    What do you do against Wardens shoulder bash?

    Do you dodge and get crabbed and reket or do you take it and get reked?

    Unlock and roll away. It the grab won't stick on you and the shoulder bash itself won't reach you.
    If you have any sort of fast attack, attempt one, odds are that if he grabs you while you're attacking it will fail.

    Now, for you. I remember you, Berserker right? Tossed a ton of insults for being pushed off borders by the same two lawbringers before leaving the game.

    Then you're in luck, simply perform sidestep attacks whenever you can. You'll dodge the shoulder bash and the guardbreak won't stick on you because you'll be attacking.

    Except once the Warden is aware of you doing side-dash light attacks he will begin to start outright cancelling his shoulder charge into a free parry. Then the mind games really begin...

    If you have a quick light attack, use it, otherwise you have to break lock and roll back using up half your stam. Fun huh?

    Roll away. Everything else is you guessing blindly and giving him a lot of free damage if you're wrong.

    If you dodge, you are beat by the guard-break.
    If you attack, you're beat by a parry-cancel.
    If you stand your ground, you're beat by the charge.

    Rolling is the only right answer, but it won't do much in tight quarters where you'll run out of stamina faster than he does, and then you're stuck in the vortex anyway. Just roll away until he stops trying to use it.

    First you need a Ticket to china,
    There you have to travel up a Mountain and find Master Pai Mei, who is to be believed 1000 years old. Hes a legendary master of the Bak Mei and Eagle's Claw styles of kung fu. He can teach you the the Five-Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, to press that filthy dodge Button to dodge away once you See the Warden glow yellow!

    The best thing to do is use warden and start the cycle before your opponent does!!!

    Seems to be a bug or something floating arround. Apparently your can gain armor after getting getting by the shoulder bash light double combo. But it's inconsistent.
