Like parries in Third Strike, you can input commands during the animation that the parry is going off. This parry option is slightly different from the parry normally found in fighting games such as Makoto’s parry in BlazBlue or Street Fighter: Third Strike, in that if you parry attacks that would do chip on block, then you will take a third of the damage that you would have taken on block as opposed to taking zero. Whenever an opponent attacks him, Big Band has the option to either tap forward if it’s a medium or high attack, or tap down if its a low attack, and if the stars align and you time it properly, then you will parry the attack. Big Band also is the first character in the series to have a parry. Instead, he makes up for it with pure unadulterated damage. He has to, considering he lacks the rushdown tools of similar characters such as Potemkin from Guilty Gear.

Considering he’s a walking orchestra, this is something that only makes sense, but his medium punch attack is that he just pulls out a trumpet and every button that you hit plays a different note and it won’t stop until you stop. The first thing I noticed when I gave Big Band a whirl was his sound effects. He’s big, he’s slow, he hits like a truck full of rampage and death, and he’s all wrapped up in the equivalent of a giant saxophone shaped iron lung, giving himself the appearance of robotized Dick Tracy. He practically has a whole orchestra in that coat of his, minus the string section. In addition to being the first playable male character in Skullgirls Encore, Big Band is a huge, slow-moving bruiser who uses all manner of instruments to inflict varying amounts of pain on his opponent’s faces.
