This is because parrying can only be effective when the opponent pushes. Firstly, try to get used to when enemies moves while using certain blades. Yet, be careful when you push! If you push in the middle of a combination while defending, the enemy may also push and he will win, thus hitting you! Parrying gives you a larger scope of moves once you put the enemy off balance. In fact, some players may come to prefer this defensive approach. Pushing can also be done while you are under attack by an enemy's weak moves. However, the more careful enemies will dodge to the sides, so either you use strong moves to the side or fast frontal strong moves to hit the opponent. Pushing is done by attacking a foe with a weak move while he blocks and pressing the directional button so that you move towards him. Both techniques have to do with weak moves.
In fact, once you master pushing and parrying, these techniques become a necessity in every single battle, as they help you finish it very quickly. When this happens, and it will, unbalancing the opponent becomes useful. Pushing and Pulling Sometimes your enemies block so much that every single strong attack seems to be useless. Unblockable moves such as the simple kick will put any blocking enemy off guard, yet can also be a deadly throw attack. Strong moves cause better damage, yet are usually slow. Weak moves don't cause much damage, but always come in a combo, except for some special weapons. Different Moves Every sword has a repertoire of moves (the facts about moves are passed through later), which break down into three groups: weak moves, strong moves and unblockable moves. Experimenting with the situations is the key to getting new endings! Fighting Tactics In this game, you're bound to fight sometime, if not all the time! And when you're stuck in a fight, you'll need to use careful strategies to finish off your opponent while losing as little health as possible. If for example, you fight an important character and let him live or join him, he may be useful later on.
The way you complete the task alters your position in the game. Once you complete a task, a new one comes at hand once time moves.
