I know Shugoki isn't smiled upon by most players especially on the rant side of the game but honestly, playing as him feels just as bad as playing against him. It's either you crush the opponent or you're the one who gets stomped and there's no in-between, he's pretty much just a noob stomper and only "good" to stall on zones.

It's still crazy to me that they've given an infinite chain of heavies to Hitokiri but not to Shugoki, the Hero with a weapon that is MADE to constantly use the momentum to keep the attacks flowing. Although it wasn't perfect, at least his previous rework made him slightly more of a threat with the demon embrace being accessible with a soft feint from a heavy, now he's just a low-cost version of Centurion where you can only hope your enemy struggles when it comes to variable heavies

I wouldn't go as far as to say her moveset feels half-baked but it feels like she's missing "something" or I'm just really not playing her the way she's meant to be played.

It just feels very lackluster to play, most of her moveset can only be accessed through dodges or very telegraphed light attacks so against anyone competent enough it's a real pain to apply pressure. Playing her in agressively feels more risky for me than for my enemy, yet playing her more defensively also feels wrong because she's so vulnerable to GBs whenever you try to get out of a tight spot using her dodge UB or bash
