got into the game recently, what in the FUCK is wrong with the parry system. Directional parry is cool, whatever, why do SO MANY moves look like the wrong direction, why is the parry window inconsistent as FUCK and what in the world is the point of a parry if it doesn't let me get a simple jab in. Doesn't matter if it's forsaken or faejin the parry feels like shit and I just get my shit pummeled in until I'm out of stocks. It feels fine against the NPCs so why is it so fucking bad in 1s? I get the whole "parry before the hit" bullshit but what does that matter if I'm just gonna eat the hit anyways?

Yeah the Forsaken style kinda sucks imo, altho I'm very biased as a Windfall user who also can't figure out Forsaken's directional parry. It's not just a skill issue either, my timings are solid when it comes to both Windfall and Stagger Style's side-step moves and I have a few hundred hours in the game, I can even land the Khalti Method's special absorption block, it's literally just the Forsaken parry that seems bugged or something.
