Why was it so strong?

Zhang Yi looked at the Samurai General before him and felt utterly miserable.

But in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, this had gone a step further!

With no Stamina Bar, it was practically telling you outright: why aren't you going for Greedy Attacks?

There was no Stamina Bar, so run all you wanted and slash all
