Why does JJ have no stamina drain when you parry his heavies? | Forums

Surely that goes against the whole notion that you want this game to be consistent? When you parry his heavies, it should drain stamina like the rest of the cast.

I think freeze actually went over this in one of his videos.

The attacks that JJ throws are considered zone attacks and I think they lack a parry multiplier on stamina. This keeps one heavy parry causing OOS.

Hito heavy or charged heavy follows this rule as well. Not because of zone property but it keeps one parry from putting them out of stamina.

It is consistent. JJs heavies are treated as zones so they don't encur extra stamina cost. Same with charged attacks.

I think the fact that the JJ's heavies cost 60 stamina each is punishing enough lol. 2 heavies and you have to go into Sifu's Poise. Beside, I think Stamina regeneration is his whole thing anyways so maybe it makes sense that he doesn't lose any when being parried. His character description says "Stamina Regenerator".
