Parry Styles

The Street Fighter style can parry almost everything and is also compatible with various mods as long as they use the same damage as in vanilla Java (and I mean almost everything, even fall damage)

The Ultrakill style can only parry physical damage and projectiles, but with some advantages. When parrying physical damage, you heal 2 hearts and reflect double the damage. When parrying a projectile, you reflect double the speed and damage. The Ultrakill style also has self-parry (like in the game, you can parry your own bullets, in this case, arrows)

The DMC style has both rewards and dangers. When performing a parry, you have only a few milliseconds to land it. If you miss, you’ll be stunned and vulnerable (taking double damage) while stunned. If you succeed, the opponent will be stunned and vulnerable, both effects lasting longer than a missed parry. Against bosses (mobs, players with more health than the Wither), you’ll need to accumulate 5 parries to stun them, but don’t worry, successful parries will still grant the opponent vulnerability

The Real DMC style brings the Royal Guard from Devil May Cry 5. Royal Blocks fill the Royal Gauge (max 100): press the Release key the moment a hit lands to perform a ROYAL, spending the entire gauge on a devastating counterattack. If you mistime it you get a GUARD instead: half the gauge, a weaker counter, and 2 HP of recoil. Revenge arms your gauntlet so the next hit you take is fully countered. Every successful parry also builds your Style Rank, from Dismal to Smokin’ Sexy Style, so keep the rhythm going

A style created as a joke (or for those who want a serious, literal challenge): a “Probability” indicator appears in the top-left corner, starting at 50%. Probability of what? Instant death. If you miss a Parry, the probability increases by 5% (capping at 95%). If you land a Parry, one of two things happens: either the mob or opposing player dies instantly, or you die instantly

Pray when the probability hits 95%

A medium-rhythm style (0.3s window, 0.1s perfect). A successful Parry cancels the hit and, if the attack carried an element (fire, lightning, poison, wither, ice or magic), it is captured: your next hit unleashes it. A perfect Parry holds the element 50% longer. Against other players only a perfect Parry steals the element (and their charge is spent even when parried). Failing does not stun, only a short cooldown
