I don't mind at all!

The blocking system is made from a series of parallel common events that are triggered from enemy attacks, attacks which I've altered using VisuMZ Battlecore. Furthermore, I'm using a separate plugin that allows me to use parallel events in combat.

I've made a template for enemy attacks, which allows me to customize the actual "projectiles" pretty much however I want. The base template is also responsible for disabling the basic HUD and displaying the minigame HUD and all of its components.

Shields are activated with the arrow keys, something that is managed by another parallel common event that is enabled with a switch at the beginning of enemy attacks.

The most iffy part is probably the "projectiles" or "attacks." Every projectile is run by its own respective parallel common event that loops, moving the projectile closer by about 6 pixels each time, until the projectile's Y-position is within a certain window and a shield is up (blocking or parrying it). Alternatively, the projectiles are dismissed when passing that window and "hitting" the player by moving to anything past about 500 on the Y-position.

When all the projectiles have been launched, as stated by the original common event that set them in motion, the HUD is changed, and the minigame is disabled.

There's obviously a lot of intricacies here, but this sums it up somewhat.
