If we talking story-wise skills, he's doing a decent job. He's there with Ezio mid-way through AC2.

If we're talking game mechanics, it's shit. Ubi says they revamped the combat system. No, they didn't. They just brought it back to AC1/2. They took away kill streaks and force you to either throw a hail of attacks at the guy and the do a counter, only to continue throwing another hail of attacks, instead of allowing you to murder everyone after a single kill. The combat system got gimped in my opinion, and I saw a much better one in Shadow of Mordor recently.

But then again, that one was basically Arkham combat with swords, and had its own problems, since somehow slashing an orc 10 times didn't seem to kill him unless you did a finisher. Fighting with gimped swords there.
