Lawbringer weak as the Shugoki | Forums

[Depressd_Cent]

For a hybrid he is the slowest one and the damage is ok but can and always gets easily out numbered and loses the fights. Can't really rely on his parry to save his life if he can't block as fast as they swing at him. can't fend off an orochi or peacekeeper on revenge with zone attack spams or that side dash hits. its like if the lawbringer is only good to group up on the enemy and even then people with host advantage, which in fact still is a thing, always have the upperhand since the lawbringer is too slow. The shugoki is slow obviously since he's big and a heavy while the lawbring is slow like him for a hybrid. he is as useless as the raider since their attacks always get parried 100 percent , can't get a guaranteed chain unless you guard break them in which every one expects a guard break. he needs to be reworked to at least have a fighting chance when he is out numbered

The only point where you are wrong, is that you think Shugoki is weak.

+1. The Shug is in a good place. Strong enough that people whine about facing him, but not so strong as to attract ALL the whining, like the PK or Warlord. He has a little versatility with mixups, and is unique enough that people have to adapt their playstyle when facing him... or go and whine about him on the forums when they can't fight him the way they can everyone else.

Strong, but not at the top of the heap.

I agree with the OP about the LB being weak though. He has a very limited (effective) moveset, his damage is clunky as hell, and most of his vaunted versatility depends on guard breaks.

Uh IDK bout you but i think shugoki is weak asf. He slow and predictable as heck. I really have no issues with him. His Demon embrace in combination with his hyper armor however is very powerful i must admit. Just bait ur opponent in thrashing you and bam out of nowhere oneshot.

I think at this point its pretty much understood that Lawbringer is broken and needs reworked. +1

I don't know... I'm usually winning 2v1's with the Lawbringer... even got a few 3vs1's and 4vs1's in my favour the other day. Yeah he's slow but he can weather the storm of attacks and keep fighting.
