What? I suppose we have extremely differing opinions on this, because as I see it the power-slide is one of my favorite additions. I know this playstyle isn't relevant to you, but it makes assault runs (no stealth, open combat) far less tedious. In fact, attempting a nonlethal assault run would be little more than a chore without this mechanic.

In the first game, I recall that the only way to pull off a good assault run (invariable lethal, of course) in-lieu of possesing real skill was to continually spam agility-jump drop assassinations, which was a terribly cheesy method.

Besides, for those not equipped with actual gaming skills, like myself, it's usually only viable as an opening attack on any given group of enemies.
