Lmao. This, so true!
Most parry's are used as reversals and wakeups- Joker's CAN'T be used as either of those. That's the real change it needs, not a move from 2f to 1f startup.
I'm not a Joker main, so no one freak out, but I was curious about something.
His parry is ass. The timing is pretty strict on it and it's a major gamble.
We've talked about that alot in the Joker forums. I don't think it would be overpowered simply because the trait buff isn't that great anyway. Just makes him better in the air, which he is already good at.
It's a fix because the flower special is a little different depending on the stance you are in (towards screen vs away from screen). Or so it seems.
I suspect its just a design thing, it wouldn't be much of a "trait" if he just used it once and was buffed the whole round.
that doesnt explain what it means by freeing him faster....
The frames are different. One way he is stuck stepping back a little longer than the other I believe. Reduces the advantage.
Like I said, I don't know much about the character, but the way I see it, if you can make a good enough read and have the balls to throw out a parry you should be rewarded. And if you want to do it again and are successful, you should be rewarded again. Up to three times is nice. But I suppose you're right, and they don't want to make it a "use it three times and that's it" sort of thing.
well, its like every trait in the game definitely has an "on" and an "off" wether that be via cooldown after use or only active while you're holding the button or whatever. Actually wait, does Ares' ever lose the ability to throw swords? I can count the number of times I've picked him on one hand.
it obviously means hes in less blockstun himself
That means it makes Joker free faster.
