WE ARE SO IN PROGRESS

I need old parry back. I had unreleased flight tech that I can't use now

It's been a month. I wish I could upvote this a second time, because after a month I feel just as strongly about reverting this change, even though I've gotten used to it. All it introduced to the game is frustration, and no new tech was discovered, only lost. Most people either hate the change or aren't impacted by it, I don't know anyone who would be mad if parry ungrounded again.

Please please give our parry unground back. It is cherished by the community and it was a brilliant balancing tool for the defense system in RUMBLE.

Parry ungrounding was the tradeoff so stomp was more viable. It made the ungrounded Structures stop and stronger but worked only on ungrounded. Parry made any structure stop but was weakened by the ungrounding. Now, defensively, parry replaces stomp entirely. Parry for offense was purely to ungrounded to quickly get a free structure. Kick is too slow as we will have to wait for it to retouch the ground to keep a nice combo pathing, otherwise the object could go too high. Parry ungrounding is needed for balance of poses.

are devs gonna acknowledge this

After 2 weeks i can say i have adjusted, defensively i do a few different things. I almost never use parry. I can also say that we have gained nothing interesting and only lost countless interesting interactions and moves due to the change. The 'unintended complexity' is what makes rumble beautiful. So i see this as an easy win for the devs to embrace the fact that the change of state was never intented with parry, but it has become a core feature of combat.

What if it was added back as a shift stone that also buffed parry/the parried structure with some additional effect that was relevant for the use cases someone might specifically want parry unground for?
