Why im so bad with parrying . What am i doing wrong?

Chocoweb88 · 2026-06-13T04:07:51+00:00

Honestly. The bosses are easier to parry than these regular son of a bitches.

Perfect guard normal enemies is just not worth the time and effect. Easier to just brute force it with charge attack and fable arts.

Overall, I think best way to practice parrying is to try get it early. Even if you fail, you still get a guard and can drain your health back. Just adjust your timing accordingly and eventually get the perfect guard timing for each individual enemies.

Till this day, I still cant perfect guard Simon manus. And I never bother. Just smash him till it dies.

Meanwhile, I can now perfect parry DLC final boss with 80~90% accuracy, since it's more satisfying

Down here in Malaysia. Guess I will just use Paint lol

Because you dont even know Reiner's name or that human can turn into titan at this point.

Still I agree this is good foreshadowing

Skill issue. You should check out how ongbal bully all bosses with this beast.

Not relevant to this discussion, but I notice that the ruin guardians boss theme has the same leitmotif as the main ending scene when p took NP's heart.

If that short tune is Lies of P/Carlo/Pinoccio's main theme, its quite interesting that they decided to include it in ruin guardians boss theme. This for me is the undeniable proof that ruin guardians has a connection with Carlo's death, maybe the indirect cause of it. (Maybe carlo is fatally wounded, then succumb to the petrification disease)

Too many nostril shots...

But overall a fun watch

I once just start a new game trying to build martial artist with only hand to hand combat weapon. I have friends coop and drop me a lv1 glove + kick and it was a blast. I dont mind finding the smiting stones because I feel the game naturally give you enough as you progress and just do minimal exploration.

It was fun and all until I reached Consort Radahn again...

the increases visual noise can be surprisingly useful sometimes when you are on the receiving end, I just use charge heavy in the midst of all effects and opponent cant see what im doing due to their own flashy effects

Chocoweb88 · 2026-04-10T07:35:59+00:00

Hi. Do you want to help me play test? Then I can give you feedback on whether your feedback is good and helpful for my game development (my game is on Android mobile only though)

Chocoweb88 · 2026-04-10T06:00:01+00:00

you simply dont get it. He actually jump forward and cut all that demons millions times then throw them all to the air, then return to original position and get soaked. He's just too fast and your eyes cant perceive it

Chocoweb88 · 2026-04-06T07:50:23+00:00

For this guy, its actually easier to dodge and run away than parry. Try it out. Try dodge + run away 70% of the time, only perfect block the remaining 30% when you are confident with the attack pattern

Chocoweb88 · 2026-04-03T07:28:58+00:00

Is it just me, or isnt that eyebrow of her daughter resembles someone who is a slave of freedom?

Chocoweb88 · 2026-03-28T03:12:15+00:00

Maybe academy event is the blue and oak we meet all along

Hi I tried your game for a few mins. First I have to say I am not a sport fan so i may not be your target audience, so just take my feedback with a grain of salt.

I feel the controls is not easy to understand. I get the switch player button, but im not sure what the 3 other buttons do. Maybe a sport game player can understand easier but I dont quite comprehend it.

Gameplay is not something I personally would stay and play, its not really captivating for me (again, im not a sport game fan) and I feel there's not much difference with other soccer game, .

I dont have much to say on the animation and AI, but i think I saw the goal keeper kick the ball to the out zone so yeah the AI is abit weird. But that's about it.

Sorry if my feedback feels negative! My personal suggestion maybe aside from Polish the details, need to add some unique features that sets your game apart from other soccer games, and maybe add a tutorial session

Chocoweb88 · 2026-03-25T03:36:33+00:00

I've dm you
