Is this Windows we're talking about here?

Yeah, Windows, but again, I've never had a problem with V-Sync either, I toggle it on with every game.

Define this 'lag' of yours.
What is it?
Delay between button press and action?
Or something else?

FYI, due to the fundamental way V-Sync is supposed to work it will ALWAYS introduce a slight input lag, regardless if you notice it or not.
Maybe it's one of those games where you can notice it more.
Beware that V-Sync is NOT a "framerate limiter", it forces a specific behaviour of game engine, natural consequence is input lag (again, REGARDLESS if you notice it or not, it's there, it may be that you don't notice it a 100 times and you will notice it once, but it's ALWAYS there).
If you merely want to cap framerate - disable V-Sync and use external software for it.
Like RIVA Tuner or Nvidia Inspector (these are just examples, there's more).

The screen randomly freezes for a second or two during combat, framerate drops to 0, then the gameplay instantly rubberbands. I.E. Freezes during air combo, suddenly appear on the ground.

FULL 2 seconds of freeze ?!
This is usually called 'stuttering' and not 'lag'.
You should have defined your problem more in-depth in your OP post, you would get any help faster...

Are you playing it with Mouse+KB or controller?

What Ryzen 5? You know there's a difference between 1600,2600,3600,5600 and 7600.
What RAM? Ryzen likes fast RAM.

I don't think it's even *relevant* what frequency their RAM runs at in this case.
They seem to have HEAVY stuttering despite having fairly decent PC.
So it's an 'issue' but I don't think it's 'max performance' one.
This isn't an AAA resources hog game.
Under normal circumstances their PC shouldn't stutter THAT hard.

You seem to either be AFK or busy with RL stuff.
I'm still going to preemptively send this before you show up.

OK, so tell me this:
- what version of Windows
- what wattage of PSU
- did you downcore (reduce number of usable cores, through a setting in UEFI)
- did you disable SMT (it's enabled by default so unless you went to UEFI and disabled it it just should be enabled by default)
- is the game on SSD
- is the system on SSD
- is the RAM running in dual channel or single channel
- did you overclock anything (RAM, CPU, even the monitor, ANYTHING)
- did you change bclk
- what power profile are you using
- do you utilise CPU boost, or do you cap max framerate on max stock
- did you make sure Windows isn't doing any maintenance tasks during gameplay (not that uncommon since Windows 10 was released )
- do you have any PCI power savings features enabled ?
- did you try playing it in offline mode (cue Windows could perhaps try to update or at least download those during your gameplay, not a rare thing to happen)

Plus, how is it that you didn't ask the question on the Steam account you own the game on?
