I'm so disappointed that they didn't decide to make it a feature. After we found out certain attacks in dks2 could be backstep/roll canceled, many str weapons finally became viable (lost sinners sword, Giant stone axe, etc.) and the game got hella tactical. For some reason though, Fromsoft decided it was an unneeded feature.

Ehh, it strikes me as a move to make the game tactical in the sense of "if you press that swing button, you're fvcking committing." Which wouldn't be bad, per se, if poise wasn't disabled turning it into a speed-swinging shitfest.
