I was actually being quite aggressive and he still types into chat "Fighting a good Shugoki is so boring." In the last match he just refused to engage me and requested to fight my Shaman teammate instead - I know full well why of course being a Kensei player myself. The Kensei is a counter class to Shaman. He lost to her anyway.
I'm surprised that a lot of players still get caught off guard by the Shugo's passive hyper armour. Conq players in particular I notice don't know what to do with Shugo once their shield bash spam fails them and they get parried + light and headbutted for their troubles. Shugo's kit is horribly limited but his stamina drain potential from a single parry is quite strong. His Demon's Embrace is strangely satisfying to pull off and one shot your opponent even though I've hated being on the receiving end.
I'm still very surprised how many high rep players I've encountered that simply do not know what to do against Shugo. I mean I completely destroyed a very tough Warden main who could shut down anything my Kensei could do.
