Wow, thanks for the in-depth video comments. There's a lot of issues that I didn't notice before which I solved because of it.

I've seen the kick bug before, but thought it was just my controller being old (and probably a bootleg), turns out it was some outdated code that wasn't updated properly which only affected this one skill. As for the movement, I've snapped the direction to the 8 directions to avoid having it go into weird blends, but there was also an animation issue where the root motion of the diagonals wasn't updated to match the new magnitude of the other directions. There's still some jerkiness to changing directions, but it should feel a lot smoother with the new fix build. 

The stance regen delay was too high before (15s!), so the new build has lowered them down significantly. Some hitboxes have been enlarged, but I'll still need to do another pass at retiming hitboxes later on. Tracking on some moves has also been improved.

As for the deflect timings, delaying phase transitions to finish executions, and jumping up the rocks, these will probably take a lot more thought to solve, so it'll probably have to wait for the next big update.
