Anyway, here's a new replay. Let's try to keep up with activity.


Edit: My tips to countering a shovel are.. (by the way I made this guide in roughly 15-30 minutes. It's not that accurate.. just the steps I use on shovelers.)

1. Try to get your hand grabbed onto one of your opponent's hands before he can grip your lower body with both hands. If your opponent can only get 1 hand on you, there is a low chance that he will actually form a shovel, or even lift you off of the ground. If you get his hand, try everything to get it away from your lower body, and separate his hands. Do everything possible to stay on the ground. Be cautious, your opponent can still easily lift you off of the ground at this point. From here, the fight will be pretty normal.

2. If you miss the hand grip, like I did, grab him as low as possible on his tori, and attempt a turn-over. Make sure you have at least 1 foot planted on the ground. If you don't, you are going to already be airborne. I barely got the tips of my feet planted, grabbed him in the side, and formed a twisty turn-over type move. I feel that I was quite lucky in actually dqing him, at that point.

3. If you are already in the air, there is a low chance that your opponent will let you down until you are far outside the ring. Try to do this by yourself. Grip him in different areas of the body while in the air to try to force yourself to the edge of the ring. If you can get at least 1 or 2 feet inside the edge of the ring, knees bent or not, you still have a chance at turning the entire fight around. Try a turn-over, but most of all, just try to dq him while staying safe inside the ring. It's going to be a pain to counter a shovel unless you are already quite skilled at this game, however, most shovelers are also newcomers to this game, so you might have a chance!


Yeah, shovels suck, but using these steps, I'm sure you will have a lot less problems with shovelers. Correct me if I'm wrong in any way, and good luck!
