The Parry God | Risk of Rain Returns

[@RacesVideos]

congrats i guess to zeb for being an mvp chatter in a sea of hundreds that day

[@LC-mq8iq]

Thanks :^)

The mental image of merc cutting himself for a health shrine, then just parrying the blood back in once he's got the item is hilarious.

[@darienb1127]

When it rains, Merc just parries the raindrops.

[@BulbaGaming123]

The blood shrines belong to N'kuhana, so I just imagined merc parrying a literal god so that he can get items

[@rndThursday]

thumbnail goes hard

[@taktika4764]

The fact that he can parry blood shrines is hillarious already. But this man can parry FALL DAMAGE this is ridiculous i love it

[@cobaltordinaire5219]

i imagine that when he's about to take fall damage instead he does the hollow knight spike bounce

[@Nukacola12345]

Imagine if he could parry death xd

Providence: Parry this you CASUAL! Merc: ait' bet!

[@lionwhyte___2634]

Race: "Parry this you filthy casual Providence: "PARRY THE PLATYPUS!?!?!?"

[@lordmastercow]

it'd be cool if they added parry to ror2, then we can parry pizza and kill mithrix instantly

[@raven75257]

"then we can parry pizza" That's one hell of a sentence out of context

[@tacemiko3849]

I didnt even get it at first

[@peregrine3400]

There's a mod that adds parrying to Mercenary. Been playing with it and it's pretty fun once you get the hang of it.

[@Brass319]

6:20 speaking of, I learned from some random other comment section recently that, as miner, if you use backblast in the air and immediately start holding m1 and jump (with auto jump on ofc) you can move much faster than you would normally be able to. You can basically just tape down m1 at that point for basically anything that isn't providence.

[@alejotassile6441]

with the alternate secondary you can pretty much fly if you get 2-3 backup magazines

[@Iranofideaswhilewritingthis334]

You filthy Casul (proceeds to oneshot Providence with a parry)

[@BlingClintonTTV]

The double magma worm parry at the beginning was INSANE.

[@BlingClintonTTV]

TRIPLE

[@literally1751]

I think its be cool to see a video of a prestige run. I tried one the other day and they are brutally difficult, but really fun.

[@RacesVideos]

Maybe!

[@cunc3040]

you can parry phase 4 providence beams as well to speed up the fight by just jumping in and tapping it while in midair

@@BulbaGaming123 Does work, i’ve done it, Merc has more than one ability that gives him invulnerability. In fact you don’t even need prophet’s cape, it just helps early game.

Another day, another victory for the og

[@metalurgent]

I feel like the best way they could make parry less strong is by making it actually require timing. It doesnt have to be like Sekiro timing or anything, but standing there for several seconds for a free hit is really strong

[@ridikelus4413]

I agree. I initially thought it is tap to use, then I found out I can hold it down and it became so easy to parry anything

[@Brass319]

I don't know, I think it's pretty balanced as-is because not only can things get quite chaotic (hard to parry an attack you can't really see) but if you do take that hit it's quite devastating. I think the real solution is buff whirlwind.

[@sparky6757]

I feel like creating a skill check is not the same thing as balance, since a player with good timing will get free wins every time, meaning the move is still overpowered. I think the devs nade the right call from an accessibility standpoint to make it have a super lenient timing window, but it should deal less damage.

[@longphan7656]

Bro it’s funny cause Sekiro have one of the most generous parry frame in all parry mechanics. The parry frame last 30 frames which is half a second A lot of other parry don’t even make it above 15

[@taktika4764]

No, they just should male the other option better

[@Paperbag34]

I had no idea you could hold the parry button down before this lol. nice

[@familysarnecki1121]

PARRY THIS YOU FING CASHUL

[@jrtomsic]

Hey Race, glad to see you're doing RoRR stuff even though you got everything. If you're looking for some unique challenges, I made a loadout randomizer that can create some pretty fun builds and artifacts to use. Unfortunately youtube doesn't seem to like when I post links in comments, so I'm going to try to reply to this comment and hopefully something will stick

[@jrtomsic]

Hopoo games posted on twitter about it on Nov 28th

[@jrtomsic]

you can also search for "plaidman loadout randomizer" and it should show some results

[@jrtomsic]

it'll pick out a survivor, which abilities to use, and 2-5 artifacts to enable.

[@chep6848]

The one thing with ror2 that urks me is how often you can just be instakilled whereas in rorr i feel as though my health gradually depletes

[@cabexus]

would rorr races be possible? asking for a friend

[@RacesVideos]

Nay

[@huulok]

Wait, i just wanna ask someth,d Ancient scepters do anything to Robomando sp?🤔🤔( Or just reduce 30%cd)

Do you recommend full looting on ror returns?

[@RacesVideos]

yeah but activate tp immediately then run around looting while its active, its not a super hard rule though, dont take 5 extra minutes for 1 item or anything

[@nbohmwald]

@@RacesVideos thanks! Love your content btw

[@graceiouyce584]

Id really like to see you play drifter, they’re an incredibly fun and powerful (unskilled) survivor. Also, someone explain to me how to sue the scrap cube. My friends just can’t understand how the “crap” cube is good in combat.

[@Mint_Qu33n]

Not that I don’t love the rorr content, bit when will you go back to ror2 content?

[@RacesVideos]

Very soon!

[@DeathDragon1730]

I think the reason that looping feels better in ror 1/returns is because sure, the first loop can be minutely easier. But i can not stress the “can” and “minutely” enough. Can, because that’s dependent on if you get good loot. If you get mediocre or bad loot, congratulations! You now do no damage to REGULAR enemies, let alone bosses or, god have mercy, providence. And if you do get good loot, congratulations! You are now a glass cannon if you have cape, and complete screwed if you don’t! And if you go beyond that, let’s first assume that you got good loot from stage 1-5 and your loop. You now deal significantly less damage than you did in either of them, and there’s so many enemies that you either have to instant kill them or get good at dodging, because cape won’t save you anymore. And if you got mediocre/bad loot or good loot but no cape on either stage 1-5 or your loop? God speed, because you won’t last long. Anyway, this has been my rant about another thing i love about RoRR.

[@denbond8664]

Do you think having scrappers + 3D printers is what makes RoR2 looping so cheesy, aside from proc chains?

[@DeathDragon1730]

@@denbond8664 to a degree, yes. Though that degree is balanced by the odds of both appearing on the same stage and the printer being a good one in the first place.

[@mickeyboi1921]

Idk if your specs on twitch are updated, but if they are I have seemingly comparable specs, but much worse performance. Any tips on that?

I have none sorry

[@choty7066]

I find providence soooo much easier than mithrix. I managed to beat providence the first time i got to him and i have only failed once since. He just doesn't have any one shot hard to dodge moves like mithrix. You always have to be on your guard against mithrix since there is alwaya a possibility he can fuck you up out of nowhere

[@RacesVideos]

sadly agree, though i expected him to be as easy as he was in the first game, so at least we got the new phase 4

[@bluevines1303]

There is an exploit you can do in the mythrix fight that makes him both unable to reach you and make him fall though the floor killing himself

[@roadkillwaffle9847]

I think that reddit post mentioned might've been me... I was trying to ask how to make him better because he seemed trash to me after playing him for a while, probably should've worded that better. Still don't get him though, especially when he's now apparently busted
