Re: Having a small amount of trouble with combat
No, you hit the "X" button in a rhythmic fashion, like a beat. Don't change it. The change is that your sword trail will turn blue. And if you are going for "The Duellist" achievement, you don't actually have to hit an enemy. Just remember: press the button to an unchanging beat that corresponds to your sword hits. If the sword trail turns blue, you're doing good.
