I'm not so sure.  Right now I small character is tossed around
quite a bit when trying to parry weapons nowadays.  Bigger characters can
still occasionally get knocked to the ground when parrying the hvy
weapons nowadays.  I think that even if you use the new "heavy" shield
you'd still get knocked to the ground fairly frequently.  If you have to
get up from the ground after you parry your opponents attack you're at a
big disadvantage (and what about landing on your head?).  MAYBE the
largest, heaviest, and strongest types could successfully parry attacks
from heavy weapons using heavy weapons, but I still think they'd get
knocked to the ground alot.
