Ravidrath - I ended up revisiting the backer demo earlier today, mostly just doing weird challenge runs like only using certain directional attacks (like all up attacks etc.) and it got me wondering, do you guys have any plans for implementing alternate "reactive" actions that can occur during the enemy's turn? I don't imagine it would be a universal thing, but perhaps more defensive characters could carve out their role by having one or two alternate actions beyond timing a perfect block.
So, for example, pressing Qadira's button would result in the standard damage-mitigating block, but pressing up would change it to an ally-defending block (for those situations where another character can't even afford to eat chip damage), or pressing down could turn it into a shield swipe that could reflect projectiles or interrupt melee attacks if timed perfectly. I'm not sure if this would toe the line as far as overcomplicating things goes, but it seems like it could be a neat way for a few characters to distinguish themselves defensively in the moment-to-moment, without having to spend a few bars of Iddhi or rely on raw, passive defensive stats.
