Klassic Tower (Hard) Corrupted Shinnok

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some tips/patterns/strategies for beating Corrupted Shinnok on Hard, Klassic Ladder.

I'm playing on the PC version and my main is Mileena (Ravenous).

I can beat him, but it usually takes about two to four continues, and I want to drop that down to no continues.

My biggest problem is not his flame attack; as I can usually just role under it if I'm fast enough or Block it provided it's not EX, it's that I find it hard to keep pressure on him when he's usually EX Shoulder Charging me or Command Grabbing me when I'm coming in after a hard knock down.

Mortal Kombat bosses always have patterns to learn, trying to figure out his.

Thanks!

Pick Full Auto Jacqui and df2 every single character you fight against until you win. They either get hit by it or block it nonstop. You pretty much can't lose.

If they get close, EX it to push them back further. The AI is dumb against her Hand Cannon.

Thanks man, though I'm actually looking for general strategies that can apply to multiple characters, and also Mileena strats since she's my main.

Constant Sai Blasts tend not to work well against Corrupted Shinnok!

He's actually easy. Never had any problems with any character so long as you don't play his game. With mileena I just constant safe pressure and wait for punishes :p

Pokes and jabs. B12 hit confirm into block/30 percent combo. F12B3 for mixups. and 123/124 for slapping :p just beginner basic stuff for mileena. make sure to block and read appropriatley and punish for optimal damage.

Thanks! I've found pokes don't work so well on Hard as the AI here seems to input read. I've mainly been trying to F4, so I can hopefully Ball Roll after.

1,2,3 I've found very effective against the Hard AI overall due to the fast start up; I'm using it more. Conversely, F3,4 seems horrible against the Hard AI due to it's slow start up.

I should use B1,2~Ball Roll more, but every time I do it I instinctively Throw so I can start neck chomping!

Basically, I need to work on those reads for him. Getting the latest patches I'm sure will help as well, as the PC version doesn't have both June balance patches, and at least one Hotfix from May yet :(. That should hopefully come on Tuesday.

Thanks again!

Just try over and over, there really was no specific technique for me, you just get used to the matchup and eventually win lol I haven't tried with Mileena yet but I can best him with my Slasher on Very Hard

Thanks! And yes, I can beat him, but it takes me about two to four tries each time. Trying to level up and beat him on my first, or at least, second try!

I'll get there in time!

Oh yeah, I'm not the kind of guy that blames the game for my own failings and need to practice. I absolutely need to work on my execution and reads more, as well as other things.

And I will get there, it'll just take time and, of course, practice!
