I like Consort Radahn, but wtf those hurt-boxes?!?

So this isn't ragging on Radahn or anything per se, cause I think that the fight is great, apart from the occasional white-out, but, for real, can we talk about the hurt-boxes on those swords? The model is swinging at me and the hurt-box is extending like 8 feet out beyond the tips of the blades. I mean, why even have a rendered model to which we are supposed to react, if the actual model is like twice as wide? The coding on this aspect of the fight reminds me of the demon prince fight in Ringed City, where the model would grab you mid-roll, even if you were like 3 metres outside of the grab's visual tell.

If this is the new direction that Fromsoft is going, then that's fine, but I say go all out - put invisible kill-squares in the boss arenas so that we have to memorize which patches of ground are insta-death while learning the boss; maybe the bosses could have shadow bosses that fight alongside them (a la Pontiff), but totally invisible.

frankly the second phase is the real issue
the near unending assault is annoying as hell

[Justaprank]

Personally, I'm fine with the aggressiveness in phase 2. There's a lot of dashing to strafe the 4-hit charges, but as long as you roll into him there's a ton of safe-ish punishes and ways to low profile after a hit. I just don't like the fact that his hurt-boxes don't match his model, because it feels fake difficult - if a square on the map has damage there should be an audio or visual tell (allimsayin).

This boss is like Artorias but bad.

How is it any different from maliketh, Godfrey, or that general dude from castle sol?

Maliketh is an annoying glass cannon that doesn't have a million HP, Godfrey gives you reasonable attack windows, and the dude from castle sol is bad but doesn't have a trillion after-image seizure-inducing AOE one-shots.
