Will try to elaborate later, currently raiding and just poked my head in.

But someone who can recognize the specificity of every attack is likely god modding in the first place and not someone you really want to roleplay with, no? I mean, sure a master of swordsmanship might pick your attacks part but not everyone should be able to if they don't know the motions or the intent of a particular style they shouldn't immediately know what's about to occur and be able to defend against it perfectly, at least not without practice or foreknowledge.

Besides, you can apply the same advantage of Kidou as a disadvantage. It needs no specificity for where its aimed at, but in kind you don't need much to dodge it either, most spells that aren't extremely elaborate (which have their own weaknesses) are fire-and-forget and can be dodged with a simple step to the left.
