Temple of the Fist Second Boss problem

[Shurrikhan]

If you mean AoEs look at it this way:

Port and Star = Port and Starboard like the sides of a ship. So don't be to his sides.
Fore and Aft = Before (in front of) and After (behind). Don't be in front of or behind him.

It's surprising how many people fail that. I try to be that melee who others can follow for the less obvious three-sides-deflecting Killer Instinct mechanic, though, as I imagine some really may have trouble seeing that if at all distracted when it comes out.

Surprisingly, not all players of this game grew up on a boat.

I think tunnel vision is the number one problem on that mechanic. It happens to me a lot, though I'm trying to break myself of the habit. Once you snap out of it, it's pretty easy to see, but I do agree. The color of the shield displays blend into the surrounding environment. I wish the icon had a directional symbol on it. Right and left would obviously mean one of his sides, and an up and down arrow would signify his front or back respectively.
