Malzeno is a great fight on Charge Blade. You can respond with an SAED for almost all of its attacks. However, it's worth noting that SAEDs in the start of the fight have more risk, as you aren't likely to get a stagger to make you safe. As shown in this run, Malzeno can punish SAEDs because of this. As the fight progresses, SAEDs become much more safe as you build up partbreak and stagger damage.
This run was very close to sub 4 ... if I didn't fumble a few times near the beginning of the fight, things would have turned out better. Still, I'm satisfied with how I played. Grinding to shave those few seconds would probably take me a while, and I don't think it's worth it with the Title Update powercreep coming up.
