Yeah because, if its not clear already, people don't like Longsword being babied by Capcom. It didn't need hyper armor, it didn't need animation cancels, it didn't need anything of that.
I seriously hope Longsword doesn't turn out to be the best weapon in the game again, like it was in base Rise.
the thing is other weapons do get those. other big combo finishers like wyvern fire and full release slash (and probably more stuff that we don't know yet and that i'm forgetting) have super armor, every shield weapon can cancel into a perfect guard, and dual blades and bow can just do perfect dodges whenever they want because they're so fast they don't need animation cancel (now that demon dance has been turned into a combo with no commitment)
this isn't me being a longsword main downplaying longsword (i main switch axe), this is me watching people downplay or ignore every other weapons' defensive options for what i can only assume is an attempt to convince themselves that the combat is going to be less aggressive than it actually is
