Anybody know which character has the best parry/ counters?

While I like Kazumi, she is lacking here. I messed around with Dragunov and it looks like he has quick high (mid?) parries and a command low parry too. Im guessing his is really good since it actually seems to recover quick enough, whereas when I tried Asuka her parry just sits out there for a minute.

Anyone know any other characters or thoughts on these characters parry?

Nina, Xiaoyu, Jin, Shaheen, Josie off the top of my head also have parries. my thoughts on parries is to not rely on it. if its baited, you can receive big damage due to the recovery. not only that but if you counter an unsafe move rather than duck/block/sidestep then punish it, you might be missing out on more potential damage yourself. learning all characters moves (or at least the unsafe ones) and how to deal with them will be better off for you. using the power crush move effectively is a solid option as well

in all my Tekken days, the only people I've seen use counters/parries as a key to the their game are the scrub Asuka players online. don't be one of them

Yeah I feel you. Watching a lot of tekken 7 lately and you dont see command counters very much at all. Ive been playing Kazumi and she has some sort of counter (b 1+2) but its absolute trash so I never use it. I favor 2d games with parry though so its kind of in my blood to wanna mess with that as I learn this game. But yeah I would never rely on it, the risk isnt worth it.
