General/Other - Shinnok Everything wrong with Shinnok.

xInfra Deadx

Gimmick stolen by Jordan Peele
SPOILERS!!!

(duh)

Warner Brother studios!

Netherrealm Studios.

Bone Hand entrance.

“The legacy of life is death.” Why are the Elder Gods so damn preachy, anyway?

We interrupt Mortal Kombat X to bring you The Matrix…or is it Matrix reload-ah fuck it.

Shinnok becomes a Pokemon.

Shinnok is never heard from until the end of Chapter 9 until Quan Chi finally lets him out…I got a weird resemblance from Resident Evil: Afterlife all of a sudden…

“How small, they are”

Biggest waste of opportunity. You stunned everyone in sight and don’t have the common courtesy to finish them off? You’re too busy toying with Johnny when the whole opposition could have been exterminated for good.

Raiden is completely oblivious to the fact that Shinnok has been let out of his amulet and is wreaking havok on the Special Forces, good lord your oversight is appaling, even for a god.

…yeah, good luck with that now.

Even Shinnok sees that Bo Rai Cho in Kombat Pack 2 is probably not the best of ideas.

Premature celebration.

I can’t be the only one that thought of Dark Kahn when I first saw his corrupted form. I sure as hell hope he doesn’t have unblockables by the time I face him…

No Elder Gods come in and try to stop him as he’s taunting them.

Menstruating clouds.

Why does he stop blasting Johnny Cage??? FINISH HIM OFF ALREADY!!!

Fuck these unblockable attacks!

Corrupted Shinnok getting his ass handed by a FUCKING HIPSTER.

By seeing his decapitated head is pretty much a teaser that he might be in the next Mortal Kombat…well that’s wishful thinking as I know NRS is gonna do pretty much anything to keep him off for another 3 sequels.

Samurai Skin. An Elder God as a Samurai…there’s something wrong with how it sounds.

Pope Hat.

Being told this character is going to struggle and may be one of the worst characters in the game right off the bat.

Having no overhead day 1.

Was unable to enhance Sparks day 1.

2,2 string.

3,1,2 string.

B1.

Bottom 2 projectile in Bone Shaper. Speaking of which, re-stand was nearly useless and had no advantage at the time.

Fucking Necromancer…

Speaking of which, bone hands!

F2,(2,4) whiffs.

Did I mention that he stole Jax’s Ground Pound (Impostor) back then…well there was the closest to Cyrax you are ever going to get in Mortal Kombat X…and even back then he was still a pile of shit compared to the other 50-50 characters.

For the reasons above were the main reasons why he was the worst character in the game at the time…due to being one of the last characters designed…and I am not okay with that. Especially when you’re supposed to be THE BIG BAD OF THIS GAME.

Enhanced Sparks buff is when the Shinnok community started to go downhill…and by Shinnok community I mean all of TYM.

6/23 patch…or as it was called: The Wave of Shinnok Players…or up until he gets nerfed over a month later…as TYM goes batshit crazy.

All aboard the Shinnok bandwagon…or at least…up until he got nerfed.

Speaking of the 6-23 patch, sexist combos in Necromancer. Thanks. At least the variation is more usable at this point which is more than I can say.

Jacqui, Tanya, Sonya and D’Vorah running right through Bone Grab. Thanks again…

“Only one Bone Shaper and everyone else are imitations…”

“I invented the overhead.”

“I invented the 50-50‘s.”

“Drink bleach and die…”

“Innovator“

“I put him on the map-no you did not! NRS did that for you and the rest of the Shinnok community. You did not “make” Shinnok because of one tournament.

Did I mention that you mentioned a mod to…uh, for the sake of this thread…and avoiding possible infractions, that this sentence shall not be finished. Let’s just turn the sin count up to 50 and be on with it…

“I have no options” wins EGL. I have to take a sin off for representing this character well, but adding another 5 sins for “no options.”

http://testyourmight.com/threads/how-the-community-sees-shinnok-mirrors.54322/ This is not how we see Shinnok mirrors.

9-1 patch hits…and the bandwagon has derailed at last…but not before “no options” calls the character “mid tier.”

Why is B3 going the wrong way all of a sudden??? I mean it’s fixed now, but damn.

One more sin being removed for this character winning the big exhibition versus the Burger King.


Sin count: 100

Sentence: The Fallen Elder God falls further…
 
Great write up! Agree with most stuff as a day 1 Impostor main)))
NRS buff Impostor !! Or at least give him Enhanced variation exclusive specials.

I Break Hearts, Not Combos
He should've gotten more shinnok in the story yes.

Also eff you Cassie and the Cage Klan are kool.

It was funny how he just kept fucking Raiden up though
