    the hardcore duellers are the defensive turtle players, I don't mind losing to someone who feints a lot but actually attacks, I hate the counter attacker players who turtle till you throw an attack and its even worse in tournament because of its ranking system, if the ranking system judged you by performance, attacks thrown, parrying, deflects etc then it might be better and encourage people to be more aggressive.

    ^this is why I like hyper armor on my zerker. Turtles typically only wait for that first attack until they make their move. Throw a light just out of range and go straight into top heavy follow up and I almost always connect it. Some of them think the trade off is worth it, until my zerker chops off about a whole third or even half of your health (more than half if you're shinobi, sometimes that **** is almost instakill.)

    Have you met a tryhard Shugoki player? I have them pretty regular in my tournaments. I mostly get kicked out by them. You know what they do? Turtle near a wall, occasionally GB you - and because of Hyperarmor they often get the GB through your attack. Then Demon Embrace. They literally only use block / parry, GB and wallsplat into Demon Embrace. No other move. And you simply cannot do sh*t against it. Sometimes they even pretend to fight until they are low, then turtle up and wait for one parry to one-shot you with Demon Embrace.

    Compare that to an Orochi who actually throws out attacks that you can parry...

    It's funny to fight them, and I have a tactic against them with my berserker xD I love it when they rage quit

    Orochi has litterally no other means of attacking. Either he go for timing fat attacks (top an zone) or a deflect stance.
    Blame the developers not the players.

    Can't believe shugokis demon embrace is still as it is, its shouldn't be guaranteed of a GB into wall there should be at least a 100ms start up against wall to give you a little chance of escape, I know the risk is high if used randomly but against a wall its guaranteed.

    If you hit a Shugoki (or any class) with damage and therefore have more health, and then wait the clock down will you win? If so, just do this against turtles. Why chase them?

    Did this to a warden in tournament recently. He'd wait for the attack and counter, doing damage, turtle back up, standard turtling stuff. I managed to get him to a point where he was lower in heatlh by almost a full bar and I just waited him out, tried to bait him into opening up.

    for some reason his immediate response was to take off to the nearest ledge and try to bait me there but I didn't buy it, so we both spent the remainder of the round emote spamming and I won that match when the time hit zero. boring? very much so, but so entertaining to watch your opponent panic as the clock ticks and they can get to you then completely give up all hope.
