Just because he didn't win everything doesn't mean he didn't make waves. He was a seriously good character, people are high if they're pretending that he wasn't all that.Where did GM Sub make waves...?

Ending with Dark Beam is +8 on hit. f4 has 7 frames of start-up. No meter required jailing.It's simple...USE ARMOR! And his meter is the only thing that saves him. With no meter he can't jail you lol.
Never mind winning, he didn't even place well in the few tournaments we had before he was nerfed. How is that making waves? If anything it was all just speculation and theory fighting.Just because he didn't win everything doesn't mean he didn't make waves.

Posted May 7, 2015. Suck my dick, TYM!!Wait, what? Bone Shaper is like a million times better than Imposter.
For as good as both players are every shinnok just needs to block low and stay safe to beat kitana, don't take risks duck kitana's fans and react to her mids. Kitana is not a good character, sonic fox is just extremely talented.Did people not see Sonic Fox beat Mustard with Kitana or are we just going to ignore that?
This is what I've been asking from the start, for some evidence, he's ignoring this and saying the words but providing none. I can provide evidence of practically any any other top tier character back then being top tier, if there is evidence of Sub being top tier why doesn't he provide some?Where did GM Sub make waves...?
So you are admitting you have nothing to support this claim and it's merely your opinion? If you didn't have anything to support it I don't know why you have bothered to contest this, the statement was never that he wasn't top tier, just that there is no actual evidence of him being top tier so I didn't want to use him as an example seeing as it's a highly debatable topic to which one sides has absolutely no supporting evidence as you just proved.Just because he didn't win everything doesn't mean he didn't make waves.

I forgot about that. Still, it's not as bad as people think it is.Ending with Dark Beam is +8 on hit. f4 has 7 frames of start-up. No meter required jailing.
Bruh are you forgetting the GGA invitationalNever mind winning, he didn't even place well in the few tournaments we had before he was nerfed. How is that making waves? If anything it was all just speculation and theory fighting.
But the evidence for Hell Fire was just MIT?This is what I've been asking from the start, for some evidence, he's ignoring this and saying the words but providing none.

You saw its potential, Bill. You have the sight.@General M2Dave I'd also like to nominate @xInfra Deadx to be thrown into the pit of filthy fuccboi bone shaper downplayers.

That was before Boneshaper got buffed. I think Boneshaper was always the best variation, but not a million times better. On a scale of 1-10 pre patch, I believe it was Necro - 4, Imposter - 6, Boneshaper - 7. Post patches: Necro - 7, Imposter - 8, Boneshaper - 9.Also this:

And Hellfires prominence and placings. These 3 things are probably enough and INFINITELY more than Sub-Zero has which is absolutely nothing, which is evidence that supports him NOT being to per tier more than anything. But regardless I never said that there was evidence of hellfire being top tier and getting nerfed, you said that and are taking the fact that I didn't disagree with it as me agreeing, I simply didn't comment yet so you can't use this as a counterBut the evidence for Hell Fire was just MIT?
Regardless, I'm not about to make this thread about other characters. It's about Shinnok and should remain so.
Exactly.Never mind winning, he didn't even place well in the few tournaments we had before he was nerfed. How is that making waves? If anything it was all just speculation and theory fighting.
You made the mistake of disagreeing with me that day, but no worries; all is forgiven. The all-seeing eye blesses you once more.You saw its potential, Bill. You have the sight.
The words you're looking for are, "omg u were totes right Bill!"That was before Boneshaper got buffed. I think Boneshaper was always the best variation, but not a million times better.

You can already backdash everything but the lowjust put gaps here and there so backdashes/armored moves could be an option just like each other character and shinnok gets normalized without being raped by the nerf bat
even tempest lao first week was horrible because no one could escape that hat pressure, put shinnok in the same situation for god's sake
how in the hell is possible that a(ny) character has an unescapable loop?
And I love how the Sub Zero community always gets blamed for it, when in reality it's always his haters. I said that I didn't want to use Sub Zero as an example simply because I wanted to avoid someone starting this argument about him being top tier when it's really all just opinions that we've all heard a million times, with absolutely no supporting evidence. In response, someone singles out the fact that I asked NOT to use him as an example because of this reason (out of post making a completely different statement relevant to the thread) shares his opinion that sub-zero is top tier with no supporting evidence, the argument begins as usual, and now of course:I like how every thread has a subzero got nerfed and isnt top tier segment.
We have posts like this.Can we just ban Sub-Zero mains?
It is foolish to assume that a character requires good tournament placements to be classified as top tier, just as it is to assume that theory fighting determines how good a character is. Think where Cyrax, Batgirl and Kenshi were a month into their respective lives. Also bare in mind that the character was a month old before he got nerfed.And Hellfires prominence and placings.

Exactly.
This is just your personal opinion Phos. You might feel super confident and sure about it, but that doesn't make any hard evidence, and other people feel just as strongly about the opposite.
If you didn't want to offtrack this thread, you probably shouldn't have singled out the statement "there is no evidence SubZero was TOp tier" and dragged it out for a page while still, not providing any evidence. That's a disagreeing opinion, not evidence.
I remember you told Pig and I that no top player will place with shinnok. lololYou saw its potential, Bill. You have the sight.
Sure, but while he may have very well been top tier, it's highly subjective and a topic of hot debate unlike virtually any other example, and it also has no supporting tournament evidence unlike virtually every other example, hence why I didn't think it was a good impartial example.It is foolish to assume that a character requires good tournament placements to be classified as top tier, just as it is to assume that theory fighting determines how good a character is. Think where Cyrax, Batgirl and Kenshi were a month into their respective lives. Also bare in mind that the character was a month old before he got nerfed.
Evidence is sparse because there simply wasn't enough time for a lot of tournaments. If you look at all the characters in vanilla objectively, GM Sub Zero was obviously up there with the top tier. You can't just rely on tournament placements to tell you whether a character is good or not. I'm not surprised that I'm having this discussion with a Sub player though.
I will admit that I was wrong with my making waves statement.
That reminds me that I still need to make a blowup thread for you for the time you said that d4~ms cancel loops in mk9 were a gimmick.I remember you told Pig and I that no top player will place with shinnok. lolol
I said that before his most recent changes, like the Deity string being cancelable and such....I remember you told Pig and I that no top player will place with shinnok. lolol
