TK Dodge RE (Shorter Step Dodge)

I've always found Dodge mods to be very OP, especially when using mods that make combat slower/more deliberate, such as Valravn, AMMCO, Directional combat; the same could be said about timed block and parrying mods. You can easily just escape by pressing a hotkey, making these combat mods pretty much useless.

Since Precision came out, I've really wanted to have a simple "side step" mechanic, similar to the amazing (but arguably dated) mod, Engarde, which allowed you to essentially duck under sword swings like a true warrior.

I haven't been able to convert that ducking animation into its own mod, but at least I was able to reduce the distance travelled by TK Dodge's Step dodge, enough that it looks like a proper, short side step instead of a full-on dodge.

Here's a snippet of how it looks like in combat:

You might've noticed some cool attacks by the NPCs; those are from Dtry's awesome upcoming mod, Valor, which allows NPCs to dodge, do perilous attacks (like in Sekiro) and even do perilous bashes. I personally cannot play without this mod anymore, and with nerfed side stepping, you can now have the meticulous, HEMA-esque combat you've always wanted.
