I think it's in FULL agreement that the 1 hug KO mechanic is stupid that needs to be removed. Give me some more fighting potential in swap of the dumb 1 hit kill hug. lol

So I'm a warden, I fight this Shugouki for the 6th time 1 on 1 had results on both sides of the spectrum.
in this last battle I severely manhandle him down to 1 bar we both back off do an emote and then I go in for the kill.
I have FULL HEALTH (or maybe about 90%).
Shugoki does the back breaker I think okay that's gonna hurt a bit I estimate half my health gone.
instead I am ONE SHOT.

This should not happen I like the idea of the ability doing more damage depending on your current health but please make it a bit more consistent then this... Nobody likes to get one shot because of 1 mistake in a fight that was extremely one sided...

That's the only problem I have with his moveset.

I'm not going to lie that last fight was just like the Red Viper vs The Mountain.

Wait, people actually get caught by it the low health version? Didn't think it was possible.

trust me a competent player will never actual get hit and the moment it misses you're done, game over.
anyone that gets hit by it is just bad.
i've been playing shugoki for i think 2 days and i've hit it about 3 times

Proof that if the shugoki is good he can hit the grab 100% of the time. Watch 5:59. What was that orochi actually suppose to do.

[TCTF_SWAT]

Plenty actually.

Get out of the corner
feint or cancel his heavy into a dodge
attempt to GB

Side step to the left. lol.

Plus it's a high risk high reward move. On top of being slow. I mean it hurts himself for 2 bars if he whiffs it. He can't kill himself with it but you're 99% guaranteed to be punished.

Having played Shugoki back in the TT and now in retail, I really think that as it stands, the Goki is among the weakest heroes in duels and brawls, but really good in 4s.

His mix-up game is incredibly shallow and he cannot open anyone really. The biggest guarantee that this class has is a parry into demon ball. He's absolutely awful if players play defensive because not only is he slow, both movement and attacks, but his mix-up game is shallow and feint-reliant (which gets expensive really quickly).

I would trade that stupid instant-kill bear hug ANY DAY of the week for a better mix-up game and/or headbutt.

[TCTF_SWAT]

I actually just got killed by the critical version. It kinda forces you to be defensive only if he has his armor up.

Yes, I also don't need instakill but better counter against defensive opponents, and/or better dodge for escaping stunlocking.

More research may change my opinion, but for now Shugoki's future on 1v1 looks grim.
