Our combo section has combos back into vortex for both Kenshi and Takeda, haven't tried them myself. Of course we need to get it off of both b3 and f4 ideally.I tried that with Takeda. It might catch someone off guard,
but you need to be at a perfect angle for it to work and even then they can escape it with backdash/jump ect...
Nope, that Kenshi B3 combo wasn't working for me unfortunately

Yep. That was a part of the fixed normals. At least it has its use now.
These matches were really good. I just feel like Shinnok is being outdamaged. He didn't land a single combo in the 30% range--does he not have those? He is burning meter and landing 2-3 strings for 20-25%... that's just not enough in this game where almost every character has 30%+ for 1 bar.
He has bad damage in general. Only way to get his damage on par with the cast is after he steals a move. He has no combos that deal much more than 20% without meter, the same boat Kitana is in.
Wow, that fight at 10:40 is some amazing stuff with Boneshaper. Looks like some combo damage buffs would go a long way in finally, fully balancing Shinnok.
Yeah this is known but you pretty much have to do this on a read since Amulet Strike isn't really that fast.
I can't find a way combo TP from j1 - hit stun is too small. For j2 do not preinput or mash TP before attack, most reliable way I find to land it - is to do jump-d2-u(on hit) as high as you can. For Hell Sparks combo, you need hold uf after HSmb and input d2 when it possible to reach them at maximum distance(after around 1sec) then immediately input u after a hit.
I have alot of problems with his f2,2,1+3 string in general online, I really really like the new Shinnok changes, but I would like to see some faster startup frames on that string, like 2-3 frames would be enough I guess, and its not like this string isnt -22 or something like that on block anyway. I cant hit f2,2,1+3 reset ender AT ALL online.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if he they fixed the tracking on his flick and DF3 in Necromancer in the next patch.
Feels verrrry inconsistent to me.
It's counterproductive to use it now. It is slow, so string like f224~exAS will have gap, while f224~HSmb not. It's less advantageous on block than HSmb, less total damage, less chip, less meter gained on block. If you train your opponent that you can MB it any time you can get away with non MB HS sometimes. Plus some opponents can be impatient and release block earlier or try to advance on last HS before MB.
f2, 2, 4 - mimicry will give you the brutality.
