OK so just played the demo:

you get to watch the intro! which I wont spoil but I thought it was pretty cool!

I am trying out Long Sword Alchemy here are the changes I noticed:

- If you mash X it will do the basic combo automatically (overhead slash x 2 + poke)

- A button does the side hop slash, pressing it again pokes and then repeats, you cannot do a back slash in alchemy style.

- pressing X+A does nothing.

- you lose the fade in slash (R after a hop slash)

- you cannot add in X moves in the middle of a spirit combo.
