Been using Kung Lao because of foxy but im curious to hear about other options
Is there combo benefits or just using him for chip?Shang/Cyrax is also a good team
From what ive seen, it is mostly chip and pressure. But i am sure Cyrax could give him more combo potential due to the chopperIs there combo benefits or just using him for chip?
I use Goro with Shang for all these reasons, but also most importantly, cos they just LOOK right togetherGoro gives:
- some basic extra combo routes
- Combo extension on b223. If nK connects right after the third hit, it pops them up for a follow up for a good 30%+
- It also gives a mixup off b223. Once they start blocking the third hit you can cancel into omelette toss for a full combo.
- combo extension off his 124 and young f34 with dK
- general safety with raise the roof which is super + on block
- stomp is gimmicky but combined with fireballs you can force them to either eat the stomp or do something dumb to try and avoid it
- There's some interaction with raise the roof giving a popup if you time it properly with a sweep. I know Raiden can do this, i assume it's a universal Goro thing, so i need to test this further.
Still trying to find a good use for punchwalk, im guessing it might be handy as a situational reversal cause it does do decent damage and leaves them at full screen.
Goro's basic throw also leaves them full screen which is usually advantageous for Shang.
All in all I'm sticking with Goro cause I like the character, but he's definitely higher risk and I'm not sure the risk is always worth it, at least in competitive environments. The -50 health also hurts and frankly I think it's entirely undeserved when you see Lao and Cyrax with no health modifiers and Sareena giving +50 health on top of her already loaded kit.
Ye, I wanted to use Shang/Motaro cause they look good together but they dont really work together. Kinda hoping they give Stryker a revenant skin so I can head cannon him as my undead slave.I use Goro with Shang for all these reasons, but also most importantly, cos they just LOOK right together
You can fuzzy guard or straight up react to Goro. There is no mix-up. Same thing as scorpion's F Kameo, it's only hitting people cause of built in delay online."- It also gives a mixup off b223. Once they start blocking the third hit you can cancel into omelette toss for a full combo."
What is your combo route after the Omlette Toss for young Shang? always switch to old or?
thanks
This is pretty good,never really considered darrius for shang,i have been using goro and its a really good combo.up punch for chip loops,zoning enhancment as well morph combos,can mix up with goro grab.Nice breakdown it looks like a great alternative for shang worth learning.
Made a video on why Darrius is Shang's best kameo.
Essentially Shang is a complete character and doesn't really need a Kameo. Other Kameo's don't add anything significant to his existing solid gameplan, where Darrius adds a whole new level to his offense, with other nice gimmicks and a + on block armored launcher.
I think there are maybe a few MUs where this isn't the case, but the MUs are bad enough to warrant a total character switch anyway (Ashra, Johnny at least)
I always forget to mention that there is a 100 health difference between Darrius and the ambush/safety Kameos tooThis is pretty good,never really considered darrius for shang,i have been using goro and its a really good combo.up punch for chip loops,zoning enhancment as well morph combos,can mix up with goro grab.Nice breakdown it looks like a great alternative for shang worth learning.
