this is actually the way to make me play a game sight unseen. tell me it’s like outer wilds. tell me that you can’t tell me.

DS2 hitboxes and attack timings are jank as hell sometimes. it’s entirely possible that it’s literally enemies starting up an attack animation, dealing damage frame 1, and then the animation ends early before they transition to the windup.

or at least that’s consistent with my experience.
