Noticed a lack of them during the beta.

I didn't even notice them during the Beta. They seem to be pretty cool, though.

There was a thread about this "saber" lock system a while back. SSM got rid of this feature though. I don't quite remember the reason but I do remember them saying wasn't working as intended.

^Ah I see. Yeah I'd assume the lag would completely destroy it.
A shame, it seems like such a cool feature.

And a much needed one because from the beta swords have priority over hammers. This type of feature would eliminate that.

Wished this was in the beta, I had times when I know i hit my opponent first with a heavy attack the split second before theirs did and we both end up on our backs. This could have solved that problem.

Exactly. I hated that. Since they charged their L1+Triangle, theres would also hit almost every time. Didn't make sense.

I Agree, There Has To Be A "Tug And Pull" Mechanic To Balance Out The Kinks In The Combat Aspect .

A Combat Button/s Prompt Would Add Depth, While Also Fixing The Accuracy Of The Attack Functions .

But I Think SSM Has Something Similar To This In The Final MP, They Just Had To Fine-Tune It During .

Yeah, I remember one of the ppl on the Dev team saying in a thread that they felt this would "slow down" combat a bit too much so they removed it. It's unfortunate... would've liked to see this feature included.
