Unless you know the attackspeed of each weapon and can react accordingly I don't recommend what you say. Also if you are going to do that make sure you have fast parry (use a light weapon aka a dagger on the offhand) if you can react in that instant.

My tip would be what Oroboro says, since its simple and it makes sense. Most people do that mistake they swing again after a miss... So if the invader swings at you but misses go inside his range and prepare to parry because its highly possible that he is going to swing again.
