Title, I was playing and I saw it happen, the first time it happened I tested it but came up with no results. Then it happened again so I saved the replay, and this time I found a way to consistently do it.
I tested everything in training mode/training stage on the default training mode settings, aside from pressing ZL to advance 1 frame.
I've defined frame numbers as the folllowing: Frame-0 is the frame on which the imput is made, as imputs register when a button is held when a frame progresses onto the next one
(i.e. pressing the shield button on frame-0 will initiate a shield imput on frame-1).
Testing was done on Ver. 3.0.0
Palutena's neutral-special multi-parries the second hit when hit on f-1 of parry(i.e. f-1 of shield-drop, f-4 of shield input) (f-27 of nspecial), the 2nd hit hits on f-8 of parry-freeze, the 3rd on f-15, Mario loses parry eyes on f-7.
Strangely, this only happens when a shield-input is made on f-23 to f-24 and the 3rd hit does not get parried.
Even stranger, when a shield-input is made on f-22 to f-23, it will sometimes be a f-1 parry that does not multi-parry, and sometimes it will be a f-2 parry that also does not get parried.
Although I don't know why or how, it is possible to multi-parry all 3 hits of Palutena's nspecial, which I know because I have a replay in wherein it happens, and I've tried to find a way to upload a video of it but none of the sites I've used actually uploads the video correctly, so if anyone wants it, I can give it to you, but I don't know how to do it so you'll have to come up with someway to do it.
Sheik's FC-neutral-special multi-parries the second hit when hit on f-1 of parry(i.e. f-1 of shield-drop, f-4 of shield input) (f-12 of FC-nspecial), the 2nd hit hits on f-6 of parry-freeze, the 3rd on f-10.
When hit on f-2 of shield-drop(shield-input on f-7 to f-8), this is f-5 for the 2nd hit, and f-9 for the 3rd (this is the same when hit on f-3 of shield-drop(shield-input on f-6 to f-7)).
Parrying on f-3 of shield-drop(shield-input on f-6 to f-7) will sometimes not multi-parry the 2nd hit, which hits on f-6 of parry-freeze.
Sometimes the 2nd hit hits on f-5 of parry-freeze, and this will result in the 3rd hit getting parried as well on f-8, the 4th hits on f-12.
Ridley's FC-neutral-special multi-parries the second hit when hit on f-1 of parry(i.e. f-1 of shield-drop, f-4 of shield input) (f-59 of nspecial), the 2nd hit hits on f-9, the 3rd on f-19, f-20, or f-21. Mario loses parry eyes on f-16.
Sometimes the 2nd hit will not parry and instead hit on f-14 after parry-freeze.
It only works when the shield-input is on f-55 to f-56 of nspecial, a shield-input on f-54 to f-55 will be a f-1 parry, but it cannot be a multi-parry (from what I tested, maybe someone else can get it to work).
From my testing with Sheik, it seems that in order to multi-parry you have to be hit again before f-5(a f-4 window) after the 1st parry, however the Palutena results indicate that this is not the case, and with Palutena the yellow "parry-eyes" disappear before the multi-parry comes out.
It also seems that multi-parrying only works with projectile multi-hits, I couldn't get it to work with other multi-hit moves like Yoshi's and Mario's dair, though other moves might work?
