Wound and Mustard are dedicated high level Bone Shaper Shinnok players and they attended Evo. There were many other good players playing him in this tournament. If anything this thread was created to point out how the fact that all BS Shinnoks did well in pools is a testament to him being broken. According to that same logic the fact that none of them even the ones who placed at evo before have made Top 8 is a testament to the character being balanced.
Exactly, but the argument about him being broken because of a lot of BS making out of pools is equally silly.
The only people who complain are people who don't play the game. It's obvious that the majority of the Capcom crowd doesn't like MK simply because it's not made by Capcom so all they do is bitch about the game and say it's dead due to "overpatching" without even looking at the benefits that the patches have.
If I had said that Shinnok was broken or unbeatable, I would apologize. Besides, players like Cowboy, DetroitBalln, and D. R. will place top 8 at a major off-line event sooner than later so you will look like a fool.
I disagree. I don't think that's really the answer as to what needs changed. I think the hellspark MB is what really needs to be looked at. +14 from +24 is definitely nerfed, but you can still do guaranteed chip damage loops, which is a problem in itself just because it opens up a lot of pressure because you literally can't do anything. Characters don't need guaranteed chip damage strings like that.
No. Cowboy has been through three characters already, and just started playing Shinnok a few weeks ago. I don't know about Mustard. Which is my point.
Wound has been playing Shinnok at least for month and a half now since Shinnok has got his first buffs. And Mustard played him since day one!
Oh, so you agree that he is strong but not to the point of OP?!
No, DJT played BS at Yomi, but he hasn't touched him at Evo yet.
No. The two that could have made it to top 8 were eliminated in top 16.
You will have to take it away from other characters like Tempest and Kobu Jitsu.
A month and a half? I'd have to go back n check that. Either way, my point still stands.
Bro Cyrax isn't that good. Where are all the Cyrax's in Top 8?!? Top 10, but definitely not Top 5.
thanks, wasn't sure about MIT and DJT.
I don't think they have any intentions of playing BS Shinnok, and if they do, they deserve the 3 Stooges treatments.
you bet your ass I am. I was happy playing my impostor, chilling with a char that was considered bottom 5 (but totally wasn't, he is post nerf tho) and now I can't play impostor cuz my game plan was around those HLs, so I switched to bone shaper and got all the hate becuase of a bunch of idiots that played tanya a week ago just to switch to bone shaper now. and I'm upset for Mustard too, with Brady talking shit about bone shaper while Mustard was playing. ffs Mustard played him when he was so bad that nobody even considered him, not even me.
I should have used the
Lol I feel you, but that's how these things go. I went through it in Street Fighter. Played Cammy since I was a kid, but then people thought I was tier whoring lol.
