What would cause them to be nerfed? F4 has long startup and on hit SK can D1, grab or F3.We should be prepared however for F4 and 44 to get nerfed in terms of plus frames if they do decide to change Shao Kahn. As being +6 on block is ridiculous in a more competitive focused fighting game and it's not difficult to get to those plus frames either.
The startup doesn't really matter as you're mostly going to be using it after landing a B4 which guarantees F4 as it gives you 28+ frames of advantage on hit. This allows you to easily set up F4.What would cause them to be nerfed? F4 has long startup and on hit SK can D1, grab or F3.
Hes not getting anything amazing off of it. So many characters have staggers,crazy pressure or fast plus nornals I dont see y they would change F4.
True even in the neutral its good, just dash in F4 covers almost half the screen and you get a hard Knockdown or +6 on block. They might nerf to +4 like Sub Zero. Ill be okay with thatThe startup doesn't really matter as you're mostly going to be using it after landing a B4 which guarantees F4 as it gives you 28+ frames of advantage on hit.

If you land a hit with F4 a D1 is a waste. Go for B4 again, F3 and grab like you said or you can do hop overhead. You are getting free pressure off of it which is always good and is the only time Shao Kahn is the one actually applying pressure as all his other tools leave him negative on block.
This is why I suspect that F4 will be nerfed. It is very easy to set up due to B4 and leads to great pressure. Having a +6 on block being guaranteed off of a set-up is absurdly good.
I'm not calling for nerfs. I'm simply considering what will be nerfed if they do end up buffing him. If they buff him without any nerfs on his strong points he could become a balance problem due to how good F4 and B4 are. As those two specific moves are what keep him viable.Please stop calling for Shao Kahn nerfs he doesn’t need any nerfs thanks
People already know Shao Kahn's up hammer is punishable. There is literally no reason to use this unless you're up against someone who doesn't know the matchup and even then they can easily just uppercut you out of it which will still trade in their favor.
Delay wakeup and full punish f4. No reason to nerf it.Actually now that I mentioned it. I wouldn't be surprised if B4 gets hit. As it is literally Shao Kahn's best and most important tool for dealing pressure.
But you can jump projectiles, you just have to time it to be at the top of the arcThe amount of truth hurts my soul.
F4 is not free after sweep when there are delayed get up, wake up, and roll to consider. I actually do not like to make that commitment at all. If i want to meaty normal rise after a knockdown i am doing it with something safer like f3 or sweep or throw. F4 I like to use when i am trying to bait a wake up, roll, or delay wake up because I can back off a little bit to create that space then try to meaty the recovery on the wake up/roll/delay get up with the f4 instead since it will advance and reclose that distance. Then you are only doing the f4 once they have committed to a get up option and not before when they still have multiple options outThe startup doesn't really matter as you're mostly going to be using it after landing a B4 which guarantees F4 as it gives you 28+ frames of advantage on hit.
