"Reasons Why?" (possible series)

spamming it get's you roll stabbed.
spamming anything is just basically asking your opponent to punish you.
gc, gcf.. whatever. all of it you can dodge.

twop on the other hand.. once someone uses that in a fight its basically telling me that my character needs to be gimped for you to win. at that point any kind of a rule or courtesy has been thrown out the window, never to be seen for as long as i remember your gtag/psn.

if we compare dark souls to any kind of fighting game, like mortal kombat, that's like taking away the players ability to dash and jump. was a horrible idea for pvp setup around arenas (which from knew existed).

i don't even care if they nerfed it, it's avoidable, and it's punishable.
it's like a boxer trying to setup matches vs a person in a wheel chair.

You want to get up close and flarglearrgggCMW a falchion into me? TwoP says you *should* reconsider your plan. Think you can roll punish a 1h whiffed weak attack from a BSS? WotG outright tells you that's folly. Think you yourself can stop me from roll punishing you with WotG? VoS demands you respect my ability to punish you hard.

What were once options are systematically taken away, until all thats left are a few meager safe options that because of their limited scope and predictability allow the miracle user to punish hard and often.
