WHAT THE HECK IS PARRYING????????????????
Section 1: The one with the parries

PARRYING. IS. NOT. CLASHING.

Clashing is simply the act of pressing the attack button at the same time as your foe,
Notice how there is multiple sparks amongst these two fighters?? THEY ARE CLASHING, Clashing drains your stamina and brutally wastes your combat stamina(red bar) causing your opponent to get initiative(yellow bar)

NOW, notice how when itdruf comes at me after attacking me? Theres this yellow crosshair, which means he is open to parrying, certain stances die when using uncalculated and swift attacks. But if you let your opponent become vulnerable they are open to parrying. However, due to this being a block(green is a perfect parry) I dont gain initiative from this.
How to initiate a perfect parry

Parrying is like an aim trainer, when a balloon goes up you shoot at it. However if you see a yellow or green crosshair. DO. NOT. PRESS. M1(Mouse button left) if you do get in perfect parry range m1'ing will ruin your chances and causes a stamina draining clash. What you must do is direct your mouse to their lightsabers general direction before it hits you.

This is a perfect parry window, notice how my mouse isnt directly ontop of the crosshair? Why is that? Due to the shifting hitboxes of certain animations you must anticipate its final strike position(which is why my mouse does not align with the exact crosshairs position)
Initiative: How to brutally abuse it
Why is there a yellow bar on my screen whenever I parry succesfully(green parry/ yellow)

Initative is gained by blocking more than your opponent, and stopping your opponents attack. Initative can be used in a very crazy way. Initative is a gateway to keep battles short and sweet(unless your opponent has healing/armor granting moves)The more initative you have the more stamina is drained by your opponent.

Sometimes, dont rush at your opponent. Let them spam their attacks and waste their precious stamina and let them just spoon feed you initiative which will kill them in the end!
Cant parry?? JUST DODGE
Doing is done by either pressing space while holding s and m1'ing causing you to back roll, you can swap s out for a or d and I think w causing you to roll. Rolling helps you get verticality over your opponent causing you to expose their unparryable/blockable spots doing damage.
Force abilities to lookout for.
  • Lighting. Force Lightning is an easy move to drain stamina, however its range sucks, either block it or take it like a good boy. Or spam rolls and dodges so your opponents force runs out.
  • Boulder Throw. This move hits like a suicide bomb, its a one shot insta kill that bypasses block and murders you instantly and its user(sometimes) if you see your opponents flashlight turn on once but nothing happens, dodge left or right or gain much height over your opponent
  • Choke(Advanced) or Sleep. Just straight up oneshots nothing special you just die.
  • Advanced/Master Push And Pull. This move while seeming only as a utility, straight up bugs your parrying hitbox, spamming these disorient your opponent and probably ruins your hitbox causing your opponent to not hit you at all.
Beginner Styles
Styles that are easy to learn/use

  • Defensive: its easy to use, slow and precise, and lets you focus on striking your opponent and hitting them.
  • Fast/Agile Style: Great to get into your opponents skin while still giving you breathing room to focus.
  • Juggernaut/Warrior: Sturdy and slow styles. Does much stamina damage while giving you an edge strength wise.
