Sway after Parry was happened to me too, so Parry stun is not guaranteed for handing strike. Yes it needs some testing and I am going to do it.
With that in mind, giving the ability to Parry into the Clinch becomes even more IMPORTANT (b/c gives you guaranteed Clinch in catching conditions).
So, Parry into Clinch:
- is important for gameplay and balancing Parry
- is realistic as I posted real fight examples above in response to Martial Mind so it must to be in the next game if we want a SIM , not a fabricated arcade game.
The only thing that needs is tune it right.
