I’ve been playing my for like 20 years, I’m fine with the anticipation part in general it’s just stupid for parrying. The time spent waiting for an attack you know is coming is better spent setting yourself up elsewhere as opposed to risking winding up a slow parry. Obviously weapons like longsword were built with that in mind so that’s different as it’s part of the intended play style.
Perfect block is fine since it’s quick enough that it works as it should, but there are a number of weapons that have extremely slow parrys.
