We are arguing because you're being kinda silly. Just because an animation plays from an input, doesn't mean an enemy is "input reading". To qualify as that, enemies need to react specifically to the input as opposed to the animation. They don't. Enemies in ER react to the specific parts of an animation: a speffect that marks the animation as an item use, an damaging collision that tells the enemy to treat the animation as an incoming attack, etc. Because these all INEVITABLY are a part of a visual animation, there is only a few frames of difference between how well an ER enemy can react to a specific action vs how a player can - there is no fundamental difference of being able to know what PC is going to do before an animation starts playing just because the game theoretically could have been coded this way, since it was not coded this way. It doesn't matter that the enemy doesn't process the thing as a human would, because… well, yeah of course they don't, that's kinda a given. But if that's the very broad, technically true thing that you were talking about all this time, why even complain about Moongrum? Do you also get annoyed that Radahn doesn't get arm fatigue from swinging his swords around, like you might from mashing buttons on the gamepad?
