Parries are a bit different from blocking.

Blocks generally have chip damage. Parries essentially absorb damage and gives the character the frame advantage (literally means that they can attack with minimum consequence), but requires precise usage for it to work. Fuck it up, bam, eat a full damage.

From my idea, Jaune isn't gonna lame it out like it's Cross Tekken (Hah TBFP), he's gonna block, then use the opening to do a counter of his own.'

I guess to balance Jaune's defensive style, his attacks are sluggish but hits fairly well. Maybe his combo-capability would be below average compared to the others?
