How to fight Shugoki?

[NickySins]

I can't win him, i tried everything.

He parries everything i do with any of my heroes, even in singleplayer he's too OP.
In multiplayer, they just do that unblockable charge on you.

[NickySins]

Ohhh most of the players that play with him are the "No Honor" players that just stick up on you in 2v2 fights.

Well, Shugoki's every attack can be parried easily, except the hug, which you need to dodge, but its super slow, so just watch out for it and don't get thrown into the wall.
The thing that makes him tricky for new players is his hyperarmor. But 1 hit makes it go away. So just be patient until you get his hyperarmor down, after that you can be more agressive.
He really doesn't have a lot of tricks up his sleave, he only feeds of mistakes.

What are you playing?

just get in close and feint to bait out a guardbreak or light / heavy. Shugoki's biggest weakness is that even if he initiates a gb if it fails he loses his armor. So basically just counter it. lol

Shoves(Cent kick, Warden SB, etc.) work kind of well against him, as Shugo pretty much can't dodge, and if he manages to he needs a lot of stamina for it.
If he gets parried or guardbroken he takes 25% more damage, abuse it, be on the lookout for the Demon's Embrace as some Shugoki's try their luck, if you dodge it's a free gb or one heavy, plus, they lose 60 health. His charged heavy eats all their stamina if they let a fully charged heavy out, parry it and let the OOS pressure begin.
Guardbreak him and you deal 25% more damage, as long as you can deliver hits his Hypearmor will not regenerate, if you stop attacking it will still take 6 seconds to get his hyperarmor back.

Watch out with the Cent kick, he can hug you if he sees it coming. Mid chain its ok but definetly not as an opener.

Shaman - side dodge, heavy, heavy charge, bleed, tackle, repeat (if things get hot or if the Shugoki goes for a huge and misses, create some distance and do your jumping heavy)
Raider - Just freaking grab him and stomp him into the ground with heavies, when he tries to attack just hit him with a dodge stun and continue the beating

The only troublesome Shugoki are the douches that sneak attack you when you're fighting someone else (same with Highlander.) Unless they're a good defensive player, if you just keep up a relentless assault and don't telegraph your moves (while dodging his attacks) a Shugoki pretty much becomes useless. Takes me maybe 5-10 seconds to take out a Shugoki with a Shaman.

Shaman is the Viking assassin. The one all the way at the bottom in multiplayer.

When you're oos against Shugoki walk away. Not a joke. Lock on when he gets close to block his attacks. If he charges up his heavy at all back up. As long as you're not next to a wall you will dodge his gb or his charged heavy.

Shugoki relies on hyper armor. The second you get close to him gb him, or wait a little bit. But the longer you wait the more likely they'll light the second you gb.

His lights are too slow to be offensive. They have to turtle remember that. Also as any character with a 40 damaging attack. You'll do 50 damage when he's without hyper armor. So he will die quickly once you open him up.

That's all you need to know about Shugoki. There's nothing to him.

[Fent Fiend]

Ya don't. He'll GB you or hit you through hyperarmor in 1v1s, regardless whether the character you're playing has a follow-up attack that SHOULD be guaranteed after the first.
