Now I might eat a lot of down votes for this, but I think the blue hitbox is a really creative solution and I really like it. Everyone's talking about it's a nerf that'll make hanami unplayable but you're looking at it from the wrong window

Think of it like this, this gimmick's existence will lead to her getting other buffs and making her stronger as long as you don't whiff and get punished

And even then, I don't think they'll make the damage 1:1, she'll problaly take a lot less damage from blue hurt boxes and will likely be changed to take no knock back from them. If these both happen I think it'd be a cool balancing desicion and they'd be able to buff her in other ways without it being necessarily unfair.

Bro has the poise/bleed + slash/pride build of the blade lineage

A special status inflicted/gained by clashable guard or skill 3 from heishou (bonus points since it also makes him reuse coin)

And the unique gimmick to be in a duel with a specific enemy and gain buffs, from cinq

Bro truly is a mashup, and unlike some people think he's actually pretty good, especially in blade lineage teams.

Am I genuinely the only who enjoyed the battle? I loved the gimmicks on both waves 1 and 3, I loved the little puzzle on wave 2, I loved the sick clashing and attack animations and I ESPECIALLY loved the sick ass transition cutscenes. Love his final attack he does near the end of wave 3 in particular, it looks so pretty. I just wish he had his own theme for this one, but oh well.

I don't find the battle to hard, I find it relatively easily and actually quite enjoyable to fight; yet I keep seeing everyone raging and spitting hate at the abno.
