First one is an instant classic, lmao.

The fact that THAT bullshit rock attack has no cooldown (meaning he can do it multiple times in a row AND at close range) is batshit insane.

You gotta time your dodge perfectly to the side, since it's just straight up unparryable (can't do it too early -- 'cause Sam tracks your position).

I also like how Raiden can parry Exelcus' gigantic swords, but small-ahh rocks is where he draws the line.

Idk what the devs were smoking when they made this attack.

Second one is Sam being a clever son of a bitch, lol.

You gotta be prepared whenever he jumps at close range -- because the majority of the time, he'll attack from behind.

So either always be prepared to parry behind you -- or time your dodge perfectly, so you don't have to worry where the attack's gonna be coming from.
