It does, it would be a great addition if parry blocked projectiles and air attacks. I'm not sure if it would be overpowered or not, given the state of sun/blood god. It would definitely help Kotal's problem with being zoned out.

I rarely use the parry but it seems really good. Idk why I never thought to use it on single hitting wake ups.

Now I gotta learn what strings have gaps so I can use it more.

Well good luck in trying to fish for that single hit on wakeup

Btw when using parry, does anyone use d1 after parrying the first hit of a string?

Are there any good videos demonstrating parry in actual match play? I'm having a lot of difficulty using parry effectively.

Right now, if it's a single hit special (i.e. wake up slide) I'll use f+2. If I'm interrupting a string (i.e. any of Sonya's strings that start with 2), I'm using 2,1,2 right now. It's safe on block if I miss time it, and it keeps me really close for mind games/oki. Right now though, I'm normally using the EX parry because the regular parry takes too much planning for me. Also, EX parry after blocking a jump in attack works.

Any attack that is parried can not be special move canceled. This may turn out to be huge for string with gaps in them.
