Right, but arguing that they aren't all clones of each other only acknowledges like the lowest possible hanging fruit of that argument, because I would understand the swordfighter argument to be largely motivated by similar thematics rather than people who genuinely believe they play the same; with the arguments of that latter contingent just being easiest to rebut, because of course they don't.Yes, but when your goal is to make a fighting game focused on swords, you HAVE to prove that swordfighters are not automatically clones of one another.
But to sum up the entire dissent under that position is at least mischaracterization and verges close to strawmanning.
