So stupid I time it perfectly and it misses. Really? How many nerfs can you give to one d tier character? And he's a heavy for Christ sakes. He should be a tank but you guys made him into a kitten. What a stupid direction for a game.
I haven't played since the update and I'm not sure about the wording, but I think now he might be blocked by hyperarmor. At least, you can't pick up a Shugoki with his armor up now, I'm not sure how it will be affected by attack hyperarmor. If so, basically a large part of the cast can't be picked up when they normally would've been. (Trading with a slow attack, usually a hyperarmored heavy). It may now just end up with Shugoki eating both the attack damage, the damage from missing an embrace, AND being in a giant recovery state where he can be damaged more. I'd wager that a if berserkers now can't be picked up in their hyperarmor combos, they could kill a shugoki from full health after a "missed" embrace bouncing off of hyperarmor.

The fight team thought to themselves, "hm, how can we make a move that has literally no tracking land even less of the time? Oh yeah just make it miss even when it lands!"
