I think they should give spears an alternate "weapon mode" that is an overhead stab. That way ppl can use the overhead stab, but they can't spam and feint between lower and over stab. The player would have to change their grip first.

They could add alternate Overarm technique, like in this:
Both would be stabs so still downblock but you either get shorter range and more damage or longer range and lower damage
Don't know about the realism of it, I think the guy in the video kind of guesses a lot.

It was implemented in With Fire and Sword and we all know how broken overhead stabs are.
Besides, crpg doesn't really need anything to add to the stab craze that is already there.
