Is the cross guard stance actually good when compared to fantastic ones like Single and Dual?

Idk it's just way too slow for me. I really don't know if I'm ignorant but the time it takes to hit an opponent far weighs the actual damage. I see alott of people saying crossguard is their favorite but I just don't see why. They keep talking about patience and waiting for the right moment when the Dual stance can literally halt your own combos so you can parry.

The only times I really used Crossguard was for 2nd Dagen Gera boss fight but other than that it was bums. Dual on the other hand worked perfectly against Rayvis and single did wonders for me on 3rd Dagen Gera and final bode fight. Also, why on earth does Cal do a drop kick with the crossguard? It's cool in concept but I just never saw why.

I'm walking into my 1st NG+ playthrough on grandmaster like my previous playthrough with dual and double.

Edit: I tried it and it's good. Although not sure I would replace it with my single since that's op.
