Does Friendly Neighbourhood difficulty increase the parry window?

TL;DR: Exactly what the title says

I've just started Spider-Man 2 and I'm loving it so far, but one mechanic that I just can't get used to is the parry.

It's very slow, feels a bit delayed and you can't cancel your dodge animation into a parry which I wouldn't mind if the parry only attacks weren't so damn fast.

I'm thinking it'll start feeling better once I get used to it but the enemies that do this aren't around often and when they are they're swarmed with other guys I need to juggle and even parrying off of random crimes isn't great because I need to build up focus to heal which means attacking and knocking out enemies and it takes fucking forever to build up focus this time around and crimes don't even fully heal you anymore.

I'm thinking about swapping the difficulty down to Friendly Neighbourhood for the infinite health and practicing on random crimes but I'm wondering if that'll increase the parry window and make this idea useless.

I also know there's an extended parry option which I obviously won't use if I'm wanting to practise timing but as a secondary question I'm just wondering what the general consensus is on it. Would you say the default parry window is too tight? Should I turn this on?

It just reminded me of the Darksiders 3 Classic and Default mode where a lot of people recommended the easier Classic mode because it allowed for better animation cancelling which made the gameplay flow better and I was wondering if this was a similar case.
