Omg how can you compare a kick in ninja clothing with a stabbing attack with a 3m long pike around a corner wearing heavy armor...

Because that kick is a hell of a lot harder to pull off and requires vastly more training than what we're talking about but is still realistically possible to perform.
Remember something important. This isn't you personally slapping on some armor and picking up a sword then rushing off to battle.
The game isn't based off your athletic ability or lack thereof. Maybe that is partly the reason why you think it impossible to turn while stabbing or attacking from overhead.
We're playing with characters who have trained the majority of their lives to fight with the weapons they carry and are proficient with.
Remember those skills "weapon mastery" you put points into?
Remember that "Age" that pops up every time you level up?
Are you telling me it's completely unrealistic for someone who has mastered certain weapon styles, for their entire life, to be able to attack horizontally while turning?
Is that what you're trying to tell me?
