ZeroPero the shovel is actually fairly easy to counterplay. If you meant getting eliminated by the shovel this whole time, yeah, it's built in to do that on purpose. The shovel takes dudes OUT. Like it's what it's made for. UNDERTAKER STYLE.
really tho, if you're getting spun on by the shovel guy, there's not a lot you can do. Usually if I'm getting bashed a bit too much I try to avoid the shovel(er?) and line up my dropkick to disarm it. If you like from there, you can intentionally pick it up wrong and throw it out of bounds. Or revenge. The shovel is yours now. Bury them all.
