That they are. How annoying is that, by the way? This game would look so much cooler if the fight choreography didn't look so staged.
It's better to defeat two foes in a fight that looks slick and feels plausible an an exciting way than it is to defeat dozens when the artificialness of their waiting their turns sucks you out of all immersion and sense of wonder.
Yes, Tarantino, this applies equally to you. In fact, just stick to writing dialogue and avoid coming anywhere near choreography. Hire an expert and allow him to do his stuff.

In game terms, he almost has to be doing that. It sucks royally if the player declares that he wants to take the sword in both hands in preparation for his coup de grāce and stab downwards from a reversed grip only to be told that this required not one, but
two seperate Ready maneuevers and while he did this, his foe managed to recover from his Stun and stand up.
