My main problem with the game is that they locked animation cancelling to one of the 5 stances.

This means you are locked into Cal’s flashy spinning attack animations while your opponent decides to do a quick attack that comes out faster than your recovery.

It makes the game feel extremely jank when you take into account that they also gave almost every single enemy those red unlockable attacks AND that the dodge roll is gone in favor of the most useless side step I’ve ever seen.

So, it feels like you are piloting a tank rather than an agile Jedi with inhumane reflexes, something the first game didn’t struggle with at all.
