I just can't use two handed weapons at all

I don't know what it is, maybe the tracking or the controllers on the G2 aren't great but it feels like i'm holding a heavy flagpole. With a flag. Made out of iron mail.

I can't rotate it in my hands so most of the times i'm hitting people with the flat of the blades and even hitting feels weak.

I love throwing axes and knives tho

It takes a little practice, but once you get familiar with the hand orientation, they're actually a lot of fun.

The spear and bardiche are great to practice with, because when your hands get too close together, your weapon can get a little wonky. Using a pole arm will help you get used to sliding your hands into different positions as well as putting the edge of your weapon where you want it. Then you can grab a long sword or katana and the behavior will make a lot more sense. At least, it did for me.

Plus, there's something so satisfying about sweeping the leg with the bardiche and, in the same arc, lopping their head off as they fall to the ground.

I also use G2 and 2 hand weapons work fine for me.

Sounds sick, mind providing an example of such?
Also usig poleaxes are really hard since only one hand really rotates and moves the weapon for some reason

That's true, it's only one hand that controls the twist of the blade, but that's also fairly customizable in the Inputs menu. There are two input options to determine which hand twists the 2 handed weapon. First, you can say which hand is your dominant hand. Then, you can tell it to be the hand in the front of the weapon, the hand in the rear, or the hand you selected as your dominant hand. Tinker with these and see which fits your play style most - I tend to use the hand in front to determine the direction of the blade when I'm playing with spears and polearms, but prefer the dominant hand for swords, since I change grip and stance as I'm playing (NOT an easy thing to learn, but so much more immersive after you have!)

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to record my play through, so don't know how to show you. I've wanted to - I want to know, when I'm playing at 50% or 25% speed and take out 10 sith with my light saber if it looks as cool as it feels :) If you know how, I'd be happy to record a demo.

The leg sweep only works if the leg strike was going to kill the bad guy (I think), so the follow-up move isn't necessary, just fun. I'm sure you've seen some of the rag-doll mechanics that happen on a fatal hit vs. a standard hit.

Looking at pics, those G2 controllers do look a little awkward, though. I'm using the Oculus Rift, which is also a little awkward (the controllers are perfectly shaped for pistol games, not so much for sword games), but those look a bit more cumbersome.

Various videos of me playing with G2 controllers.
A lot of one hand, but some two hand.
