Do a JI2 then divekick then NJP RC 3,4 upkick for more optimal combos

when doing that what is the timing to stay on the same side versus switching sides

 

[Omgblaze1995]

Just do a regular JI2(no RC) divekick to stay on same side. For the crossup timming you want to run and make sure your JI2 hits the opponent in the back of the head then divekick. Practice the timming and youll see the position of the bow determines if it will crossup or not.

Do you guys find that you lose a lot of air to air collisions? It may be because of KJ's floaty jump, but I find that the vast majority of the time that I forward jump at the same time as the opponent, they will hit first and I get salty af. Of course NJP is a general exception to this, but I am mainly referring to situations where both characters forward jump at the same time. It may be because I usually try to divekick or ji1 rather than a simple ji3 or ji4. Or maybe I just need to stay grounded more lol.

Sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose some, i also need to practice staying grounded more and just reacting with u1 into full combo. Its a safer bet then trying to go air to air and risk losing. Also i hope they fix his NJP bug where it whiffs for no reason if they are in the air with you.

Yeah I noted the NJP whiff issue above, i've noticed it whiffs a lot when they are in the air with you, the bo staff appears to go to the right or left of them even though the fuckin timing is right

 

[Omgblaze1995]

Yeah its mad weird. I know this might sound weird giving that kung jin's NJP is so good, but i dont think kung jin should really enter the air at all in neutral if there isnt a fireball being thrown of course. As good as his NJP is i feel he has a lot of good anti air tools were we dont have to risk a trade or being hit first. Like 1, 11, u1 ,f2 will knock people out the air if timed right, cr jab can anti air beautifully with the right spacing, and doing raw upkick is a good anti air as well. Once a kung jin player conditions the opponent to not jump then its party time for us .

Yeah, my only issue with raw upkick is that the startup is so long that it is tough to pull off on reaction once the opponent has already become airborne. I find that you have to do it in anticipation of them jumping, but otherwise its too late.

Hey sorry i have not replied to anyone in a while. But to answer all questions about Shaolin Kung Jin i will be making "The Advanced Shaolin Kung JIn Guide" as soon as i get back to YOMI this thursday. Thanks you guys all for your patience!

Where's that guide you promised bro?

 

[TackyHaddock]

so I just played a long set with Yomi Glass Sword online. Shaolin vs. Boneshaper Shinnok. I thought I would be 10-0'd given that (1) I consider myself WAY more of a noobish casual than any tournament players, particularly guys in Yomi, etc., and (2) I consider the KJ Shinnok matchup (really any variation of KJ) to be heavily in favor of Shinnok.

Result: I still lost but it was 10-8, pretty damn close. Definitely the best result of my scrubby ass MK career and good news for Shaolin mains everywhere

Funny note about the set: I had my mic on the whole time and Glass Sword did not, so I was literally talking the whole time and he said nothing. We messaged good game to each other after all of that tho, lol

Cool. I have both consoles, but I almost always play on PS4 because of the better connection. I will try xbone again with a wired connection to see if that helps.

Yeah I went to Radio Shack the other day to buy a wire and they were out of stock. Stupid ass radio shack, bankrupt mothafuckas making me suffer with lag for longer mannn

 

[SilverHaze]

So i picked up Shaolin and noticed that there was barely any info on Combos and BnBs
's! I made a combo video showing itfor people who may want to try him out.

If You want notations for anything tell me.

 

[InstantOG]

I love this variation. I've been destroying sub zeros (my bojutsu nightmare) and having a lot more fun in other match ups.

 

[Omgblaze1995]

What ya'll know bout that ANCESTRAL THO!

 

[Zedzs]

Someone should get a guide thread going for this variation, I'm sick of the Bojutso Master Race!

Slayer said he's going to create a Shaolin guide, but no word on when he's going to post it.

I may make a guide thread myself, I'll spend a couple hours in the lab throughout this week and see if I can buld on the knowledge I already have.
