Well I mean, I've played him here and there and I know some skullercoaster combos but im talking legit learn him as a Co-main or secondary. Like im really interested in the next couple videos if they're about his pressure game and his footsies. :)

Khaotic_xShangx ... Hurry up! :p
i'm sure the videos will be great. shang has a great d4 and d3; his d1 is also top-notch. i hope Khaotic_xShangx also discusses his 1,2,1 string...quite safe, fast, and includes a nasty overhead!! btw 'skullercoaster'?!LOL my personal favorite is upskull, jp, 2,2,1,med ground skull, far ground skull, EN ground skull, close ground skull, 4, EN ground skull, flaming skull or soul steal. 16 hits, 51%!! the final EN ground skull is actually unnecessary; it only results in 2% extra damage (use regular far ground skull instead) but it is so sexy and stylish and and boss!!

Skullercoaster indeed! B/c they ride the skulls like a rollercoaster! lmao

His combos are so fun to do. But I know the combos, I need to learn his pressure game, that's what I'm looking forward to. Like when you go into F4 GS, best times to use soul steal in pressure, etc.

i explained in this guide about 121 and 122 of there uses but i will go into a little more detail in part 2. they shouldnt be used much because the 12 hits high and can miss on certain low hitbox characters and the last hit of each string can be armored out off. also my 51% i was going to show next guide is upskull, jip, 221 mgs, exgs, walk back, uppercut, 12, f43 SS all with one bar of meter.

lol...it not impossible but hard as hell to time. I can get it like 4/5 times i try it now cause i got the walk back distance and uppercut timing down pretty good. I will show it in the 3rd vid so everyone sees what it looks like. That 51% is just pure swag.

Nah. If anybody else it should be woundcowboy. They have been using him longer and have been more successful with him.
