Right now, the parry has some start-up frames, which means we have to trigger it early. I don’t think this suits the slow wind-up into super-fast attack animations that the enemies have. I think changing the parry to have zero start-up frames, like Sekiro’s deflect or even the recent Khazan brink-guard, would feel a lot more consistent and better to pull off. And maybe keep the start-up frame version as a separate defense mechanic for high skill boss fight gameplay.
Maybe I am wrong, but I feel like it’s instant. I can parry pretty consistently and I don’t feel like there is any start-up frames
First boss parry any attack
