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

Рет қаралды 197,898

3 жыл бұрын

After manyyyyyyyyyy requests and comments from people asking me how to parry, calling me a trash player for not using or not knowing how to parry, or trying to teach me how to parry (for some reason), I decided to make this tutorial in a bid to stop the endless requests and sht talking comments. This tutorial contains everything I know, and want to share, about parrying (plus counters for it)
I originally didn't want to make this video, since parrying is pretty broken, but it's been nearly 3 years since Battlefront 2 came out, and it doesn't look like it will ever be fixed, so screw it. Also, there are already hundreds of other videos about the topic now, so might as well upload what I know.
Hope you enjoy!
P.S. Please stop trying to teach me what parrying is and how it works now... Of course I know what it is.

@dharmeshmistry342 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

@SumoneAverage 3 жыл бұрын

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

I wish I could get my hands on this game again, reignite my skill and power... Amazing video though.
