Attack Recovery Overhaul (outdated)

I am of the opinion that the player in Elden Ring has too much attack commitment given the fast, aggressive boss design, creating a poor balance between attacking and dodging. Attack Recovery Overhaul's vision is to enable the player to force many new openings by allowing all melee attacks to be cancelled into dodge significantly earlier than before, among other changes. Rather than waiting for a more punishable attack to occur because you lack the frames to go on the offensive, you will have more chances to weave your own attacks in between those of the enemies you face.

This mod will change the way you view encounters in Elden Ring. You can really see the difference during the Morgott fights showcased at 1:00 of the video for this mod. I am able to fit in tons of extra attacks that would have been blatantly impossible (without getting hit) in vanilla Elden Ring:

Note About Difficulty

Although this mod makes the game feel smoother and more responsive, it inarguably makes the player more powerful. Playing well would enable you to hit enemies more while not getting hit yourself than vanilla allows. You may want to consider using some other mod that increases difficulty.

WEAPONS AFFECTED:

-Twinblades

-Straight Swords

-Curved Swords

-Greatswords

-Colossal Greatswords

-Curved Greatswords

If there is interest, the remaining melee weapons will be included in a future update.

-Dodge cancel window of all attacks for included weapons begins earlier. This includes all light attacks, heavy attacks, running attacks, dodge/crouch attacks, and jump attacks for 1h, 2h, and powerstance. The new dodge windows were chosen with care and (hopefully) do not sacrifice the natural looking recovery animation of attacks.

-Dodge cancel window of all guard counters has been drastically shifted up to make it more possible to safely using it during enemy combos.

-Two handing any of the included weapons enables attacks to cancel into block much earlier, 2-4 frames after the new dodge window (2 for light weapons, 3 for medium, 4 for heavy).
