Those seem to be the major reasons for my lower parses. Beyond that, some weaving mistakes. Probaly a few instances I got disrupted from my rotation for one reason or another.

Also it's knocking off points for me using LB3. The logs are severely knocking my performance down for a few issues that didn't affect how well I actually performed in the fight overall. I really just don't care. A few rotational issues aside, I didn't die, didn't fail any mechanics, and the boss died quickly. I don't have the energy to care about anything beyond that. I just don't care. I've never cared so little about anything in my entire life.
Meikyo Shisui would be useful if you knew an invuln phase was coming up quicker than you could get through the entire combo so you could get to your stronger attacks faster.

Hagakure would be useful if you weren't stacked on kenki during an above invuln phase but had a few sen. Useful I would imagine if your group's buff window was going to come up when the invuln phase was finished so that you could go into your stronger attacks during the buff window, especially if you had intentionally used more of the resource right before the invuln phase knowing you would be able to use Hagakure at least 3 times during the invuln phase.

And that's just random thinking from someone who's never touched Samurai so take what I said with a grain of salt.

As for LB3 fussing, like with all tools, it has it's weaknesses and limitations. Another instance where it's not perfect is if you have to use a low potancy skill or not attack due to mechanics, it will fuss no matter which option you pick. It's why the analyzer does put the stuff in timeline so you can get a feel for where in a fight something happened so you can look at it and figure out if it's something for you to work on or a limitation of the tool.
