Still looks like the wild and nonsensical flailing around that was the norm in chivalry. This isn't me, but this looks like the same trash that plagued chivalry and made everyone leave https://clips.twitch.tv/CalmEnthusiasticRedpandaWOOP

this looks like f*cking nonsense, throwing your head downward and throwing almost complete swings out only to feint at the last second when swing is touching his foot to set up another one. Is this game really any different than chivalry?

The feints normally look much better, I think there's just a problem of confusing polearm animations at the moment. What actually happens is he feints before the swijg goes, the axe going down the first time is actually feint recovery, he doesn't feint at the last second.

This was a case of a dude analyzing the animation incorrectly, what he said was just false.

As someone whose played a decent amount of both games, this game really doesn't play at all like chivalry, and the animation abuse in this game is significantly lower than in chivalry.

This is a problem with feint animations in the live build extending too far forward as well as some other factors making it look rough. Significant animation improvements have been made for feints and morph feints across the board for all weapons and will be included in the next patch.
