In the fighting game Street Fighter III: Third Strike, when characters block they take "guard damage". Meaning, when you block you take a small portion of damage. It keeps people from just blocking the whole time.

Now, to keep people from just pounding a blocking person until they get killed by block damage, there was a new perry system. If you push forward right when an attack is going to hit you, you'll perry it. It means, you flash blue and absorb all of the attack, taking no damage. Also, you can attack immidiatly after, to stop the other person if they are in a combo.

Gum was posting in all the forums, trying to get her name on all the topics. I was "perrying" her efforts, essensially stoping her progress, like a perry stops a combo.

If all this doesn't make sense don't worry, it was a lame joke anyway. xp

But watch this video for an example of a perry and attack.

Chun-Le's speical attack is the fastest and most difficult to perry, I believe.

More detail about perrying..

Since you have to tap forward, if you time it wrong, you get hit. If KEN (gambino) would have missed ONE perry, he would have died. If he BLOCKED ANYTHING, he would have died.

One can also perry ground attacks by tapping down just as the ground attack hits.

The video was for an official tournament for fighting games. 3nodding The people there pull all kinds of crazy stuff . . . .

Yep, that did make sense, and... wow, is all I can say to the video and your explanation of it... xd sweatdrop

gonk It was a good video too. Oh, well. Is there a message that pops up or something? The media players on the computer might need to be updated. It's a rather large file, so connection speed is also an issue. I can't watch ANY videos on the old computer. whee

I thought it was 'parry' Pronounced par-ee?
...*Shrug*

I first heard of parrying whilst playing SC2. I know, I suck. I suck at parrying, too. It feels like you gotta time it RIGHT BEFORE they hit you ><;
