A successful parry will pop up the phrase “Parried” along with a sound.

To parry in MultiVersus, all you have to do is perform a perfect neutral dodge which can be done by pressing the dodge button while staying in a neutral position.

You will have to time this perfectly with the enemy’s incoming attack to be able to pull it off, press the button too late or too early, and you will be left open allowing the enemy to attack you.

You can parry normal attacks, special attacks, and even enemy projectiles. A successful parry will allow you to avoid the attack while also stunning the enemy for a short time, leaving a short window to perform a counterattack. While parrying is a risky feat and may require a bit of a learning curve, it can make for some satisfying combat maneuvers.
