Am I moronic or is this a rather early casual filter?

it's a parry tutorial
How do I parry
timed attack in the direction of the attacker
To be fair, the game really doesn't do a good job of teaching your that.
Yeah this, and this parry implementation is rather unique and strange
Yeah, when I first played MGR I thought they meant move the stick in the direction of the attack, like move to the right if that's the direction the enemy is slashing.
When I realised it was actually really simple and you just had to move towards the enemy, the game became a lot easier.
Move your stick in the direction of the enemy and press light attack at the same time you god damned dingus
Wait for the enemy to flash red. Tilt the stick toward the enemy and press light attack. Raiden will change to a defensive stance and parry the attack when it lands. Don't button mash or you'll cancel it.
Go back to the fricking tutorial.
learn to parry moron
Learn to parry
Buy the offensive defensive move if you haven't already while you're at it
that's the parry tutorial. the casual filter comes later.
You're moronic but it's not terminal.
Each boss is centered around learning one of the mechanics and using it
Learn to parry you dipshit.
Every boss in MGR relies heavily on learning one or two mechanics. In this case, you must parry or you will get rekt. But if you can parry decently, it's a cakewalk. Consider this a tutorial because every later boss will assume you can parry without having to think about it.
I remember in the demo he absolutely destroyed me but in the final game I never had a problem, I always assumed he was nerfed in some way.
Toned it down considerably compared to what the fight was like in the demo.
people have already told you about the parry, but also there is a dodge move that has I-frames in it that you can use too, I THINK it's called "dodge slash", I remember the button combo was Square + X together to do it, so just look for that on the move list
the dodge IS NOT as good as the parry though, so I advise learning the parry anyway, but the dodge slash is a nice tool for things that can't be blocked or parried
