After reading more of Robby’s blog, and reading the bugs that are affecting CSI in the new Havok 4 I discovered….
I know why I suddenly suck. I suddenly suck because of, and this is very important, KICKS.
I’m used to trading some damage for distance, particularly when I counter slash a kick.
My style, I just realized, is built around it.
Of course, this isn’t an excuse not to adjust. It’s just something I wasn’t really thinking about. I was getting very perplexed with why my fighting style, which functioned well a few weeks ago, suddenly died like a fish out of water.
Of course, some styles are more kick happy than others. I guess in the interim of not having kick push on, I’ll just have to work with the new system, and get better at timing and countering.
Enough whining.

Fortunately, as you already know, Linden Lab thinks that they have a fix that can restore kick functionality to C:SI
I have noticed something similar, by the way. I never realized just *how much* I utilized kick until it was broken.
yes, the kick is an important function in my sparring. The fact that if you are not in the block and the kick does a push, gives me two things to think about.
1. I know that I did more damage to you in an unblocked kick vs a blocked kick
2. I have pushed you away to avoid the counter.
I miss the good ol days.
