I personally liked the 18/21 one the most, despite the rage-inducing tendency for my sword to glance on heavy armor if I was even a little off with my footwork.

Ahah, likewise. Although MW arabian doesn't glance too much - just gotta be careful with right swings.

There is no counter. The only thing a low agi char can do is block, and this doesn't require the hiltslasher to react at all, he can just continue. I wouldn't have a problem with hiltslash, if it was actually difficult to pull off. But it isn't. Which kind of negates your argument that it "raises the skill ceiling".

What you mean is, there is no counter for low agi LOW INT characters. I put you in the camp of people determined to make this game chess.

Hiltslash is not a 2h only thing. It works best with 2h, but it also works with 1h and pole.

Works as well with 2h and pole, your opponent needs to screw up a lot for it to work properly on 1h. Anyway, hiltslash isn't spam.

Of course not, it's an elite move that raises the skill ceiling. See, I've been properly educated by all the professional players telling me to go practice more, noob that I am.

BTW: I hate chess. Hiltslash is like a chess move, the agi ninja moves from b2 to a3 and defeats the str crutcher. Boring and predictable.

Spot on.
