Thanks for breaking it down for us Danger. It does make a lot of sense. I never liked that combo because it's so cheap. It seems like everyone does it and thinks they're so cool. They try using that against my assertion that Gau is the best character in the game. It never holds up because even if the Offering+Genji Glove combo does work good, you're talking about the last 10% of the game. What are you gonna do through the other 90% of the game? Put up with weak characters? I hope not for their sake.

It's a shame that the game is so easy that it let's people use characters with almost no defense and still win. In a better balanced game you'd be foolish to do without a sheild.
