[Poll] On the Upward Attack Animation Change

[GetNerfedOn]

As always, feel free to discuss and vote!

(Since i can't gauge reasons for satisfaction per animation on a five question limit poll, i'll stick to something broader.)

For comparative purposes, here's a post by @Instant-Noodles comparing the animations:

i'm kinda sad that they chose to entirely scrap the beta animation, i liked 'em a lot since it made your character actually hit above waist-level and not weirdly at their feet when attacking upwards. with a bit more polish it'd been great, oh well

Different weapons could have different animations

The horizontal animation looked especially great on the brightshade sword. 

The animation is already made, seems a pity to let it go to waste.

I actually liked the "horizontal" animation because it looks good with swords and makes animation cancelling easier
+ It makes sense to me

I wish they allowed us to toggle it, because why not?

Fencing sword repost capability aside, ghe anim would have given the spear knockback capabilities. Had they continued in that vein of development I assume we would have had special abilities for each weapon. I still long to see that in some capacity, tho we are coming close with the Shadow Reaper's ability
