Parry Practice Tips

So I decided to REALLY focus practicing parries during my daily practice sessions. I figured getting in execution and combos can only get you so far.

Any tips on how. Or maybe ways you do it.

Not much to learn except to parry supers. Everyone’s mistake (myself included) when learning to parry is that they walking in towards the opponent, guess where they’re going hit them, fail, big damage. It just comes down to reaction, knowing matchup, and then knowing your opponent. Parrying Jump Ins is something you should learn, everything else just comes with time and Yomi-Magic.

Im probably the worst defensive player in all fighting games.
And plus I started playing when I was 7. I thought it was “stoopid”

Most recent scoring.
When you practice NOT doing something, you end up not learning at all.
Offense is pretty good though, but that’s just a comp. generated score.

lolwut?

Im bad with words.
Just write some tips.

Just buffer parries into most of the shit you do. It ain’t complicated (just hard to incorporate).

Pressing buttons while the game is on doesn’t count as playing. What’s the point in saying “I played SF2 when I was 3!” or whatever other bit of history like that. It doesn’t give you cred. It just makes you look scared of being labeled a noob (which ironically enough it’s a really obvious indicator of).

What womble said. There’s no super secret tactic. Just play more and sneak that forward or down input into more things. Once you know the distance and speed of things you’ll know when you can buffer a parry into something or even preemptively parry and still be completely safe. You need to play other humans to ever be good at 3S; the computer can be easily cheesed to death and makes really bizarre decisions with alarming frequency.

A+ :clapdos::clapdos:

Good job!!

What have you been doing for ten years, scratching your ass? Parrying is basically a rhythm game, and in my head I’m making pop sounds to the tempo of the parry timing. So if I’m parrying an ex fireball, it would be “dun dun,” but if I’m parrying something like Makoto’s SA2 it would be “dun dun dun [pause] dun.”

This is my favorite thread.

You’re an idiot.

no i am not guyz, jeez
