Yeah, it always puzzled me why raiden's superman or jax's dash punch can be parried, but not Liu's flying kick. It makes no sense, the nature of the moves is similar.
Yeh I always felt the same way, same with Kung jin's flying kick.
I'm glad you guys are testing this stuff out too. It's bad enough special moves have altering properties but normal strings doing it just really complicates things
Not really worried about the chip per se, but it should recover fast enough to not eat a followup from 3/4 screen or worse. I mean it just looks as though you shouldn't even use it to absorb projectiles because the risk reward is highly one sided. It just sucks when you see something designed a certain way but can't be used to the extent of how it was designed.
See that's how I look at the move too, but since NRS gave it an absorbing property, players are likely to use it like that once in awhile I'm sure. That's my issue with it personally. If it's not intended to absorb then don't allow it to have that function period. If ya ask me, a nice touch to that move would be if a projectile does come in contact with parry then it should shatter like the ice clone post ice burst style. At least that would make the opponent respect that the parry was thrown out defensively and prevent them from aggressively zoning or advancing. That would keep the variation a defensively offensive style (like it originally appeared first glance upon reveal). But then again, that might be too big of a luxury buff, idk?
Can you provide a video or description of that scenario with kl? I'm having a hard time understanding what's happening.
Whaaaa? I thought they fixed all the parry issues like that? Thanks for bringing that to light here bud
