How to counter a parry?

[ur mum]

I notice the meta rn is parry and the only possible solution is just to not attack. Feinting possibly works. But feinting only works for low skilled players. One you get to ppl who know what they are doing, reading a feint is really easy.

Are there any other ways to counter parrys?

Feint. Even at high level feinting works, you just can't be obvious about it. And the meta isn't parry, the meta is turtle. Only blocking, not doing anything considered unsafe, including going for parries.

You can try gb, you can soft feint if you have a characrer capable of that. You can try lights as they are much harder to parry.

Bs. I play Kensei and I've taken down parry GODS with feints. You just gotta do it right.

No...no they aren't, not for me anyway. Nobushi has a super fast top light. Plus you have hidden stance, and your kick, and bleeds too.

Mind teaching me I play zerker and I change up the pace alot in duels I spar all the time and it still feels that people just light attack me out of my fenits. and no I dont just do it all the time I change it up but vs a decent warden it still feels like I get rolled

I find you really hard to believe then. Please step aside.

I can see it tbh kensie is very good. he has alot of mix ups that he can confuse hit oppents to keep the likely hood of parrys down. Zerker does not haft that and with slower attacks and piss poor range you cant give any free hits away.

Nobushi's lights are not terribly difficult to parry. However, Nobushi can also feint her lights using hidden stance, which in practice against a good Nobushi makes parrying her pretty dangerous.

I do that all of the time, In high ranked match ups they stop falling for it after the 2nd time.

The point is that once you've established feints, you've taken parries out of the game for your opponent unless they enjoy guessing whether something is going to be a feint or a full attack.

That's the problem. If you play as Nobushi it seems, feints are EXTREMELY easy to predict. I switched to orochi just rn to prove this theory. Thats the solution i guess.

edit: SAD!
