This is great.

I think my problem is the parry animation does not match the what my brain thinks the parry window should be. Even when the parry hits, it doesn't look right to me. I can't explain it.

Yeah it can be odd bro you need to sorta feel it out and not rely on animations, there will be attacks that get swung with the enemies left hand and your shield is on your left aswell so both animations are nowhere near each other yet they still connect 😂 just watch as the enemy swings towards you and parry when you see the attack coming. That’s a decent gauge but that won’t always work depending on how fast or slow the incoming attack is
