Etalus getting parried offstage#269

Etalus currently suffers no penalty for you parrying his ice spikes when he’s in his up special animation. This means that Etalus can throw out ice spikes, drop down while they’re falling, and then get away with recovery for free by just charging up his up special until your parry intangibility goes away. This feels unintentional, since he enters parry stun in any other state, and this just has enough charge time to get away with it.

Would it not make sense to preserve the parry stun throughout this move so he enters it after completing the upward trajectory? Knocking him out of the charge midway would be too punishing. Maybe this could also be a use for ice armor, allowing him to avoid this if he has it.
