Is anyone else appalled by the amount of poise (in Dark Souls Terminology) that bosses possess? As in not flinching, at all. As much as I hate Wardens, they can be a fair fight because they flinch, at times. It is not possible to stun-lock (more DkST) them to death but the fact that they flinch makes them a fair fight. And look at certain bosses in the game, namely Nyteblade (during Nytafall), Maero and Tanya. These bastards have such high amounts of physical fortitude that nothing can make them flinch. Stomp, thousands of bullets in the face, energy sword... all ineffective when it comes to stunning. Then look at Cyrus, another a boss in the game. Use Fire Buff or Blast and you see him panicking because it's logical conclusion. When someone's on fire, they panick unless they're immune. Try it on Tanya or Maero, and they are only caught on fire, they don't panick not even for a little bit. Well, you might say they are programs how can they know panicking? Zin are programs, Cyrus is an incarnation that came from Kinzie's mind, the police are also security programs inside the simulation. How and why is it that they flinch and others don't?
Flinch, damn it!

What I can't accept is how so many other NPCs flinch and they don't. Only option is slice 'em with Energy Sword and reduce them to scraps of data.
