Shugoki has built in hyper armor that will allow him to tank one attack without being interrupted. You can usually tell if his hyper armor is up is he is shining white. One thing to keep in mind when fighting Shugo is that he consumes a heavy amount of stamina with his moveset. Moving in and pressuring him after he whiffs an attack while cause him to panic and consume more stamina to retaliate. Once he consumes his stamina bar, you can easily punish him until his stamina returns.
He's not OP. When you hit him, and he loses his UI stance, he takes more damage and can be staggered. If he has his Rock Steady feat, he can't be staggered or knocked down by parries or throws, but he can still be staggered by heavies. Speed and constantly keeping him on the defensive is how you beat him. Just...don't stand still too long if he's low on HP...
he's different ; special
IMO, he's the only one who doesn't really belong in the game... feels too fantastic compared to the other "realistic" classes.
Pretty sure you'd never see a sumo in armored gear punting opponents 20 yards away with a glorified baseball bat and gaining mystical armor every 4 seconds. All this without risks of heart-attacks.
he just feels out-of-place to me.
Every class in the game can forever dash around like it was fkin Naruto.Originally Posted by teksuo1 Go to original post
Shugoki is just more Naruto stuff in a Naruto'esk game.
Forget this fantasy of realism, that is not what this game is about (and I say that while being a realism fanatic)
not op?
Well, What other hero can make someone fall over just by running besides you?
What other hero can kill you in one move even if you have 100% hp?
what other hero can take the amount of dmg as he can?
What other hero can deal that mutch dmg as he does?
" not op " yeah. sure, that statement is as true as north korea landed a astronaut on the dark side of the sun afew years back and found unicorns living in caves..
While I don't believe he is op, the knock over when running is horrendous when duelling in the tower ruin, there are two places out of three you can fall off very quickly and in one of those if he charges from the start it is next to impossible not to take an environment loss which inevitably cues the Sorry! spam. I honestly refuse to duel when the duel/brawl is in that area.
That works against players. The bot just ****s on you.Originally Posted by MassiveD. Go to original post
You can not even punish him if you parry one of his attacks, because his miracle block is faster, than a light attack. I really hate shugoki bots.
