ULTRAKILL | Every Parriable Attack Prelude-Act 1

Thanks to the guys in the speedrun channel for reminding me of the attacks I was missing when I started making this about a week ago.
I'll probably do another one of these once Act 2 is totally done.

[@reticenthope7022]

whenever I go back to fight the corpse of king Minos, when it comes to parrying his attacks, I always dash into them while attempting the parry. when I first switched to doing it that way it definitely felt like it was helping. I was wondering if its just placebo or if I'm actually sort of "brute forcing" the parry window by dashing while trying to parry.

[@matapavosgamer]

Usually is because you won't take damage if you fuck up the parry, dashes give you a very short invincibility

Woah, crazy. Last night I just discovered how to parry the Hideous Mass' harpoon and did tons of damage to one in Cybergrind, then tested it out on 1-3 and saw it did no damage. Needless to say I was pretty confused but this video cleared that up for me :^) (also, you can get "critical punches" on the streetcleaners right before they start blasting fire, resulting in an instakill with the knuckleblaster. I dunno if that's technically a "parry" but it's the closest you can get for that enemy type)

Would love a guide on the specifics of parrying, like active frames, how to know what can and can't be parried, difference between parrying projectiles and melee attacks, and why some projectiles like cerberus throw seem impossible to do consistently

[@HerbMessiah]

It's something I would lile to tackle as well, I have a couple guides in production at the moment but this will definitely happen in the future.

[@maksuzbrojony8221]

any projectile with a transparent skull texture can be parried and they turn orange when you can parry them (most noticeable on HM's mortar projectiles) and attacks with a yellow flash can also be parried or in the case of maurice and the sentries- interrupted. oh and cerberus' throw seems impossible bc the projectile is REALLY fast.
