Shugoki's in a tough spot right now, yes, but hyper armor negating a Highlander grab? | Forums

[Mighty_Mackerel]

I was fighting a Shugoki as Highlander earlier today, and I landed a Caber Toss on him but his hyper armor negated it. I understand that the Shugoki hyper armor eats bashes and strikes, but it doesn't even make sense that it can negate a grab... If a Guard Break can go through his hyper armor bubble then why can't a Caber Toss do the same? Is this just a Highlander issue or am I just unaware that the Shugoki hyper armor negates all forms of grabs from other characters as well? If the former, then Highlander just gets the shaft way too often now doesn't he? If the latter, then that is a little imbalanced in my opinion since that basically means virtually all characters must always open with a guard break if they want to even the playing field when fighting a Shugoki.

Thoughts?

How can you complain about Shugoki, the poor buddy doesn't have any combo or flexibility as Highlander. He can be very strong in good hands, but still limited.
And the Highlander's grab is already op enough, I mean you can literally grab someone who's ROLLING. You can even grab someone who's at the edge of hitting you.

If you think this is a little imbalanced... The whole game is imbalanced. When I see the Zerk' now and others, I still wonder how this happened.

If you think OP is talking nonsense, then consider this: Glad's skewer, which is meant primarily as a high bleed damage attack, will literally bounce off Shugoki's hyperarmor. Does that seem right to you??

Have you tried replicating this in the training arena? As far as I know Highlander's caber toss should be able to grab a Shugo through his hyper armour.

As for balance-wise, Highlander is in a good place now but Shugo is very underpowered. He literally only has headbutt after light to rely on.

It doesn't land through the hyperarmor because the hyperarmor is meant to absorb any kind of CC, which includes regular bashes, Glad's skewer, and Highlander and Shaman's grabs even.
