I'm bad at parrying bit would like to become a bit better at it too improve as a gamer. However, there's a resource issue that I often see in games (especially f/tps, not talking about fighting games): both dodge and parry usually cost something like stamina consumption. The only way to regain stamina while defending is actually to avoid hits by good placement but without dodging / dashing. It's slower, more difficult but really satisfying because you have enough stamina to deal great damage at any time. It is usually my way of handling combats.

I mostly agree. It's not fun.
give me parry or give me death. If I can't run around in my loincloth and boots with a parry tool and a stick and beat the game with timing alone I'd rather die.
Third Strike parry is peak gaming. I also enjoy Street Fighter 6 parry. However, my brain feels real good landing them in Third Strike
Sounds like someone is a bit salty they can't immediately get the timing right in Expedition 33 and it's reminding them of all the other times they've sucked. Get good, loser.
