>by putting your weapon away
you mean, holstering it?
I tried keeping my sword down and trying to move my arms like in B&S but didn't notice any difference 

now, the combat itself isn't that bad, rather, there's some good in there, but it's basically a shittier B&S, the physics kinda shit the bed when you try funky stuff with two weapons at the same time and sometimes the enemies' blades go right through yours when you try to parry them (and when you CAN, because the weird ass ninja moves they pull every now and then makes it really hard, to say the least)
and if you also simply ignore all the overcomplicated and retarded additions like the weapon durability, or the dodge system, or the fact that enemies wield 2m weapons, making it very awkward for you to stay out of their range 

but if you tell me japs made it, then I understand how it all happened and why the game ended up this way
