No problem! I was actually writing mine when yours popped up and thought, “Well do i even need to post this now, I’m sure his will say the same thing.”
Well I’ve noticed it before where if aganos does certain things and if he’s hit with chunks they are irgnored as if he never had them.
I do believe chunks slow down his Sc because I just came off testing it vs shago’s shaodw divekick and…if you try to SC any hits but the 4th you’ll get beat if you have 2 or more chunks AND the chunks don’t kick in to save aganos either.
I’m still looking into it, but even if you’re right and they do slow him down, the chunks still off-set most any potential hits he might take during the shadow-counter.
EDIT: I don’t think there is any difference with his shadow counter from what I can see.
That’ll only happen if the hit is a grounded heavy normal, like with Jago’s f.HK, (since the chunks will absorb everything else) and you’re not likely to miss the timing on something like that, so…
Welp, I reported it back in Season 2, but it’s still in the game. Maybe it’s intentional to make Aganos players have the same precision on SC’s as everybody else?
Back in Season 2 when TJ could cancel hit #4 of Shadow Powerline into an exchange, I would try to SC hit #3 and armor through #4, but I’d get stuffed every time.
That is weird - at 4 chunks Shago opens him up (despite having chunks); @ 2 and 3 chunks, the chunks absorb the hit, andAganos wins anyways; @ 1 or no chunks, Aganos SC wins outright without losing his chunk (if he had it).
