Talk:Parry and Riposte/@comment-25173123-20141210084459/@comment-4511886-20141210102557

The only real differences between the games is the fact that you can still take damage, albeit it's at a reduced rate, when you're riposting, and there are two different forms of ripostes. Of course, the former holds true for most animations in DaSII, so it might not be necessary to list it.

The two ripostes are standing and sitting, which one that is done depends on how quickly one ripostes. The standing riposte can also be done if you guard break someone. And both backstabs and ripostes hit twice, which might affect buffs, but I haven't seen or done any testing on it.
