Perfect block? Is this true? I saw not a single other person mentioning it. Would love it to be true.

It was called Posture in Sekiro. It is called Stance in Elden Ring. This has been confirmed in an article where Miyazaki spoke about how Sekiros posture mechanic influenced ERs Stance mechanic.

It's called posture, not stance. Stance is a weapon skill in ds3.

It's called stance in this game. You can even see it phrased that way in the "breaking stance" tutorial in the cave. You sound very sure for someone so wrong. At least do your research if you're going to correct people.

Does anyone know how powerful critical hits (parry & backstabs) are yet? I love pvp, but I really hope they tuned it down at least against other players. And yes parrying does take skill, but it should never be a one-shot.

Parrying should [only] be a one-shot if someone dedicates their entire build to critical damage, but it should be possible if someone simply doesn't invest enough in health/armor, so a lot of glass cannon builds would be, and should be, very vulnerable to critical hits one-shotting them.

Stealth kills seem to give ~20% extra runes, ~25% when combined with weather boost. Tested on first knight enemy at church of elleh. Base runes 64, 77 for stealth kill, 67 weather only, 80 stealth + weather.
EDIT: Seems the bonus is not coming from stealth but is some kind of overkill bonus.
Stealth back stab with dagger dealing 324 not giving bonus, same encounter with sword dealing 331 gives 20% bonus.
Same 20% bonus is gained with a stance break critical stab.
EDIT 2: Tested more and the overkill threshold seems to be about 1.5x the max HP of a unit in a single attack no matter what kind of attack.

Yeah, overkill bonus has been a thing in previous Dark Souls games, so it's probably just that the critical hit did enough damage for the overkill bonus.
If you really want to test it, damage an enemy until they are almost dead, run away, then sneak back and kill them with a weak attack.

I've always had the suspicion that doing an overkill along with applying a status effect increased the chance of a drop or more than one drop from that enemy. But it was too difficult to test. But reading your discovery seems to add possibility to mine.

the cost is that you can't use it for everything, it's difficult to use if the enemy is mid-combo or if there are multiple enemy's then there is bigger enemy's like Erdtree avatar (reskined stray demon) that just guard break you, also hard to use against fast enemy's considering they usually dodge the counter hit.
it's useful and strong but not OP

It's nice to have, but I don't quite understand what dictates whether an enemy attack bounces off your shield giving you the opening to perform this. Using the Lordsworn greatshield causes light attacks to "bounce" off, but using the heavy and better blocking Gilded Greatshield doesn't cause any attacks to bounce off.

It is ridiculously powerful early game but it really doesn���t stay that powerful. Always has a use though

Yeah, you quickly learn it's not as OP as it seems. But coming from the other games I can see how you would think that at first.
