Reiterating that parry is retarded

#162

Parry reduces predator melee damage by a significant amount.

there is a durability meter for the knife; its the stamina bar…

I’m in favour of the tier system. Weapons that can be used with ranged weapons (ie wirstblades) still have the stun. The weapons are the same size, and the knives are likely Veritanium by now. Weapons that are ranged weapons (smart disc and combi stick) Don’t stun, but forces you to restart the combo. You can keep meleeing, but that can keep parrying, but you can eventually win. Weapons that are only melee (Club Sword) continue the combo. Because your can’t just throw them in combat means that if the person can parry, the weapon is useless, so by continuing the combo, you will get hits in.

I like those ideas and would be interested to see them implemented.

Regarding knife, I think the relative strength and mass of the bodies involved is more important than the materials of the weapons.

I love street fighter too, but apples to oranges?

Me posting that video was not comparing the two video games.

It was me emphasizing that “parrying” in video games is a skill that takes precision timing and that it is not spamming

I even said that right above the video

Its a different game in a different genre emulating a different kind of fiction.

I don’t think saying that it takes timing skill to parry makes it more acceptable for this game in this context.

So… yeah, I don’t care. I love Street Fighter from way back, though. Played the original Street Fighter in the arcades when it was new. Those big buttons were hilariously awesome back then.

But you can’t just ignore points you disagree with. He’s point was a rebuttal to “you just spam. No skill” and he’s simply saying “no, parrying takes timing just like street fighter”

Oh, ok. Fair enough. I accept that.

#174

stamina ain’t durability rofl

#175

Lol yes exactly

#176

Not in this game. Pull out the knife and use the heavy stab. Easy parry.

#177

Parrying takes no skill in this game.

#178

so when the knife breaks, FT cant use them the entire game? #PredatorMainLogic

It’s not enough that slam does 95 damage, even through surfaces, but you want parrying taken from the FT. You realize trophies are supposed to be hard to get right?

Just ridiculous. There are way worse balance problems in the predators favor. Get outta here.

This again. How was your immersion in avp2010 when marines blocked preds and aliens with their arms? And then you could counter punch them into a stun after.

Parry is fine as a mechanic. The issue is that fireteam gets shit like heavy attacks and parries when pred just gets the same melee string over and over.
