It doesn’t hit overhead, you’re right about that @STORM179 (I simply forgot). Be that as it may, a LOT of players tend to jump before doing the divekick, meaning you can never be too sure if they’re going to hit you with a normal jumping attack (which does hit overhead) or the divekick (which you’ve established isn’t), so I’d ere on the side of caution and block high to cover both, unless he’s far away.
So you guys are telling me Shago’s dive kick and cross up dive kick don’t hit overhead?
I ugh…was not aware of this lol
Lol. Yep, it does not.
This doesn’t make any sense. If he’s standing in neutral, then you should be blocking low. Once he jumps, then you can block high - you’ve got all the time in the world at that point. If you’re standing in front of him on the ground, then there’s nothing he’s going to overhead you with except axe kick, and as a general rule that tends to come after a low normal poke. Stand blocking in neutral against Shago is a great way to catch a yolo slide to the knees.
Easily punishable on block. Block and you got him.
Point well made. I’ll endeavor to remember it this weekend. From my perspective, I was thinking you’d have time to block low if he did the slide, but that’s definitely much faster than his jump, so I can’t find a fault in your argument.
Guys, you gotta keep in mind that KI is a game that all kind of players play, low level (like me), medium and high level.
I don’t think he’s unbeatable, or OP if you play on top level KI, but remember that to some amateur new players facing that character is quite difficult. Because you need to be too technical and manage lots of concepts that for some beginners, and even medium lvl, may be overwhelming at first.
I’m not saying he is OP, but one of his strengths is the amount of different angles that he can attack from in a very short amount of time, on the other side, he doesn’t make much damage and he needs an strong momentum to be effective.

Kan-Ra is stronger than Fulgore? LEL
Aganos not at the bottom of the list. LEL
That has got to be the worst tier list I’ve ever seen.
Thats eventscrubs for you , the tiers have no research their just a glorified voting pole
Quick question: Anyone know how to beat ITA Master’s thunder?
I’m not sure this is the right place for that.
That being said, I’ve been losing left and right to Thunders… so badly and so often I’m starting to think they should be buying me breakfast. -grabs notepad and listens attentively-
I know, that’s why I said it’s a quick question. His thunder just seems unbeatable and my thunder pales in comparison lol.
Like Shago players, he goes for a lot of unsafe tricks, like command grabs and dps. Make the right read, counter breaker him for guess breaking like he always does, and make him rethink his decisions.
Now back on topic please.
Of coarse. Shago’s cheap right?
On second thought, I hate this topic. XD
I second that motion. All in favor of changing this to a Thunder match-up discussion, say aye.
Yeah, I’m finally figuring out how to punish this guy on block. Here’s an example, if someone’s interested. Excuse the cheese in the beginning.
