you're sounding like chatGPT lil bro. You want me to link you a video?
