What is wrong with parries???

[Tobr]

They do not work at all in this game. They're so inconsistent compared to older fromsoft games.

I've gotten more partial parries in this game than all other fromsoft games combined. I couldn't get this many partial parries in ds3 even if I tried.

Like actually, I'm sending out a bounty of 5$ every time anyone can parry me and get a riposte off in a duel. That's how confident I am no one can parry me since they're so jank lmao.

[Tobr]

or does anyone know of any resources to figure out if the game actually can parry but the timing is weird?

[Natsuki]

There is a time before the actual parry start so people should time it correctly depending on the attack and the parry they are using

Get the shield with 'Buckler Parry', makes it so much easier than normal parry

I've played plenty of ds3 and had the parry timings memorized perfectly. I know the actual parry frames don't start for a few frames.

The problem is the parry frames don't seem to be working consistently at all. I'll watch videos of people parrying, and i'll copy their timing exactly, but sometimes it's a partial, sometimes its a parry, and sometimes neither.

i've used the buckler parry, it has the same inconsistencies as the rest. Currently trying out the golden parry, but the range on it seems to be inconsistent lmao.

On other people latency can affect it.

well either the entirety of elden rings playerbase lives in a third world country, or fromsoft completely ruined their online connection code or whatever.

Ds3 was never this bad with parries lmao.

I just picked up the Buckler last night and been practising OK. It's more forgiving than deflects in Sekiro.

you can literally spam the block button in sekiro and get deflects lmao.

I suspect input lag might be a factor. I found out recently that lag can also be variable, which will worsen the situation.

Parries work perfectly fine in this game (in PvE at least, no idea about "PvP" nonsense).

even in pve they still barely work. like the buckler only seems to parry at the end of its animation and even then its like 90% partial parries.

I've gotten exactly 2 parries so far in this game; one was against "Rick, Soldier of God", the other, against some invader npc when I accidentally parried and riposted whilst the camera spun around.

Otherwise, I feel like parrying wastes my time, so I'll just go for a guard break instead cuz I just get punished when I try. Then again, I was never really good at it before but I think it was much easier to do in DS3.

Incorrect, if you block too early, you lose posture. Same in Nioh, you lose Ki if block too early and if too late you get damaged.
