I've been working on my Wonder Woman since the patch and I wanted to get some advice on using the parry. Is this a viable option for certain match ups? Is there a trick to using it well? So far my only use is against slow projectiles to get a bit of meter and take no chip. Any tips or advice?
You can use it to parry gaps in strings like Grodds 22. You can parry on reads if you think someone will try to go for a poke like GLs plus 1 string. I use it alot on Robin and Superman players. At the start of the match I just walkback on Superman and if he f23's, the f2 will whiff but you can parry the last hit and you will full combo punish him for it.
Robin you can parry his birdarang easily and turtle with a life lead. Same thing applies to the Beetle and Batman mu. You can also parry the gap in Robins mb dp and get a full combo every time. Alot of Ranked Robins like going that assassin Srtike from fullscreen for whatever reason but I parry it until they start canceling it. Brainacs dk you can parry the gap in mb dk but he can make his dk gapless if the Brainiac player does it either around your toes or instant. Not sure if 1 or both. So I usually don't use parry against him but it is an option. You can also parry his trait. Again kinda risky since he can call his trait whenever and he can punish your parry attempt if he's close to you so be wary at were he is at.
Other traits you can parry are Harleys Hyenas, Darkseids demons, Ivys pukeys spit balls or whatever tf its called.
I also use parry on b3/f3 happy characters like Aquaman, Crow, Starfire or Ivy on reaction. I'm not sure if you can reverse your input on f3s that can crossup like Batman's, GLs or Flash's. FYI you can not parry Cheetahs f3 or Flashs b3 since they hit twice.
Cyborgs 112 has a gap you can parry. I'm starting to parry Atrocitous' f2 and have been able to hit or trade a hit before he can finish his string. I think that 1 Cheetah string that's like mid low overhead overhead or whatever. I think its 332? Well you can backdash the 2nd hit of whatever string that is and if you see the Cheetah player finish the string, the last hit you can parry after you backdash and you can blow her up for it.
I've run into some maniac joker players that like to crowbar in neutral. So parry blows that up and get a hefty b3 meterless combo punish. Same goes for wakeup happy Blue Beetles or Red Hood players. But most of the time I don't fight ppl who usually do those things often but you never know until you start noticing patterns from ranked players.
These are the things off of the top of my head that I use parry for. So hope this helps.
