"you can react to people unblocking"
Not going to argue against this exactly, but he's definitely not up there on his own. Warlock Quan instantly comes to mind when thinking about this, him and BS are pretty similar characters.
yeah, you can, i catch people all the time with that."you can react to people unblocking"
At least you have meterless combos.
Warlock is my secondary and belive me, he's not even close.
literally HOW have you not noticed how late you can do that? you are a shinnok MAIN FUCKING HOW did you not figure this out?
because we are still talking about the 2nd HL dude, wake up!
While yeah, Quan does have meterless combos, they both have to spend meter for the same things: Making mixups plus on block, armored reversal, zoning and getting any high damage. I know that Quan gets better damage meterless than Shinnok but that's literally the only difference in their meter game. I'd also argue that BS Shinnok's meterbuild is a tad better than Warlock, but I haven't played BS in a while so I could be wrong on that one.
I dunno dude, I'm not seeing that much of a difference.
HL? the fuck does HL mean?
Hell Spark, the move is called Hell SparkS, so I guess the single little ball is called a "Hell Spark".
wouldnt the abbreviation be HS then? since capital letters represent different words usually. but yeah you can still mb if they dont continue to block they will get hit by the MB so they have to respect your hellsparks when you have meter so therefor whenever you have meter as long as you end blocked strings with hellsparks, you are safe
Well the meterless combos are kind of a huge deal. ~30% with Warlock compared to ~15% with BS is considerable to say the least.
His 1-bar BnB does as much as your meterless BnB. Anyway this is isn't related to meter-dependency so back to the point...
good point on the abbreviation, I always used HLs, but maybe HSs is more correct.
I do agree with what you said, just not quite to the same degree. BS is definitely more meter dependant than Warlock I can see that much now, I still don't think it's by a huge margin though. BS damage is pretty ass but Warlock's meterless damage isn't great midscreen either. In the corner it's a bit of an improvement but midscreen he gets low 30s off his low (which is decent I admit) but I don't think he even cracks 30s off his unsafe B2.Well the meterless combos are kind of a huge deal. ~30% with Warlock compared to ~15% with BS is considerable to say the least.
Also you talk about both of them needing meter to get any high damage. Bone Shaper and high damage? Don't make me cry
Without meter BS loses his Hell Sparks which is a big chunk of his neutral/midscreen gameplay. I think Warlock can handle himself better without meter in the neutral.
but even though you laughed at me for saying it but look at the opponent and if they stop blocking react to it and you can punish them for not respecting you. nubcakes does it to me all the time, i do it to other people all the time ONLINE on reaction all the time. so yeah, safe
do f4xxHLs on block to me, I garantee that you will get punished if you don't MB it.
i guarantee you that if you move within that time where you can punish me you will get punished with the mb
FTFY
If Shinnok had a bar, and unless you're using armor to punish, I don't see how that's possible.
