    [Bug] Shugoku can block Orochi's second light top hit even if the first one connects

    Orochi's second light hit from the top connects automatically if the first one connected. Shugoku can block the second one nonetheless.

    The same also applies to the PK's light followup after a heavy and (I assume) the warden's double side light. The problem is that the first hit won't stagger a shugoki due to his hyper armor so there's no reason why he shouldn't be able to block that second hit. It started happening then they removed the unblockable property from those guaranteed followups, thinking they would still be guaranteed because of their speed and the stagger. But they forgot about shugoki.

    Hyper armor allows the Shugoki to disregard stagger from a single attack, so there's no bug here unless you're saying that the Shug's hyper armor was down.

    It's not a bug per-se, more like a mistake.

    See, this wasn't happening before patch 1.03, and in patch 1.03 they did this:

    "Attacks that cannot be blocked because they are too fast no longer display the Unblockable Attack feedback."

    A cosmetic change made just to stop spamming people with the orange unblockable symbol. But a side effect was that afterwards it became possible for shugokis to block those followup attacks. I don't think that was intended.
