Can you actually flip off wall with the samurai in real game play or was that just part of the cutscene/trailer animation?

Could you link to what you're referencing to?
If it's the Viking, Samurai, Knight factions trailer, then they only did acrobatics on each other, which I would assume are moves you can do in game.

Did one flip off a wall? I must have missed that.

I think he might be looking at some old footage back when Orochi was Oni.

if you're talking about this video at 22 ish seconds? That animation I have seen in the multiplayer videos after Gamescom. If you're talking about-

where he plants a foot on one soldier, performs a front roll toward another, then stabs him. I have not seen this animation.

the only "flip" I've seen so far was the peacemaker in-

I hope that clears something up? Or at least gets us closer to what we're talking about.

That Oni minion kill roll move I actually did do once, I forget how, but I recognized it from that trailer and thought it was something that had been cut since I never saw it again, but it's there.

@Avarus
That's neat to know someone has seen it elsewhere. That video is the only time I had seen it thus far.

@Majin
No problem, man. That's what we're here for.
Your first video shows the Oni fighting a warden. The warden strikes and is PARRIED, meaning the Oni read the attack and countered it.
Without going super into detail about it, the Oni made an opening in his opponent to go on the offensive. He chose to use his throw which changes the position of him and his opponent (the warden) he moved him closer to the edge. The game has all sorts of environmental hazards like ledges, fires(if you watch of Knight Campaign video), and spikes (if you watch the Viking campaign video). These can be used to kill an opponent which in your video the Oni moves the warden off the ledge.

As for your second video, that's the Nobushi character kicking her opponent and I don't know anything about it yet other than she uses a naginata.
The peacemaker in the same video seems to do a backflip at some point and a spinning vault kick on an opponent. They could be in the game, no one knows yet.
