Sheeva Discussion Thread

[Koor]

so was the teli-stomp "held" ... it felt like the beat was a little long before she dropped?

Thats what im curious about aswell. If it CAN be delayed, cool. An added mindgame. But if thats the default length of time for the drop? OOF.

Sheeva's fire moves tossed the opponent to the other side of the screen, so I wonder if she has a zoning variation, because that seems like the worst idea for a grappler.

I think the use for it may be from half screen into corner. You wouldnt want to use it to push them out full screen

I am here to bring some good news that the beautiful and lovely Stephanie told me: Sheeva wont be bottom tier.

 

[Chi-khan]

To me it looked like her grabs were hit-grabs? It looked like they were all combo enders and not actual cmd grabs like Barakas bf4.

It does look like she has some overheads in her strings and if what ign said was true, that she has overhead and low "grabs", it would make sense that these are hit grabs and not true cmd grabs. Then the idea would be to just cancel her stings for 50/50s overhead/low.... we'll see. I definitely want to see some more gameplay.

Not gonna lie...
She is the most impressive one during the trailer, for me.
You really feel the brute force in her animations.

I just want her to be intimidating. I want to walk people into the corner because they dont want to get within arms reach.

I was thinking that too. It might be a variation thing, kind of like Jokers projectile cancel.

I think I'm one of the oldest Sheeva fans here.
Very loyal to her since '95.
And I remember each and every fan/main of her back in the mk9 days where we were flooding her threads with everything, mostly why she had the most bad MUs lol
But still, we were repping her as much as possible.
Words can't describe how I feel about her triumphant return.
I really hope they do her justice this time.
We don't want REO posting a vid of how bad she is in another game, do we?

God I miss MK9 days. As much as she sucked I still stuck it out with her online against all those Kabals and Kung Laos. Planning to do the same this time <3

So, gear. Fujin has his sword/scabbard, crossbow and bracers. What will Sheeva's be? Shield, for sure. Hair or headpiece, from the looks of the trailer. But the third?

I’m guessing the third will be gauntlets or bracers or whatever they are, since almost every character that has those you can customize

Less than two weeks till we can dog walk and telestomp haters. We're getting there.

 

[Trustful_Whale]

Move aside Chun Li...

 

[SoapBar]

Ten more days till we can dog walk and telestomp haters. We're getting there.

What was that math, henny?

It's the 14th. We're getting Aftermath on the 26th.

My brain is trying to accelerate the arrival of happiness and work deadlines got me fucked up lol.

THE TIME HAS COME

AND SO HAVE I

I hope her grabs are more akin to the combo grabs characters like D'Vorah, Jax, Kano Ripper and Shao have (example 1, 2, 1+3) instead of the typical command grab like Kotal (D, B, F moves). I'm not very good with D, B, F command grabs.

She's my most anticipated character of the three, and I would be devastated if she's bottom tier. Thankfully, it sounds like there's hope she won't be.

 

[NorthernLadMSP]

BTW, do you guys think her Telestomp will track the opponent, or will we have to enter directional inputs?

It will track. They will have to block, at which point she will be like -10,000 and eat a full combo.

So, similar to D'Vorah's Widow's Kiss or Noob's Teleport. That's good, I am hoping it's not a directional input.

Nah good ol down up has always been a "Shes going to drop right ontop of you but it's pretty reactable"

The Shokan telestomp has always been unblockable in every game a Shokan had been playable as recently as MKX and we have no reason to believe it will be any different this time. Goro and Sheeva also last two games can diirect it and it's usually just punishable on whiff which may be why it is slower too.

 

[Tertian]

I suspect her telestomp and ground pound stomp are interchangeable, but you won't have both.

Don't know what I was thinking about then. My bad for the incorrect assumption!

That makes sense. I also hope she has a base projectile (even if it's not the fancy one in the trailer) in all variations. I really cannot stand the fact that Sindel only has one in V3, when she's had one in every single game she's ever been playable in.
