    Shugoki rework idea for the future

    I know he just got his rework this year, but here is what I have been thinking for the Big Boy

    Demon's Embrace is a good, fair, balanced move that lets Shugoki trade damage and heal, or interrupt certain combos. But the fact that he can do it from a heavy got me thinking: ''OK so he is winding up with his Kanabo, but where does the Kanabo go when he does the move? On his back?'' Well here is what I was thinking:

    - If Shugoki attempts a Demon's Embrace he will drop his weapon on the ground, after the Demon's Embrace, he can either go back to where the weapon has been dropped and pick it up instantly by pressing the interaction button, or he flows into a special moveset. In this special stance he has a lot of grabs and throws used to disengage with your enemy momentarily so you can retreat to your weapon or you could continue your pressure in your Sumo Stance

    Sumo Stance would contain:

    -GB's and CGB's are still possible, though a Guardbreak will only guarantee a regular throw

    - Parries are still possible by pressing Heavy on the parry timing. Shugoki will grab the arm of the opponent and either push them or he can chain into a parry counter in which by holding the GB button Shugoki picks up the opponent with both hands and throws them out of range or if you just tap it he backhands slaps them really hard. If the opponent goes OOS from the parry, the slap will make the opponent fall

    - Enemies on the ground can be stomped, dealing 30 damage and refilling their stamina gauge

    - In this Sumo Stance Shugoki will have to play defensive and work around the enemy in order to make his way back to his weapon

    - Bashes can be countered by pressing Light Attack just as they are about to land. Shugoki will withstand the blow and push the enemy behind him. This works only with Bashes, Gladiator Toe Stab included

    - He no longer benefits from Hyper Armor, and if he misses a parry his grab will miss



    What do you guys think? I know it might sound really stupid but I think it would suit him. The fact that he can counter both attacks and bashes in this stance make him a strong turtle IF played correctly, though without any means to kill you unless you go OOS and get stomped but even then his stomp is only 30 dmg. I think that he was a Sumo Fighter in the lore and this would really bring out his character

    We need to have more heroes that flow into different stances like Highlander, because those are really fun

    Hell yeah it would

    If shugoki had a "sumo stance" I'd have mained him instead of warlord 🤣 hell I'd probably drop my club at the earliest opportunity just so I could run around like E Honda giving everyone the hundred hand slap
