Kind of unfair to compare anything to RDM. It was super duper flashy. SAM had an elegance to it though. Hard hitting and beautiful (that sounds a bit pretentious but whatever lol).

And the LB3 is... even more slashes.

Do we get a gap closer?
Do we stun our opponents with our hilt or with our sheaths?
What about an oGCD finisher that activates below 20% where you dash through the enemy to finish them off? (Samurai duel style)
If the AF is loosely based on Auron, what about something like his Shooting Star overdrive that would function as a knockback?

Not all of those being something I want to see, necessarily, but the point being that it would be something that's not JUST slashes. I don't necessarily need flashy, but I would like to see more variety.
All the melees get Leg Sweep as a stun now right so I imagine SAM does too. And they all have a gap closer so I'm sure they will as well.

I do hope they do have an Assassinate type ability.
