the reason these rules are not generally broken is because it removes counterplay from a lot of situations. you can sit on top of a boss comboing forever and because there's no safe wakeup you just win. or the same happens to you. there's a new dodge roll that helps you out of these situations but-

it just resets you to mashing the basic attack. grappling exists but every option does lower damage than the basic attack. dash attacks and jump kicks serve to knock the enemy down so you can mash the basic attack on them. it's boring.
