I don't understand why the people complain about the Janissaries being more difficult than the Papal Guards. That's the point! They are meant to be difficult:
-Papal Guards are adults who got enlisted to be guards for the Pope. Janissaries were trained since 13 to be warriors. There is a difference between an adult man who recently enlisted and a person who has been trained as a warrior their entire life.
-There is also the factor that Ezio, formidable and skilled warrior he is, even he is not immune to the ravages of time, that is why in Revelations, the combat has a slower pace, instead of the more frenetical rhythm that Brotherhood has.
