What is the game with best parry?

Dest · May 30, 2020

Sekiro and Bloodborne. If i had to pick one it's Sekiro

Lulu · May 30, 2020

Not to sound like some Seikro pro cause it's literally the only game I'm better than average at but parry in that feels kinda scrubby

Syril · May 30, 2020

Kingdom Hearts 1

Mukrab · May 30, 2020

I was gonna say Sekiro but it's Bloodborne. In Sekiro its just too common and doesn't require a lot of skill to be as satisfying as Bloodborne.

Oreiller · May 30, 2020

Sekiro has a fantastic parry. Revengeance is pretty good too.

Lobster Roll · May 30, 2020

Does BOTW's shield parry qualify? Because I love launching a laser right back at a Guardian.

NediarPT88 · May 30, 2020

Sekiro ofc. And it makes sense considering it's a major part of the combat, they had to nail it. Stringing perfect parries is just so satisfying.

Does anyone have a good Royal Guard gif?

There are others but the framerate on most are shit, this is the first I could find with good quality.

What people won't get from this gif is that each perfect parry is the sound of an explosion.

OgTheEnigma · May 30, 2020

Chamber blocking in Mount and Blade is god-tier.

I remember Onimusha having a great feeling parry

Does it have a parry? All I remember is the counter attack, the issen. Which was indeed pretty sweet.

Minilla · May 30, 2020

Bloodborne no 1 for me, felt very rewarding.

Sekiro was very good too, its just that you were doing it far more often, so didn't feel as special to me.

Tibarn · May 30, 2020

Sekiro and some fighting games.

I hope the next FROM game keeps the same parry style as Sekiro, or at least a system thas is as precise, both the Souls games and Bloodborne have an imprecise and awkard style of parry that makes it feel simply wrong.

Noema · May 30, 2020

You can even parry the dogs. You can parry bull horns.

denx · May 30, 2020

Doing parrys in Metal Gear Rising always felt really satisfying.

Flon · May 30, 2020

I can only hear the 3rd Strike parry sound in my head reading the topic title so I guess it's that!

Don't you just push the stick toward the enemy and press the attack button at the same time?

A lot of the enemies aren't exactly easy to counter, and some counter right back, and some even have moves you can't counter and have to escape from.

It's just the right difficulty.

Martinski · May 30, 2020

Sekiro is the parry game so, the whole game is centered around the ability to parry well.

Bloodborne's parry is very satisfying to land as well and is incredibly loud sounding.

mrmickfran · May 30, 2020

Bayonetta
Sekiro
Metal Gear Rising
Devil May Cry (a special nod to 5 because that sounds effect is NOICE)
Third Strike
The Wonderful 101

So much of this

Cloud-Strife · May 30, 2020

Street Fighter 3rd Strike.

Second Place God of War and Sekiro.

Oh nice one thanks. The sound definitely does add to it as well.

Gustaf · May 30, 2020

where is the poll???

also is sekiro

Neuroxia · May 30, 2020

Sekiro for me. Once you start to get the hang of it, game just transforms into something else.
MGR Revengence was pretty cool, but you could just spam the command so it wasn't that satisfying.

thewienke · May 30, 2020

I was always partial to Soul Calibur 2's guard impact.

The regular parry is just a block, but you can also do a perfect parry where Raiden takes a different stance and counterattacks.

RespectThySole · May 30, 2020

Sekiro.

Kill3r7 · May 30, 2020

Sekiro

Spiderman · May 30, 2020

Sekiro.

Litigator · May 30, 2020

Definitely Sekiro. The whole game is pretty much built around it really.

the timing window also gets tighter on higher difficulties

FreshYoungDoggo · May 30, 2020

Sekiro, it feels so fucking good every time.

lazygecko · May 30, 2020

In Alien Soldier you parry bullets/projectiles to turn them into health pickups.

BeaconofTruth · May 30, 2020

Devil May Cry with royal guard.

DaciaJC · May 30, 2020

Bloodborne's parry is definitely fun to pull off, but having just a single animation for the riposte loses it a few points in my eyes. The Souls games take the edge here, with the straight sword riposte being particularly satisfying.

OgTheEnigma said:

Ooh, this is a good one.

Acquila · May 30, 2020

I still prefer Royalguard in DMC3

AndrewDean84 · May 30, 2020

Assassins Creed 2

Edit: Scratch that, parrying a Guardians shot in Breath of the Wild is satisfying every time.

Not really a parry, but the Turok (360/PS3) knife kills are still the best melee kills. Maybe followed by DOOM (2016).

forgiventhrice · May 30, 2020

For me, it's god of war 2 due to that iconic Golden Fleece's parry song. It's satisfying

It's obviously Sekiro. Nothing else comes close. SF3 does have the most legendary parry though.

I love Bloodborne's. It's just so satisfying, and mercifully it's so minor you don't even need to use it if you don't want to.

Deleted member 59126 · May 30, 2020

Sekiro, by an enormous margin.

Jakisthe · May 30, 2020

DMC royal guard. The gauge opens the door to a number of fun setups, including the potential for immediate satisfaction.

I'm still looking for a game which offers *manual* secondary button parrying on attack though :/

kevinking94 · May 30, 2020

Agree OP, definitely say God of War. Loved the particle effects and how there was a little slowmo, felt really good. I'd say second place is sekiro for sure though.

Relix · May 30, 2020

Metal Gear Rising for sure

NightShift · May 30, 2020

I may not like Sekiro that much but come on guys, it's Sekiro. Very few things in games are as satisfying as pulling off consecutive parries that end with you killing the enemy in a slick as fuck animation.

TechnoSyndrome · May 30, 2020

Royal Guard in Devil May Cry, handily. It feels incredible in all three games it's in.

EggmaniMN · May 30, 2020

I'll never understand anyone propping From's jank ass animations like some revelation from the heavens. A parry isn't a block where you get shoved 10 feet away from the enemy. Sekiro's the best they've ever done and it's still not even close to MGR, DMC3 or DMC5.

Hilbert · May 30, 2020

You know, call out to when i played prince of persia on the NES. In the later levels many duels would be parry, attack, parry attack. Blew me away back then.

KushalaDaora · May 30, 2020

Monster Hunter World Longsword's Foresight Slash count as parry right ?

And Lance's Counter Thrust

And Charge Blade's Guard Point-->SAED
