    Vortinger top parry counter lagged against Orochi Top unbreakable ?

    So ive been testing in training parrying the attacks of orochi. Been at this for 40 min, I parry easily all of the heavies with a normal parry and parry counter( with light attack) both his side heavies but I simply cannot do it for the top unblockable. I have tried every timing possible over 30 times and not once has it succeeded. When I parry normally with a heavy I get it everysingle time, but with the exact same timing I cannot so the parry counter on the unblockable. Even if I was just bad( which I am not since I am very experienced and pretty good at the game) at least once out of the 30 tried I would have landed that parry counter. But no, no matter the timing it simply never do it.

    Can any of you tell me of they are experiencing the same thing ? Or I am just doing an awfull job ?

    Unblockables can't be countered by superior block. Black Prior lights work by superior block mechanic: if someone hits that side of the guard, that attack is superior blocked, and the Black Prior continues the light which becomes unblockable. However, superior block is still a block mechanic, so it loses against unblockables.

    I assume you are referring to Tenebris Thrust? The dodge forward top heavy attack? Even so it is the same as what Goat mentioned above. The special property of that attack is called superior block and does not work against unblockables.
