Since not everyone has Trimay's Character Codex:

Weave:
- Upon using an attack with this toggle enabled, cancel a portion of the recovery into weave, which gives you options similar to when using Cover or EX Weave. Weave forces an attack however, and disables blocking/dodging (with the exception of EX Weave)

- EX Weave and Cover do not share the same weaknesses as Weave


Corkscrew:
- If close enough to the rose SPECIFICALLY from Parting Gift with the Corkscrew toggle enabled, Ruffian will perform a multi-hit attack that makes both players actionable before the final hit if blocked, allowing Ruffian to put the opponent into an OSC (one-sided coin) interaction (an OSC is a forced interaction where one specific action leaves the person in advantage safe, and there's nothing the opponent can really do about that option.)

- Using Corkscrew will make the rose despawn.


Counterplay:
- Despite various changes, Ruffian still struggles against projectiles if Rolling Thunder, EX Machine Gun Blow, or Drivethrough don't hit, and heavily struggles against characters who have a good poke (ie: something akin to VANILLA Cowboy's Horizontal Slash).

- Ruffian, while being phenomenal at keeping up a blockstring, lacks a solid conversion into said blockstrings without Weave stance.

- Ruffian is weakest if not perfectly horizontal to the opponent, and his strong vertical tools are either extremely telegraphed, cost meter, are punishable on block (even without parrying), or a mixture of those weaknesses. This isn't to say he cries if the opponent jumps, but it's better than dealing with him when facing him directly horizontally
