Nagoriyuki PSA: His slash command normals degen ~80-90% less Blood Gauge when they are blocked, despite the blood absorb VFX not changing to reflect the decrease.

I just now realized that when you hit an enemy that is blocking with Nago's sword, the Blood Gauge degen is cut by like ~80-90%. The blood absorb vfx is exactly the same whether it is blocked or not, but there's a massive difference between the two. I guess once you know that's how it works then it doesn't matter, but I don't think it's ever really made very clear.

It says his sword command normals reduce/restore when they LAND, but they don't even use the terms reduce/restore consistently in the Slash command normal descriptions, so it's reasonable to assume that on Block a hit LANDS, because it doesn't WHIFF, which is what I had assumed to be the dichotomy they were referring to.

Anyways, I guess this is more of a PSA than anything else but I figured I should share this for people that don't know or are confused, because the difference is really hard to see especially in the middle of a match.
