already know bout this ....the only side effect is it will destroy youre mouse with all that clicking unless its a high quality one
It is also possible to shield cancel the 2nd hit of a fast or medium sword into a switch-cancel and a slow sword combo for a potential 4hit combo
it's the most efficient way to finish most mobs that are charging an attack
edit: I just finished watching your video, I learned something new (the n+1 was interesting, but very risky). However, by simply moving after the first hit or two, you can reset the combo without having to have that period of vulnerability you demonstrated (this only goes for medium+ swords, since it's rather pointless for a slow sword).
