Parry is bad

[Keyser Söze]

It's laggy and the hit box is smaller than the animation is. You have to wait for the initial start jump animation to finish before you can parry so parrying on the way up is a nightmare. It takes a few frames from when you press the button to when parry starts, parry should start as soon as you press the button not a frame or several after, it's gives it a floaty, laggy feeling. The hitbox for parry is smaller than the animation for it is, an absolute cardinal sin in game development. And it's out of place to how tight the rest of the controls are. Jump, shoot and dodge are pin point perfect and yet the parry is a floatly, lag fest. I hope it's not the same in the second game if there is one, it's just really bad and makes an otherwise wonderful game frustrating and a lot less enjoyable.

So if a car had terrible steering, that was fixable, would you opt to fix it or just get better at driving? It's like Ford saying to get better at not being rear ended to a Ford Pinto owner.

It does not need to be fixed. It works great.

it's laggy and the hit box is jank. If you think it works great, you have a low bar for greatness.

While the hitbox is a bit smaller than what the sprite suggests, I don't see how it's that extreme of a sin. The parry hitbox is still meaningfully bigger than the player hitbox (which is what really matters), and the straw doesn't extend that far out from Cuphead anyway.

Parrying also isn't laggy. Looking at my keyboard inputs using NohBoard, I can see that the parry comes out on the same frame or a frame before the key is shown to be pressed, which shows the same snappiness as jumping.

And yeah, it's true that you can't do something like instantly parry as you jump (unless you're using P. Sugar), but that's just a given considering the mechanic, and nor is it a bad thing.
If you're having trouble parrying from below, you're either not inputting fast enough, or simply too close to the object, in which case you should've anticipated things more.

I recommend trying not to time the parry as you hit something, but just before.

I wouldn't want to take an essential resource from an incel, what would you wipe off your hentai pillow with?
