Gonna make a post for discussion and maybe even consistent implementation of the instant fight glitch

I don't understand how exactly this works, but it seems you can either spam the attack, or just hold it, while initiating the fight normally. And sometimes you just skip the initial sword clash animation entirely, attacking the guard before the screen even fully fades in. This could save like 1.5 seconds on every single fight in the run if made consistent??

Probably is the same glitch I found that allows you to break out of the clash allowing you to attack as they clash with nothing.
