Battlefront 2 Tutorials #5 - The Ultimate Guide to Parrying (And Counters For It)

[@mairuzo]

6:46 parry locks are the equivalent of two overpowered anime characters attacking each other too fast for the naked human eye

[@tristanlanier5641]

Yes

[@sonicrunner1507]

True

[@justintimeboi31]

Parry locks also look like a typical lightsaber duel.

[@Ynbpjoey11]

I think your talking abt 5:05

[@xylonus]

So thats how normal people see jedi/sith battle

[@artisticvisionary00]

This is one of many reasons why we need a stand alone Lightsaber dueling game. It would be the strongest game out there. Imagine Ashoka vs Asaaj, incredible.

[@SWBATTLEFRONTCLIPS]

Our best hope is to look to the horion for the next Battlefront type game and hopefully will have all the requested from this game and more

[@roguewookiee7534]

Movie Battles II. Gunning and the best dueling in a star wars game so far.

[@Jade_Raven]

second movie battles 2, the sabering is way better and also more cinematic imo. Playing with blasters is more skillful too. But worse graphics, less players etc

you need lightsaber combat but i need the infantry

The song it’s like a fusion between the mandalorian and Ezio’s family I love it.

[@dharmeshmistry342]

Being able to parry makes the game so much more fun. For the record! When you parry, *DO NOT LET GO OF BLOCK* as you attack. Only issue with parries is that when being closely ganked there’s not much you can do if you’re hit during your attack frames because the game stutters your block frames after a parry. This in particular happens with Obi-Wan, who I adore playing.

[@TheLautor]

super interesting, just watched a video about how to parry that didn't explain any of the locking or counters and THIS is the true guide of how to parry

[@SumoneAverage]

Extra tip for some, there’s a thing called hook swings where essentially you run at them and jump then quickly turn around mid air (high sense needed) and hit which can hit there back if the opponent doesn’t dodge/doesn’t expect it. More so useful when running away or aggressive play but if the other player is good this will more often than not be the death of you

[@jarmoliebrand3395]

Normal parry: ez Perfect parry: doable Chambering: …

[@bryhs5705]

I learned this completely on my own, been playing since launch and only found out about it a year ago. Never knew it was even a thing, I just felt special...

[@RecountDaFox1]

Best part about this game is when you both Taunt at the same time then proceeded to have the longest match Ever.

[@hazzby3589]

Most satisfying is when a Dooku uses duelist and spam swings, he’s just asking u to parry him

Thank you! I hate the parry glitch so its nice to be able to turn it around on my opponents. Since enough ppl use it/insist its a "mechanic", I've been trying hard to get around it. Dodging and fake outs help but it takes forever, hopefully this speeds things up 😅

[@poke97]

I'm a complete noob that went into HVV and Hero Shodown blind. Seeing this video literally made my jaw drop cause I didnt know this was a thing. I'm so hype now, thanks for the vid!

[@tristanlanier5641]

The chambering is so satisfying to watch, reminds me of obi wan and anakins battle

[@griffinjr1896]

I have yet to see someone who can win against me when I parry normally, and I've been playing since launch, thas pretty sad how undereducated some of the people in this game are. I'm glad to see you're making a difference.

[@EpicGamerSetzuna]

to be fair, isn't it a bug that occured a good bit AFTER launch? at least from the wording of everything i've seen, it was not there from the beginning and was a bug that players adopted as a feature, like that one thing in smash bros brawl that became a feature. so not all that surprising that folk who play casual aren't aware of its existence

[@nathanlogan7375]

I’ve been playing HVV exclusively for 5 years now and just learned about this now 😂

[@thesalvadorianwarrior798]

I didn't know you can do this. This game goes deeper than I thought. I will master this and hopefully have fun playing this.

Had a parry lock against someone today. I was Dooku and they were obi wan. It lasted 5 mins and we both gave up and went our separate ways 😂

this is beautiful it happens so fast we don't even know wtf is going on but if you know all the moves then it is bingo

[@threed7]

As much as I love battlefront 2015. The jump from that to this game with all its mechanics is just insane. I didn’t even know half this stuff was in this game. I don’t even know if I can do any of it let alone a regular parry.

[@threed7]

It’s safe to say I got the parry down gosh idk like a month ago. Honestly isn’t even that hard I came back to see if there was more I could learn. I thought this comment was older but it’s only two months old. It’s crazy to see how much I improved in two months.

[@lruptured2732]

Chambering is like anakin vs obiwan countering the counter

[@correen3467]

I honestly thought I knew it all. After nearly only playing Battlefront 2 for 3 years and only playing in duels on Hero Showdown, I thought I had every trick figured out. Chaining abilities with a parry, like combining Kylo's freeze after the enemy is staggered from being parried to then follow up with a double strike from behind? Hook slashes? Been doing those for more than a year. But then this comes. How? How do you discover these things? It's honestly incredible. You really do deserve the rank of master, congrats to you my friend. I'm very happy to see these though, as after all this time, there are STILL new techniques to be mastered. Thank you!

[@cy6org]

This is by far the best video I’ve seen on this subject.

[@Ya-vm1fk]

u took parrying to another level my dude, nice

[@everlore1989]

If you leave a gap between your strikes. This then will persuade people to parry you. But as you left a gap then you can parry them. This always works for me

[@HellsAngels14]

Thank you so much for this. Literally after this all of a sudden my saber combat went up x5. Now to just practice and perfect it.

I would suggest some deeper explanation on parrying a parry though I’m 95% sure I understand.

I can't believe how effective that parry is. It legitimately looks like you're using the force to time these strikes so perfectly. It makes the game not as spam friendly and I love it.

[@LeeEverett1]

Can you make a tutorial on what the best ways to fight other heroes are? -For example if I'm fighting Vader I only attack while his choke is on recharge. It's a 25 sec cooldown and I actually count it. -Or with Iden I'll charge towards her, attempt a swing and immediately jump high in the air so that the Iden can't deal high damage while I'm shocked mid-air.

[@Kid_Vinnie]

That's a good idea, it would be nice to see more updated guides for 2020

[@M4dM4n96]

1. I've found that most who play as Vader don't seem to realise how slow he is even when he's just turning (so try and go for the back.. honour is for dead men;)) 2. Environs with a lot of obstacles help as they can block his saber throws, just try to not get backed in to a corner. Most characters you can easily evade in that situation but with Vader that isn't an option because A. He's a tank, and B. If you try to jump out of the corner he'll just choke you and then you're stuck. 3. Attacking when you're in close proximity is fine as long as you remember to put your guard up the instant after the attack animation has ended. 4. Pick your hero accordingly. A battle can be won and lost simply by your choice of character.

[@M4dM4n96]

5. Utilise your dodge/evade button. Running away leaves you exposed (especially if you are controlling a slow hero), but using the dodge function allows you to make your way to a preferred area (or escape an unwinnable battle) without the downside of being vulnerable to attack.
