> Just Defend, isn't even as good as it used to be! It doesn't reduce blockstun anymore! Now the game wants you to use pushblock in tandem with a version of Just Defend that amounts to "do this before you wanna Guard Cancel" instead of a mechanic that facilitates an actual back and forth between players.
Gotta push back on this point a little.
In MotW, for all moves, blockstun and hitstun was the same. Only JD changed frame data by reducing blockstun.
In CotW, there already less blockstun than hitstun for all moves.
There is no need for JD to reduce blockstun when the game automatically does that for you when you merely block.
