What happens if you don't meet stat requirements for a weapon?

[BaconBankai]

So i just got the Bewitched Alonne Sword gave it +4. i was invaded while testing it and killed the guy even though i didn't meet the strength requirement. I looked at the stats for the weapon and its not showing any negatives. With other things i didn't meet the stat requirements i got negative stats but not this weapon for some reason.

Kinda confused as to why my sword doesn't seem to have any negative affects.

If you don't meet the requirements on a Dex weapon you require when you hit something. If you don't meet the STR requirement your swinging is clumbsy.

Two-handing a weapon lowers the STR requirement by 50%.

You were two handing it I presume?

This was the case in DkS1 and I think it no longer applies to DkS2, you swing your weapon normally you just do way less damage.
