What is this "negate all damage" button? I've beat all the games and I guess I've missed that button every time.
There also is no QTE going on....
Dodging makes you invulnerable while you dodge and that turns every boss fight into a QTE: "Press dodge button now or die". Just because it doesn't state which button to press doesn't change the fact that it is a QTE.

I enjoy those games because of the challenge that is not to say a small percentage of people wont find a way to beat the game at level one but all games have that percentage of people that find ways to beat the game without leveling.
Because dodging makes you INVULNERABLE! Try beating the game with blocking only at level 1.
Fun little thought experiment: Everytime you dodge in a boss battle you say "Dodge" out loud and record it. Can you determine what boss you're fighting if you listen to the recordings afterwards or are all they all too similar?
