This is true. It's all true. Everything said here to one extent or another is totally true. I remember when Whiff cancel was one of the biggest mechanics in the game. Free cancel supplanted it, and my goodness, it's been better for it. Though, two goons throwing everything and the kitchen sink at one another with 4 whiff cancels, was actually pretty fun ngl. But like, for actual serious play, whiff cancel was prolly the most annoying and dumb thing. An option to make it cost less would be fun to re-create the stupid crap we used to do back in the day though lmao.
