You missed PA thats all...

No idea why this happened. Stealth styles always penetrate BT.

maybe the target turned the last moment before getting PAed, so the frontal position was no longer given?...can't imagine this really is a bug, otherwise many more ppl would have been complaining about it

What confuses me is the message. From code this message appears only when BT absorbed the attack. Theres no other occurrence of that message.

another idea:

maybe he hit PA with the target being out of range...usually the "target not in range" message would come then, but maybe there is a little moment where this message has not come yet and instead the "style" is cancelled and an unstyled attack is performed? thus the attack is missed and no "style failed" or "target not in range"...

would be my only explanation

My guess is something made the PA fail which resulted in an unstyled hit to be performed.

Unless you can manage to get this message shown in a controlled setting we wont know for sure.

this msg drops if ur pa was fail cause of smth and ur unstyled hit is hitting the enemy in the bbl.

this is since yeahrs so here

shouldnt there be some message like "you try to perform PA but fail"? at least thats what my arms gets when failing a prereqed style for some reason...

Dont forget,there is little delay between pressing button and draw weapon(s) to execute style. Also there are some conditions checks for succesfull execution of style (your position vs target position,etc..)+ some micro lag (probably),so miss PA to bladeturn is possible in few cases.

it looks like the order in which the message is reported is wrong.

I can see that the PA missed and that you performed an un-styled swing with your left hand which burst the bubble. However, it should report the bladeturn before/after the left hand strike and not before the PA surely?

its probably been this way forever though.

If PA have missed and BT was removed by left hand, left hand should have done no damage.

But if the style failed due to bad positionnel, it should have displayed "You fail to perform your PA perfectly".
If the style failed due to out of range, it is displayed too, with out of range message.
Same for out of view.
So... surely a bug. A message bug or PA bug...

Something similiar happens to me frequently, possibly lag related.
For me, if I try to style too soon after sticking I perform an unstyled attack with no failed style message, it simple says "you swing and hit blaa blaa for x damage". Can happen with any style from my experience.
I don't always have it though, so I came to the conclusion that lag from my own connection or my opponents was giving me an incorrect distance from the target or some such.
