DR do you think Shinnok needs a sexy screen shake buff?

Not being able to vortex someone to death isn't necessarily a bad thing. Imposter's only truly bad stolen move is Jason's Armor bs. Everything else at least has a use or can be burnt and since b3 is easily punished by most of the cast, I hardly think of him as a vortex character to begin with.
Negative. Let the Blood God players have that when they damage totem so they feel like they're doing something spectacular. We need buffs in the proper areas.
Never said it was a bad thing, I just don't think that he's as effective in matchups where he can't vortex the opponent. I just think Bone Shaper just does well in more matchups. And B3 being punishable doesn't make his vortex less of a vortex lol.
Lol, ok. I forgot I'm campaigning for more buffs.
Since I'm one of those guys that plays like 90% of the cast I've been playing around with him in the lab/at my local/a little bit online (I still don't like playing online much though even though the netcode is better) to see what he's capable of now next to both Bone Shaper and Necromancer too (although I'll always be a Necro main even to the bottom of the garbage pile.....again). Fortunately some people aren't aware that only one jump attack jails into tele~jump attack and that only j1 jails after a j4~tele so I've been getting away with stuff thus far but I'm not taking that into account much since I know I'm getting away with gimmicks. It's just a shame that the rest of TYM also thinks all/most of it jails and that's why people think he's top 5 right now -_- If I had to pick the longest set I played recently it was against an A-List a couple of days ago as Impostor and I don't like that matchup because A. you steal shadow kick and there's no safe way to whiff it so you're forced to get rid of it in a combo usually instead of getting vortex, B. Any Cage that knows the matchup will keep themselves at the right spacing and shadow kick hell sparks on reaction which makes meter building more difficult since using hell sparks is a risk, C. Cage's standing 1 is a godlike anti-air so it's a no-no on teleports even on reaction to him throwing a fireball because he somehow still recovers in time to hit you out of it. One saving grace I've found is that even though his fireballs are fast they're still slow enough that from further away you can usually absorb them with BF1 on reaction to build some meter lol.
So if you don't have extensive time with him, how can you say that Bone Shaper is definitely better? You admit you play 90% of the cast as opposed to me now playing Shinnok exclusively.
How can you say Impostor is definitely better if you don't play Bone Shaper? That argument works both ways. I play a lot of the cast and don't just lab them and go, I try and put in enough time with them too to be able to form an opinion that comes from matchup experience and character knowledge, not just lab time and theory fighting. Shinnok is a character I happen to spend more time with since I like Necromancer but also enjoy playing the other two as well. I don't put in equal time with everyone.
"... I play Shinnok exclusively."
My bad, I thought you said Impostor.
actually....if you do f22~mb hellsparks with impostor, you can do a run cancel into d1 and itll jail, you have to have good timing...but its definitely possible. you can do the same with f4 but its even more tight.
couldnt you do d4 into hellsparks after if you mb the first spark? Also wouldnt f4 work if you run cancel?
no, d4 won't work, its too slow and doesnt reach. only d1 and f4 will work, and f4 can work but its a bit more difficult than d1 because it doesnt quite have as much range and its 1 frame slower.
if anyone else has any disgusting chip set-ups - share!
I have a fuck ton!Alright people let's talk chip set-ups for a second.
I have no idea how much 312xxShoulder does after mimicry...it's a lot I know that much - enough to close a round. BUT, I've been messing around with some stuff. For example, after mimicry:
JI4xxJIP, 312xxHS (MB the 2nd) = about 12.81% chip for a bar.
Forceball will jail into the same thing for around 14-15% chip.
Cassie's chip set-up is atrocious. JI4xxJIp, 312xxGuns is somewhere around 17-18%. Maybe more, I didn't take the calculator to it.
So that's all fun. I've been meaning to test more. I forget if Jax can punish a stolen straight dash punch but if he can't that would probably jail after a MB 2nd spark for additional chip.
Anywho just throwing this here because knowledge is power
Bruh Imposter is the bees knees! Peeps don't know how to guess. Bone Shaper to me will always be fundamentally solid but there's nothing fancy about it - it just has the tools to play the game is all.
u mean throwing out f41 from half screen isnt flashy? ;-;
his DarkBeam was -4 on block but the scrubs couldnt handle it
wish they'd make dark beam -7 or -8 on block instead.
