Necromancer due to this move:

It's the same move he had in MKA and I mained Shinnok in that game. I'm not too impressed with his specials though, which worries me. He's basically a Shang Tsung copy in that respect. Well, the up fireballs, that is. His shoulder rush move isn't exactly impressive. He's a sorcerer afterall...

Oh well, I'll wait and see come 4/14!
 
Imposter. Seeing that Sub-zero combo where he stole the iceball->combo and stole his iceball again sold me on Shinnok.

Well, I was going to main him after seeing the leak with the shitty version of his costume. The stuff he was wearing in the stream looked AMAZING. And I think they got the same voice actor from the MK9 ending. Love the way he talks (and the way it sounds) after performing a grab.
 
Imposter. The idea of having unique combos for each opponent is an intriguing and fun concept. It's much more simplified than previous iterations of Shang Tsung's mimicry, in fact it seems more like Kirby than Shang Tsung.

I just really wish I could have seen the teleport.

I really like the idea of Imposter, although that one also would take the most skill to master.

Guise... It's "Impostor" with an O, not an E.

Anyway: That variation reminds me of Shang Tsung, so I'll go for that one if I find Shinnok to be a character I enjoy playing as.

I like Bone Shaper, because I'm an ex Aquaman player, so, the scoop move got me.
But Necromancer and Impostor are awesome as well, so, all of them!

The smart stuff!
Imposter variation sounds like fun.
My personal favourite so far is Necromancer. I hope this flick move can be activated from some distance, for it looked a bit slow. In mix with bitch slap X-ray this makes Shinnok one pugnacious son of a mother.

I like Shinnok's Imposter variation the most, not only looks like fun but it can lead to creative/flashy combos situations depending on the opponent's character. It also has some degree of mastery, which makes it more interesting IMO.

I also like his Necromancer variation as well.

I really enjoyed Necromancer because that fells the most like vintage Shinnok. I also think he has a lot more utilization of tools than the kombat cast let on because the player was having difficulty with his execution.
 
i will likely have to settle for this bag of bones since my babygirl isn't making it in to the roster.

which of course means i will spam imposter until my wrists crumble

.... they mostly come at night. Mostly.
impostor ..... imo Shinnok is being underestimated, because there was a poor gameplay demonstration what they did in kombat kast .... once the game come out, people surely will find dirty tricky stuff in lab with this character, hehe :p

Imposter looks like the most interesting and creative variation for Shinnok to me. I also like Necromancer but I think that his boney arms look kind of silly in that variation :p
 
Necromancer. The one thing I remember Shinnok from mk4 were those huge skeleton hands that squash and squeeze people, so I'm glad they added a variation that focuses on that.
