Help with New shugoki | Forums

Hi!

I just came again to play since some time, and I fought a team of 3 Shugoki.

Can anyone tell me the tips and how to react to him? I got wreck but I think I only need a little practice against him!

Thank you all!

First off, who do you use?

I was having issues when running into teams with 2 or 3 Shugo's as well, so far my only success came from using Kensei, I was target switching after every attack, mixing randomly aimed lights with dodge attacks and sprinkling in zone attacks.

It worked really good but if you use dodge attacks too often they will start parrying them, what I was doing was the odd time I would use a dodge without the attack and then zone or a top light.

That's what I personally do, but I'm sure one of the more technical fighters on here like Raime would know exactly what his weaknesses are and how to exploit them.

I'm more of a barbarian in terms of D&D classes lol most of the time I just free style and hammer away, not much strategy, I know just enough to get by.

Spacing. Dont be up in is face and if he starts charging up for a heavy, you can just walk backwards. This will let you back dodge his heavy or feint to GB. Against 3? Rip.

Stop, drop & roll.

If you parry and unblockable you get hugged (because they have hyper armour they can just what through each other half the time). If there are three run to their point and cap it... they are slow so just objective play around them until they stop trying to deathball you

Run for your life…….they can´t kill you if they can´t catch you

3 Shugs……..so a Sumo Wrestling match lol

well, I don't have a choice, RUN. or defend until your teammates arrived.

One final peice of advice, low rep shugokis do heavy charge up into demons embrace more often than they let the heavy actually go, especially in group fights, assume it's coming rather than the heavy.

Hey mate here is everything summed up, you need to know:

Goki still has no real opener. His 500ms lights might catch you sometimes, but the rest isn't dangerous.

His headbutt is not confirmed after any hit and itself it confirmes nothing if landed.

His charged heavy into bear hug can be parried/dodged to 100% on reaction. The animation is pretty treaterous. If he lowers his head during heavy charge, then he goes into embrace for sure and you still have a bit less then a second to dodge. Just pay attention to the animation.

That's basically it, since he hasn't additional moves. Just keep cool and don't react to early on his heavy/hug mix-up.

Thanks to the tips I manage to fight against the shugokis without much troubles. Only the fast lights.

A thing that I noticed is that the heavy charged are quite difficult to dodge, it has an insane tracking!

But overall I really think is a good rework
