Combat changes?

So I’ve finished the game Twice and. When I try to do the runt fight for my buddy it appears you’ve felt the need to put him on par with a swordplay Jesus and allow him to glitch his arms in whatever way he needs to block ,push,kick,and attack even when you make sword contact with him.combos are unable to land on him because his arms actually GLITCH to whatever position they need to be, if he staggers he manages to kick. What the he’ll have you people done to ruin a seemingly perfect combat system if something no broken don’t try to fix it because in your case it actually breaks it. Also the game broke at a grindstone and you can’t leave the chair or operate the grindstone…another great change you’ve made. I’ve never had to fire arrows into runt until today. Congratulations on breaking your “revolutionary” combat system.

Absolutely nothing has changed with combat other than hardcore mode being added.
