Seems like people have a short memory when it comes to flinch and why everyone hated it - half-swinging off of flinch was way worse than knockback.
I didn't imply half-swing was fully out of the picture, however it is trickier to predictably perform and that is only a half-merit. When we had flinch, make no mistake, it was only a matter of holding LMB at the right time - a fairly loose timewindow - to succeed a half-swing.As opposed to half-swinging off of deflect?
noRemember when MB2 had saber locks? Good times.
