Why guard up? There are barely any unblockable attacks in the game and the few I can think of can be escaped quiet easily. I would rather get guard to 3 for less hitstun
My guess is that there is usually a ton less hitstun when you perfect block anyway so you take guard up to make the only ones you can't block normally not a problem.
It's nice for things like grabs that are unblockable but deal basically no initial damage (though those are usually not too hard to avoid and not very punishing), but lv1 Guard Up means you're taking 70% of the attacks damage when you block an unblockable. At that point you still just want to avoid it.
