Parry chads we eating good

Why is a good, hard puzzle so much more satisfying difficulty than 'press button for invincibility frames'?

i-frame dodge and parry are the same thing.

I like a good mix of both

Correct. A real hero doesn’t do blocks; he dances out of trouble!

we eating good

How so? Anything new coming out that is parry focused?

Poisetanking > Deflect > Dodge > Dark Souls parry where you do it one or three times with the shitty timing and do a riposte.
My favorite in souls is Sword ‘n Shield block and position.

Is this game good?

It really boils down to that

Run like a bitch

vs

Stand your ground and stop the enemy assaulting you

There's also common sense, for example you should be able to block a train slamming into you and supposed to dodge it. But when the dodge is a default move vs every attack in the game, the game turns into some cuck humiliation simulator. Which says things about all those faggots proud about exclusively using dodge mechanic in from software games.

I press and hold block when game starts and don't let go until it ends

YOOOOOOOOOO THIS GAMEPLAY FIREEEEE FRFR

parryfags are still avoiding damage like bitches
t. tank gang

Literally the Two Dragons Sword from Lies of P. Its charge attack is a parry with an immediate riposte if you land the timing.

I do it anyway because I'm not a pussy. Besides the amount you heal them is less than 10% of the damage you deal anyway

posts a boss you could parryCHAD but choses to virginROLL instead

Imagine relying on convenient invincibility that lets you phase through shit and nullify damage.
Imagine being a masochist who lets the enemy beat them up.
How about you try moving out of the way of the attack.

Parry is highly unreliable in ER because you don't know what you can and can't parry until you trial and error each separate enemy and eat a lot of shit in process when it turns out that the parry is not an option for that move.
Same as with those jump or crouch hit boxes that some people jack off to, they're completely arbitrary, there are no ingame indication of them being an option, and trying to use them when not appropriate is punishable by eating shit.
The only reliable defence mechanics which are guaranteed to not be arbitrarily obsolete are roll and greatshield.

i'm happy for you. Or sorry that happened

Kill yourself wojaknigger.

So let's see if I understand the system correctly

Dodge has extra iframes

a perfect dodge means that you would have parried the attack if you pushed parry instead of dodge

When you see just "dodge" it means you would have been hit if you pushed parry, and what saved you were the extra iframes

am I correct?

The final redpill is that due to counterattack mechanics parrying actually makes you a casual due to the game becoming easier

how do you make a good parry mechanic?

the only examples I can think of rn are Fromsoft games that is meh or bad and the most recent BasedDoom that looks lame as hell

any good examples/ideas?

live yourself

It's not like I ever fact checked that, but it seems obvious that's what it is.

I've never dodged or parried in my entire life

trade

Is it illegal to combine multiple defensive options into a single game or something?

Parries that make you take partial damage are shit, because if I dodge right I take 0 damage every time. Parries that have a perfect frame window are good but only equal to the neutral dodge, and parries that give you some sort of counterattack or other beneficial effect on perfect parry are based and peak gameplay. Royal Guard is cooler than Trickster.
