A little while back, we heard that Dragon Ball FighterZ had a universal parry mechanic. While we have seen footage of this mechanic before, it has mostly just been players swatting away projectiles.

A video that was posted recently which showcased a match between two players. While both players had three characters each, the part we particularly want to focus on was a segment between Goku and Frieza.

Frieza ended up activating his level 3 super during the match. This caused him to fly up into the air, surround himself with a purple aura, then fly towards Goku's position. Surely the best option here would be to just block it, right? Wrong!

The player controlling Goku, either intentionally or accidentally, opted to parry the super. This knocked Frieza to the other side of the screen.

As far as I can tell, Goku took no chip damage from this maneuver. This is obviously an extremely high risk, high reward considering what would've happened if Goku had missed the timing.

This definitely gives a very "Dragon Ball Z" type of feel to it. Hit the jump below to check out the video.
