If you stand behind someone and swing your weapon from left or right and are standing close enough what most people do when hitting people in the back there is a good chance you hit the side of your targets shield, before you hit your target. No, not everything. You can expect to be able to parry all melee attacks from humanoid enemies that are no more than x2 your height.
