I've never heard the term "parryslop" until this very moment.

wtf is parryslop. i looked it up on the Internet® and there's literally nothing but quotes from people who already know what it means

hosshendrix.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I too looked it up in the inter webs and found nothing (weird in theses days and times).
Luckily, I am (currently) obsessed with Clair Obscur and have dabbled in the souls-lite/like world.
Needless to say, he is right, it basically is.

I believe it means games like Sekiro whose combat is based on timing parries to break enemy defenses

goldensun.bsky.social•1 day ago

Games where all you do is parry

taedirk.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Parry" mechanics (timed inputs to block damage) but implying it's shitty ("slop") either because of over-reliance, very narrow reaction window, etc.. See Souls-like games, Sekiro, and other games like Clair Obscur.

tl;dr: implying baseball is nothing but the same parry effect you see in vidya

Would the Jedi games count as parryslop? Asking for a friend's colleague's sister's uncle.

no no wait this could get me into baseball let my fellow autist speak sir

zubaz604.bsky.social•1 day ago

Pitching is about changing speeds and imparting movement on the ball to trick the batter into swinging and missing in various ways. The analogy here would be a souls boss messing with their timing

orpach.bsky.social•16 hours ago

fromsoft would probably make a bitchin' baseball themed game, if they were still in the contract developer game like before dark souls.

Platinumgames is probably the strongest existing contender.

Good ole Margit, winding up his swing for any amount of time between one millisecond and one decade

zubaz604.bsky.social•18 hours ago

This is like when Kershaw would mess with his delivery to alter timing back in his dominant years

toastcrust.bsky.social•18 hours ago

does this mean Ohtani is like someone who enjoys both Sekiro and Bloodborne equally?

hamsampson.bsky.social•23 hours ago

actually baseball is closer to ddr than a soulslike

ericplais.bsky.social•20 hours ago

actually dark souls itself is a rhythm game
