Shugoki Invulnerability is Broken | Forums

[guest-tuzT9I90]

I know people complain about classes being broken that arent really broken but the shugoki invulnerable mechanic is broken. Its not broken because I cant beat it, its broken because its difficult to fight for even the most skilled players. It throws off the entire concept of the combat system you've built. There is something wrong when someone can grab you or attack you through your undefendable attack. It wouldnt be so bad if it didnt litterally absorb everything you throw at it. Im sure your most skilled player on your dev team would not be able to consistently beat the shigoki level 2 bot. I can beat the valkyrie lvl 3 bot easy without loosing for several matches but not shugoki.

I actually stopped playing shugoki because of how inconsistent the hyper-armor frames they have are. You literally lose them on COUNTERED GUARD BREAKS, taking poke damage, and using your grab. There is little to no indicator for the person playing the shugoki, or the person playing vs them, as to when the hyper armor is currently active either. Its so stupidly easy to lose track of, it became an exercise of frustration to even play as them at some points.

i assume its on a timer just go off that, also there is actually something broken about him i haven't seen anyone mention in these forums, his unblockable attack is bugged, it wont let you parry it

Yes it's been mentioned several times.

fun fact, there is an indicator to when he has his passive and when he doesnt. He will be (i think it is) a darker color. when he gets it back, he will flash a white color. you need to play against his passive with care. play defensive until you can pop the passive and then go on the aggressive when he loses it because he can't trade and he takes increased damage.

This is very true, it is properly indicated when you know what to look for. The stance regenerates after a few seconds, indicated by the white glow that appears on the shugoki. The regeneration can however be delayed significantly by applying pressure when the stance is down. The regeneration is slowed by blocking AND when he runs out of stamina, so it's just a matter of timing.
Whenever the stance is on cd and the fatman tries to create some distance is when you strike. Most of his attacks are slow and will be interrupted when he takes damage. Mind the forward approach though as he IS a hugger.
