Something I noticed, you can cancel a blocked d4 into hellsparks and have all three hit for more push back.

Yeah I didn't notice it was posted way earlier in the thread. Yeah I seem to just have to be careful using it in certain matchups.

np man! we gotta wait a few weeks to see if anyone at the break comes up with an answer to this. so far i think im really the only shinnok player that has gotten significant stream time

Hopefully I will be next as I know Michigan Ranbats are streamed haha.

By the way, there were some adjustments made on some characters in the current patch, does anyone know if Shinnok had any ghost changes?

And what use is there for 2,2?

I would be getting stream time but I'm not able to go to my local BLT no more because of my new job hopefully in the future though sometimes I play with my team mates online and we stream I'll let you guys know when we do

well 22 i only really use in combos to juggle after certain stolen moves in impostor. i just feel like you should be holding forward well pressing 22, much better idea lolol.

So 2,2 has no viable use outside of combo filler? I know it reaches short (In fact his reach on all non-bone shaper strings aside from F2,2,4 are really short on distance) but can it be used as a safe block string in the corner?

Also damn this character really just has rough tools to utilize. I may just start to use Impostor more just so I can actually do things on offense via the vortex and mimicry combos. I mean Necro is working but Shinnok literally requires you to play against your opponent and outplay them hard.

I was really hype for this character but it feels like NRS put him together in five minutes.

I get the vibe that they had an idea, then it was broken or hard to balance, so they just took him out back and broke his legs before launch. I'd swear mimic combo'd in the showcase for example.

I use 22 after a jump in. Hits mid and isn't too negative on block. Way less negative than his other strings.

I posted this in another thread idk if its already known but in bone shaper when you do the string b3 1 d2 or f3 1 d2 you can get a hell sparks and df2 scoop out after the overhead slam. So this gives him a mix up where you can either go with overhead into sparks or just do the overhead right into low scoop or not even do overhead just throw the low. Its tight timing but I'm pulling it off everytime now

awesome! great find and this definitely makes boner shaper look a lot better than i initially thought. i need to mess around with that variation but unfortunately im having problems running the game on my pc now. hope i can get a console soon lol

Yea it definitely helps him open people up and I love the range. If you get a xbone let me know we can run some matches

I've said it before and I'll say it again, NRS have taken the conservative approach to the creation of this game and it's characters and they're planning to do what they planned to do with MK9 and Injustice but didn't have the time or money to do. They've went and given characters a bunch of potentially good tools and made all the characters a relatively mediocre version of themselves so that they're not too overpowered at the beginning. They'd rather buff the low tiers than nerf the top tiers this time round, that's why I fully expect Shinnok will be getting buffed so that his toolset will come together in a good way :) he already has the tools, now it's time to sort the frame data.

How is that a mixup though? Its either a low or a projectile. Just block overhead then low every time and full punish shinnok. The mixup is cancelling after the 1 to low scoop, or letting the overhead rock.
