shut up noob!
Donny you’re out of your element!
I cringe when Remy is mentioned and completely agree on that point specifically.
I’m going to exert some willpower and not rant about that right now.
Even then, buffer parries can get punished by throws or command grabs.
Buffer parrying might work well enough vs a shoto, but wouldn’t be as useful against Makoto. Sure, you can still buffer parries in certain places, but doing so comes with risk. She can dash in and start her offense in the time you took to buffer. Chun could kara throw you into the corner. Hugo could close the distance enough to command grab.
Parries are a double edged sword. I disagree with the notion some have of them being safe or without risk, because there is almost always an answer or work around for every situation in this game.
There’s always the assumption that you have a brain and not an over inflated ego. Muscle memory is gonna be the downfall of true 3s play.
Parries are not risk free lmao. If you parry what do most people do? Command grab or normal,srk or throw an sa. If you parry my palm bomber i can spd or even go to sa 3 or 1. Its not risk free lol. If i parry akumas jump in hadouken hes still in a very good position where he can throw a down mk to tatsu or even grab,do a fierce or demon flip and i still have to worry about whether its a grab, or melee. Parrying isnt free. I can even jump in and spd because someone thought id do a fierce and other times ill just trick you and combo you that way because you did not parry and expected an spd.
Parrying didnt ruin footsies. At all. You can dash in and grab. You can bait a parry. Meat squasher or lp lk spd or lk lp command grab lp lk sa. Parrying didnt break the game. Not at all. Infact if you dont parry at times your screwed beyond belief. It was a very necessary tool offensive and defensive as people stated. You can even make someone parry you then demon. Parries are a two sided coin
Also to add d3v is not correct. It doesnt destroy footsies. Didnt know you can parry dashes or just a slight movement forward or backward. Ive beaten people because they tried parrying everything. They were really good and parried all my stuff the first round. Then the second round i relied on that and just grabbed,baited and actually landed normals because he started panicking and guessed wrong. Then he didnt know what to do because he was used to just parrying everything and relied way too much on his reading expertise
