So how do you counter parrying ?

[i have 2026 vision fear me]

Unironically. Because i barely ever play lightsaber heroes because of the jank that it involves, hitreg issues, parrying bug abusing, the overall gameplay of them being boring, minus a couple. If i wanted to play a game that has more sophisticated sword combat, i'd literally play a melee slasher like mordhau. Because there's counters to counters. Parrying just feels completely unfair.

That's why it's painful to play against parry spammers on Showdown. If someone wants to parry spam you and they're good at it they will do it.

Parry timing isn't as easy to master and honestly if your opponent keeps on getting perfect parry timing then they probably are using a hack called "auto-parry". Most players tend to miss their parry from time to time and they do it too late and hit your block instead.

Point being that you can do a trick called "delayed parry", all it takes is to bait your opponent into thinking that you will swing at their block stance.

If you want some practise we can queue for Showdown together.

I don't play any of the HvV modes, only supremacy and galactic assault, but you'll get the one player from time to time that parries all your attacks, and things like grevious' claw rush whenever i do decide to play a lightsaber character which yeah, feels completely unfair.

I was just wondering if there is an actual counter to this, other than what i read up online, and it just saying to counter-parry. Though seeing that it's apparently a bug, i imagine not.
Which is a shame, so i think i'll just stick to blaster heroes for the consistency.

Thanks for the offer to practice together, though i just wanted to ask that question pretty much.
