General/Other - Shinnok The Downplayers of Bone Shaper Shinnok

The world's least hype player
Did people not see Sonic Fox beat Mustard with Kitana or are we just going to ignore that?
For as good as both players are every shinnok just needs to block low and stay safe to beat kitana, don't take risks duck kitana's fans and react to her mids. Kitana is not a good character, sonic fox is just extremely talented.

Where did GM Sub make waves...?
This is what I've been asking from the start, for some evidence, he's ignoring this and saying the words but providing none. I can provide evidence of practically any any other top tier character back then being top tier, if there is evidence of Sub being top tier why doesn't he provide some?

Just because he didn't win everything doesn't mean he didn't make waves. He was a seriously good character, people are high if they're pretending that he wasn't all that.
So you are admitting you have nothing to support this claim and it's merely your opinion? If you didn't have anything to support it I don't know why you have bothered to contest this, the statement was never that he wasn't top tier, just that there is no actual evidence of him being top tier so I didn't want to use him as an example seeing as it's a highly debatable topic to which one sides has absolutely no supporting evidence as you just proved.

Never mind winning, he didn't even place well in the few tournaments we had before he was nerfed. How is that making waves? If anything it was all just speculation and theory fighting.
Bruh are you forgetting the GGA invitational :DOGE

Fair enough about the tournaments, but he was hella good. Obviously top tier material.

But the evidence for Hell Fire was just MIT?

Regardless, I'm not about to make this thread about other characters. It's about Shinnok and should remain so.

That was before Boneshaper got buffed. I think Boneshaper was always the best variation, but not a million times better. On a scale of 1-10 pre patch, I believe it was Necro - 4, Imposter - 6, Boneshaper - 7. Post patches: Necro - 7, Imposter - 8, Boneshaper - 9.

And Hellfires prominence and placings. These 3 things are probably enough and INFINITELY more than Sub-Zero has which is absolutely nothing, which is evidence that supports him NOT being to per tier more than anything. But regardless I never said that there was evidence of hellfire being top tier and getting nerfed, you said that and are taking the fact that I didn't disagree with it as me agreeing, I simply didn't comment yet so you can't use this as a counter

Exactly.



This is just your personal opinion Phos. You might feel super confident and sure about it, but that doesn't make any hard evidence, and other people feel just as strongly about the opposite.

If you didn't want to offtrack this thread, you probably shouldn't have singled out the statement "there is no evidence SubZero was TOp tier" and dragged it out for a page while still, not providing any evidence. That's a disagreeing opinion, not evidence.
 

haketh

Noob
just put gaps here and there so backdashes/armored moves could be an option just like each other character and shinnok gets normalized without being raped by the nerf bat

even tempest lao first week was horrible because no one could escape that hat pressure, put shinnok in the same situation for god's sake
how in the hell is possible that a(ny) character has an unescapable loop?
You can already backdash everything but the low

I like how every thread has a subzero got nerfed and isnt top tier segment.
And I love how the Sub Zero community always gets blamed for it, when in reality it's always his haters. I said that I didn't want to use Sub Zero as an example simply because I wanted to avoid someone starting this argument about him being top tier when it's really all just opinions that we've all heard a million times, with absolutely no supporting evidence. In response, someone singles out the fact that I asked NOT to use him as an example because of this reason (out of post making a completely different statement relevant to the thread) shares his opinion that sub-zero is top tier with no supporting evidence, the argument begins as usual, and now of course:

Can we just ban Sub-Zero mains?
We have posts like this.

Just moronic.

It is foolish to assume that a character requires good tournament placements to be classified as top tier, just as it is to assume that theory fighting determines how good a character is. Think where Cyrax, Batgirl and Kenshi were a month into their respective lives. Also bare in mind that the character was a month old before he got nerfed.

Evidence is sparse because there simply wasn't enough time for a lot of tournaments. If you look at all the characters in vanilla objectively, GM Sub Zero was obviously up there with the top tier. You can't just rely on tournament placements to tell you whether a character is good or not. I'm not surprised that I'm having this discussion with a Sub player though.

I will admit that I was wrong with my making waves statement.

Sure, but while he may have very well been top tier, it's highly subjective and a topic of hot debate unlike virtually any other example, and it also has no supporting tournament evidence unlike virtually every other example, hence why I didn't think it was a good impartial example.

Kenshi recieved massive amount of buffs to get where he is so not a good example.

Your Hellfire one was good however. I'd forgot about him.

The only morality in a cruel world is chance.
I remember you told Pig and I that no top player will place with shinnok. lolol
I said that before his most recent changes, like the Deity string being cancelable and such....

Edit: I forgot the lolol at the end. Sorry.
