On the implementation of Style Enhancement, Guard Reload, and simplified controls

Suggestion

I’d like the Guard of the Style Boost, but I can’t get used to the flick input that matches enemy attacks with the Guard Reload heavy weapons or the long-press guard on the Lance, so I end up not using it at all. I’d like a new crafting skill that’s an upgraded version of the Load Defense skill, which would simplify the controls so that instead of flicking, you just hold down the attack button to guard, and when it succeeds, you can fully reload Dragon’s Roar or the boosted bowgun ammo.

Current Status

I want to use the Style Boost for Guard on weapons like the Mithru Heavy or the Dino Heavy, but the Guard Reload style requires specific input techniques that I can’t quite master, so I’m using the normal style instead.

Let’s practice holding and flicking up/down. This is a common control requirement in other weapon types too.

Wanting to make things easier with a higher-tier version of an existing skill, without even using style-specific actions, is quite a luxury.

Practice makes perfect.
