You are right but perception also plays a strong role. Add fluidity to the motions in such a way that it seems like your character is always moving and suddenly you will feel like combat is faster.

The previous motions were meant to be as reactive as possible when you pressed the key. Now they can add some stances, steps backward or forward when about to hit or to prepare a hit, weapon motions that are not exclusively aimed at hitting the mob etc.
