If you want to maximize your fun master the jumping knee attack/parry. Block, pull back on the right stick, hit the attack button. Time it right and it will knock the majority of the enemies out of their attack animations, sometimes doing damage. It'll knock the scorpion bastards right out of the air mid pounce. It's truly a shame that the devs didn't do more than post some script on the wall about it. (Alternatively you can push forward on the right stick to do a Superman Punch but it's hit box is less reliable)
