    Shugoki issues

    First off I'm not in here saying shugoki is op, but why do i literally always lose to them? it just feels like as an assassin i keep putting on the damage...then he just gets a hit or two and i just end up dead. his armor makes him hard but i try to play around this. anyone else getting wrecked by shugoki? maybe I'm making it too complicated? should i be blocking more than parrying vs him? can anyone give me some solid tactics to beat them? i know he's considered a weaker hero but to me he's the hardest. tips please, thanks! i can beat op classes like zerkers and such but i **** my pants anytime i see a shug his size??its mental maybe...?>??>>...

    stare at him for 10 seconds --> parry whatever he does --> punish and do whatever for 5 seconds
    if he does nothing gb him (even if he counterguardbreaks, he still loses his armor) ---> do whatever for 5 seconds
    never throw any attack except for a gb when his armor is up or is coming up (fast double lights do work though)
    if you are out of stamina just block / parry unblockables (cant be feinted ez everytime)

    if he is low hp and trying to bait you to a wall just stay away if you have more %hp and wait for the timer to run out or for him to come to you

    ???

    the keys to defeat a shugoki is first to time your attacks and guard breaks, if his armor is up use a guard break then start your punish, but don't take too long as his armor will be back again
    second try as much as you can to learn how to counter his guard break at any time because the heavy after a guard break is very effective to shugoki
    keep yourself far from any ledges and keep your distance from him as the demon's embrace is very easy to dodge if you kept your distance

    shugoki, lawbringer and highlander mains are very patient players and will take their time before engaging their punishers, thy always expect others to be a bit rash so if you took your time a bit it might frustrate them
