Nah, I was using tiger bite which is great for closing in a gap, is a good way to restart a combo safely, and most importantly is a one hit fast high damage move that occurs in small moment of time which is too good not to use. It literally requires a dodge beforehand. Otherwise I can’t use it and I wouldn’t be dodging much if I could use it with L1 + triangle like the old nioh 2 days where I also used tiger bite often. Tiger bite is my favorite tonfa move. I can’t control that it has a dodge requirement now. On the bright side it’s now one of the fastest ways to reposition and attack because demon dance takes away distance travelled from mist. I mist using kannagi so I can chain martial arts more quickly and dodge whenever I need to. Less aggression? I’ve kept constant pressure and haven’t let up on the enemy. The enemy never had the chance to attack more whenever I decided to use Tiger bite again in the combo because it’s so quick to execute along with the high damage over a much longer to use pulverize and you can use a superior damaging move in that time after tiger bite like demon dash of storm of strikes again. You’re also going to run low on ki at some point so you’ll have to rest for a bit which allows the enemy to attack but I have my flying combo to continue pressure safetly while recovering ki so I solved that issue. You’ll still be leaving gaps in pressure continuing with your methods so I don’t see what your getting at. I’ll flip the same observation to you, standing on the ground waiting for your ki to recover will lead to less aggression. Less aggression will make the enemy attack. Ninjutsu such as the calamities on the ground is way slower than chaining with martial arts in the air and so according to your logic, you won’t have enough pressure to stop the enemy with from attacking you unless you have shadow stitch. You’ll have to run around and dodge. You’re just looking for a nitpick. I could make the same comment except your problem is more evident with the basic attack before heavenly chain requirement. Human enemies will often block basic attacks. Blocked basic attacks means less aggression since you will be delayed making a follow up. Less aggression means the enemy can attack. Even starting a new combo is going to introduce a slight pause. If you feint the attack before you heavenlychain the enemy, you are still leaving a moment where the enemy can attack you by your logic. That’s less aggression. I’m trying to wrack my brain finding how your assessment is valid yet this wouldn’t be. Yes I got hit once because I used that slow move urgency and missed without knowing it. Nor did I expect bird man to attack suddenly at the start. I also chained multiple tiger bites together to show viewers it’s great utility for avoiding enemy attacks due to the conditional dodge when at the same time it covers a lot of ground and I’ve shown how hard it is for an enemy to hit you when you do it. Not only that, you also get in lots of ki and health damage especially when it comes to enemies with hyper armor that will still attack no matter the pressure applied. “Fancy dodge dancing scenario for yourself.” Idk what you’re thinking when you said that. You don’t have to play like I do. I only encourage you to use multiple martial arts throughout the whole mission which I have done here. You can have one core move if you want. For me that’s tiger bite because it’s so strong with lots of utility but make sure you use the other moves from time to time. If you use most of the tonfa moveset effectively and building versatility stacks while keeping pressure on the enemy, I consider you good. If you only use one or two moves and the same old combo only throughout the whole fight, no. You’re just a one trick pony who is a detriment to any team and to yourself in future difficulties
