Devs testing a nerf of the parry | Forums

The devs are testing ways how to nerf the parry to counter the turtle meta on high level play. No details was really given on exactly how they are testing it.

My gut reaction is that there has to be another way of opening turtles up than changing how you can punish someone after a parry. I just hope they are very very careful when they are testing a change of a core element skill check. For me, the parry is something I enjoy using together with a punish when facing people that are spamming attacks. Spamming of attacks is also one of the most common complaints on mid range and lower levels of skill. It is very hard to find a middle ground here I guess.

100-% needed.


Parry is far too OP right now. Combos are essentially uselss against anyone who knows how to play.

If I had to guess they are going to remove guarenteed GB's off of parries. and make it so what you get off of a parry is dependent on what you parry.
The only other way they can really nerf parries is either making the window tighter or changing feint timings. both of which might be nice. but it would really just be a stop gap.
They should also really make parries take stamina. like. seriously.

are you like.... what, pre-programmed to call bringing up legitimate gameplay issues "crying"?

is there a word filter in your head?

do you think it somehow adds weight to the total non-points you raise?

i dont understand it.

I guess they could make the parry + GB counterable in the same way a normal GB is counterable.

I'm just worried they will make a change that is great for making high level play more fun, and in the same time make other skill ranges (where the majority of the player base is) less fun.

that sounds like a pretty solid idea, actually

i personally believe there's too much power loaded into guardbreaks for guardbreaks to be 100% guaranteed under most circumstances

so. after parry gets nerfed what is next in the list people start demanding for a nerf? deflects? superior blocks? dashes? the point here is that ppl will never stop complaining and demand for nerfs i just hope that the devs doesnt take the path of nerfing because soon we will fight with foam sticks. this has happened in many games i have played its a sad truth
