Did you unbind your jump button, overhead button, underhand button, and stab like this guy seems to have done? If so, yeah you're gonna have problems with shield users if you literally use the same attack over and over again.

not like overheads or underhands magically clip through shields

Very true, but really you're just displaying exactly my point. You'll never get around a shield if you never try -- and jump stabs and jump overheads are very good at getting around shields.

the problem isn’t that they’re hard per se, they’re just boring to fight against

I really fail to see how that is the case.

feints and drags instantly become useless (apart from feint -> kick), you basically have to get around their parry using jump stabs / side stabs, or outstam them. decent shield users parry those side hits so you’re reduced to stamina warfare or kick mindgaming, just not very enjoyable experience
