I’m bad at parrying bit would like to become a bit better at it too improve as a gamer. However, there’s a resource issue that I often see in games (especially f/tps, not talking about fighting games): both dodge and parry usually cost something like stamina consumption. The only way to regain stamina while defending is actually to avoid hits by good placement but without dodging / dashing. It’s slower, more difficult but really satisfying because you have enough stamina to deal great damage at any time. It is usually my way of handling combats.

Did that years ago, just called it cds. I also have an “up” command which is an alias to “cds …”. Oh, and I have a “setup server_name” they copy all my aliases to a server and create an alias that allow me to “ssh -A server_name” using only server_name.

Oh boy, I am so glad Nintendo franchises do not appeal to me visually so I don’t have to bother with all that.

It is a reference to the Superman film (1978). This scene was truly scary when I was a kid and its weirdness very likely has something to do with it.
