How is anyone even supposed to know what you can parry in this game?

[Jet Uppercut]

The tutorial says attacks that glow yellow, you can parry and attacks that glow blue, you can't parry. But that lasts for basically the 1st level of the game, then it introduces enemies that shoot blue projectiles you can parry and a boss who doesn't even have glowing attacks that are all parriable.
Then I fought a boss who glows blue and yellow on every attack?

I'm more annoyed that you spent the time to make the tutorials then only applied them to three enemies in the entire game than I would be if you just left them out and told me to figure it out on my own.

Projectile color is irrelevant because it's the windup flashes that indicate if you should be going for parries.
Parryability is per damage instance not the whole combo and some bosses will flash blue before one swing and yellow before the next to indicate that only the later swing can be parried.
Weird, but parries don't always stop the attack. In such cases you get healed but still get the hard damage or die if max hp was below the attack's damage.
For some asinine reason one enemy's parryability glow is purple. Parry when you see that for kill faster(even faster if parrying with the shotgun).

The color of a projectile indicates its speed.
Regular red-ish orange projectiles move at normal speed.
Blue projectiles move slower than orange ones.

Also, you can parry both.

Bro doesn’t know what cyan is. Or what a flash is.

Which enemy is this one? I can't seem to remember off the top of my head.

Is the head's laser attack parryable?

The last bit of the windup is.
