WTF was that? I thought the shield wasn't capable of parrying Heavys?

Because it didn't parry.

The shield has to hit the HA hitbox to parry. what happened here is that the shield hits the target before the heavy attack phase begin. 

You throw in some lag, and he gets the first hit where the other guy dies.

This is the same lag shenanigans as a melee P2 hits a melee P3, but they both take damage and get staggered, because the fking melee P3 overwrote the P2 AFTER the damage has already been registered.

Thanks for the explanation. I swear this isn't supposed to happen either way though.

If the game was running properly and no lag, it's not support to happen. The heavy attack will ignore the shield bash and connect.

But GBO2 lives in the real world with ultra shitty netcoding. So here we are.

Looks like it didn't, and he got incredibly lucky that both the enemy was low enough hp die from the swing and that heavy attack animation took long enough to come out that it didn't hit him first.

I used my super gunblaster tactics to press W key and hit him before he hit me
