Full song from last night 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Just for contexts I'm at the end of Chapter 4 and have completed all optional and required bosses...just paused last night after completing the Purple Cloud Mountain area and I think taking a pause is well deserved because I was getting incredibly frustrated with both the Scorpionlord and Duskveil. Also I'm a longtime player of Souls/like so not my first rodeo haha.

The frustration that had me just titled to the max is my charged heavy attacks absolutely refusing to connect with these two specific bosses...there's been a couple other instances (Yin Tiger definitely comes to mind) where again it just feels like your charged heavy absolutely refuses to connect with the proper pixels to count for damage...but holy hell this was absolutely infuriating me last night...for reference I'm focusing more on using the proper opportunities to run and put distance while charging Smash Stance heavy and then going in for a fully charged heavy (when viable of course). For both these bosses it just felt like over 50% of the time my smash would land right smack in-between their legs and not count for any damage...and then of course the obligatory times when the boss would juke out of the way which whatever that's just the mechanics, right? This same issue also applies while utilizing Cloud Step. The absolutely most frustrating and consistent example I can give is when Duskveil does his faceplant mechanic and ends up laying on the ground helpless for a few seconds...again over 50% of the time I would be charged and go in for a full smash and the attack would just refuse to connect with the boss 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻

Anyways I'm enjoying the game overall. Yes there have been a few other *cheap* feeling moments but in general it's pretty fun. Anyone having/had some of these same frustrating moments with the hit mechanics? I ended up switching to dancing between Duskveil's legs doing light/heavy combos and eventually got the kill...but even then there was just so many times when you'd go in for the hits and would end up just swatting the air between his legs 🙈
