What supers can Baiken parry? 

she only got one arm, uses her left one so much those two fingers are as strong as 4 fingers

Oh my bad who would win? - blood-empowered sword made from metal that can even harm immortal gears, wielded by an ageless vampire samurai with perfect technique letting his undead bloodlust take over to increase his power - 4 fingers

Well to be fair she is really good with those fingers.

i know it's you anji

@@kittencaboodle8124 lmao

I think it does

Have you ever *played * against nago? That's the standard experience. /j

This would also imply that by in-game(Game Theory) logic, Nago's speed is FTL or FTL+ because before his sword hits his opponent visually, he has already swung his blade. But that's just a theory, A GAME THEORY.

Yeah...his hit boxes are... just there... It's just there... I don't know what to say XD

Requiem Vs World

the fabric of reality, baiken.

"Lmao just parry it" - Baiken

makes sense if you really hear her theme where she says "i'm the time exile" low complex multiversal 5d baiken confirmed?

@@ibeatmywifeandkids9084 yes.

Respectfully, what does this mean? Parrys are in a lot of fighting games and guns are rare but definitely a lot more common now a days. Truly disregarding the rules of fighting games is bringing scissors to your next set and giving the opponent's stick a haircut. "Oh no they're playing pad!!" Everything has counterplay

@@nicoco678well, I dont know what he means about the Baiken part, but HC very much does break the rules. The gun is entirely separate from the rest of his kit, meaning he can do a lot of really stupid shit, but this mainly means, especially with how his gun works, he can whiff punish you… when hes the one who whiffed, among a lot of other stupid things that can be done due to how his gun works. The gun isnt the part breaking the rules, its how the gun itself works.

​@@demon_spawn1535i mean, Erron Black exists too

except for games that make parrying a universal part of their entire combat system

@@scipto8628 i dont play MK but from My understanding his shooting isnt frame removed from the rest of his kit, HC can do his shove away move, whiff it, then during its recovery frames he can shoot his gun. Thats my problem with HC

“buff Nago” bro??

LMFAOOOOO as a nago main I agree This has gone for far too long 😔

THERE WILL BE BLOOD! RAGE!

@@specimenx4139THE ONLY ONE, LEFT, WILL RIDE WITHIN THE CHAOS CAB

True, but you can also still see that she begins the parry *before* the super freeze, and it doesn't counter it.

Nice pun

Or half as chipp

Usually I input it right after the cinematic camera ends, should work if no other action is taken by Baiken at the moment. Careful because the window is a little tight, but you can spam the input and still get away with it

Bit late but you can buffer anytime during the cinematic and it will come out frame 1. Just do the motion once and you're set.

I tested it out right now with her H. Kabari at long range, and it does work. However, it looks like if Anji activates the full super(close range version where he hits more times) you can't stop him. I might be wrong but it looks like you can only parry the long range version where he hits twice, but no one activates that super at long range really.

@@chrism.5961 Weird distinction but good job nonetheless!

​@@chrism.5961 No one activates that super at long range but projectiles can trigger the two hit at point-blank from my experience. Idk if air tatami is a thing in strive bc I don't have the Baiken dlc but if it is you could probably catch anji into long range parry with it, or _possibly_ grounded tatami at point-blank.

can't exactly delay a super after activation, and since a lot of them come out after a cutscene the timing is always going to be the same so Baiken can always parry it if the player is good enough. Of course, the counterplay to this is ,y'know, not throwing out supers in neutral.

As a new player, how do you tell those frame stuff? How would you delay accurately?

@@glasslicker2829 the gap between Kick to Heavy gatlings Is usually sufficient, or any punch/kick into special cancels. Basically, if a punch button would punish the gap, it’s big enough to beat parry.

I may do a follow up video mentioning the season 2 changes that specifically changed what Baiken can parry. I will do more labbing soon enough.

I believe Chipp moves way too fast to actually be able to pull of the parry after the first hit, and the fact that he climbs the screen makes it basically impossible after the second hit. When Axl does his timestop, it's basically a screenwide attack that does no damage, so Baiken will basically just drop the parry altogether and be free to hit

I'll have to get back to you on that one, but I believe the first yoyo attacks from that super are fully parryable , but Roger's (the teddy bear) slam follow up is probably an unparryable projectile. What I need to see is how fast Roger's slam comes out, because it might be able to punish Baiken even if she parry's if it's delayed enough.

​@@chrism.5961 much appreciated good sir. take your time though cause i love baiken but im not perfect with her parry yet

I just tested it, and parrying Bridget in that super will have Roger's slam come out in the middle of the animation, making Baiken invincible to the slam followup. And since Roger is a separate projectile, he can't be parried

@@chrism.5961 thank you kind sir!

He stays in bloodrage because he has to finish the overdrive animation to leave the bloodrage state. Parrying it in any form prevents that from happening.

If it's the song at the beginning of the timestop clip, it's Divide my Heart

@@chrism.5961 thanks

I did some testing, and it looks like Testament's overdrives are unparryable. I would've expected Calamity One to be parryable like mortobato, but she can't stop either of Testament's supers

@@chrism.5961 Well thanks for giving me the answers.

@@chrism.5961 Alright, Now what about Bridget? Can Baiken parry Loop The Loop?

yes but parry is funnier

​​@@NekoStix Absolutely Correct. The psychic damage parrying the super imparts is _Crucial._ In online anything that can tilt the opponent into making a mistake is a powerful tool in the mind game

Also note that they can burst out of your combo, or roman cancel their super to make it safe. Parry beats both and does good damage in one chunk. Good round closer.

All of this, plus if you have meter you can rrc when you slam them and go for a BNB if you need the extra damage. Probably not optimal, but it's gotten me enough damage to end a round right there.

Mays special? if so yeah, she can pretty much parry any non projectile.

Really late response but yeah, she can parry the dolphin. The timing's differ between S and H versions and I don't think it's worth risking the crumple hit, but if you can read the dolphin you can stop it

I've seen footage, it's real funny just watching may get yanked off the dolphin.

It's too late, now the world knows.

Six Black Heavens Guns

N.S.F.W. is the name of the song

Nago needs to finish his super animation to exit bloodrage, so the parry locks him in bloodrage

@@chrism.5961 scary for him tbh
