Wait, DarkJinouga:

-That longsword mechanic with the increasing depletion rate was present in P3rd

-The SA has ALWAYS had an attak to fluidy transform into sword mode mid combo, you just do a forward+triangle followed by a tap of the R button

-I don't think there's anything different at all about the HH mechanics from P3rd.
