hmmm, havent played the game to get a feel for myself, but do you think part of the issue might simply be that barb is kind of a huge character? It wouldnt be easy to communicate the guy avoiding attacks when his body is so massive that it doesn't really get out of the way during dodges. - ThreadSky

So that's an aspect that I actually don't have to worry about. In its current interstation, if the enemies sword overlaps with your body it counts as a hit. So when you dodge you can actually see that the sword missed you, and that part feels pretty good. The problem is figuring out when you-

need to dodge and what direction to dodge in to get it work. And that aspect needs to be better communicated by me to the player so they aren't left fumbling in the dark.

okay, that does make sense

A game like armored core 6 has both a very huge characters with no i-frames, but in that game you get those really big dashes and jumps to get all that bulk out of the way in a moment.

And yeah you're right, making the dashes really big would be an option to tone down the precision and difficulty, but i think I'd like to try and other alternatives while keeping this as a backup
