Haha a lot of the Kanata attacks are wrong as well you would never do a jumping spin for an aoe. There is a Ryu that does a leaping attack. Flashing steal is one that is a common cut. Spinning upper cut (Golden dragon) makes me laugh
The funniest thing, the most impractical weapon, titan weapons, which would be impossible to yield anyways, not to mention swinging something smaller would allow you to do more damage with such strength, at the very least the characters behave with some slight attention to the physics; they don't swing it cloud style and they just let the weapon carry them. But then I'm often left pondering, how the hell would a titan weapon/LR avoid anything when they couldn't change directions or anything when swinging such a collosal, impractical weapon? It's silly in a way, though not to say I didn't like titan weapons(fav weapon set actually, so much funny AoE).
I think the big issue with the melee weapons is theres to much time for an opponent to anticipate the moves from them though. And course, the fact that they all draw from the back, which I already posted a video made by someone who pointed out why it's a very, very bad idea.
