How are you getting a rest and from Straight skulls.?
How are you getting a rest and from Straight skulls.?
We didn't get what we wanted, but we got what we needed.
I know this was a mistag, but this would be an interesting way to get somebody into a money match
Ummm I'm not really sure what you are asking but I think he's just saying end your strings into straight skull in the corner. Will be more consistent from different strings due to the hurtbox/hitstun changes
Ohh ok I thought he meant you could juggle into restand with straight skull. But yeah its just 16-20% off his normals for a bar. Good though cuz it basically jails into F2 unless they jump which only takes 3f to evade I think. But SS-restand into B1/s3/F2 pretty good.
I’ve been finishing most of mt combos with straight skulls amplified, those +frames are very good, and in the corner you get a free mix.
Is this what tym is all about? People picking fights over an opinion of a character? Don't tag me in this shit if your just trying to pick fights.
That would make it an 11 frame mid with good range which leads to his biggest midscreen damage.
Good thinking, yea they need to give at least 3% back, but don't be too loud or the Nerf stans will come running. I literally just said how hard of a time i was having winning with him now and had a couple people try to pick fights with me. Everyone needs to be more constructive instead of trying to pick fights because they have differing opinions.
Noooo, you don't want any character in the game that strong man lol. You don't give any character a super fast outranging mid. That's exactly what I was going to say though. Would make me happy but then you could just cheese matches out all day.
Weird, I went to post on this post last night and this guys post this morning and it just now posted the other here.
Yea that would work, but now with the damage reduction it's not worth the bar. You can do any starter into amp gs into 4 gs and if you time it right, f24 will hit them whether they do u2 or u3 but don't do it near the corner because midscreen it makes it really hard to punish if they roll but near the corner of they roll they have a year and a half to punish you. If they don't use a wake up you hit confirm into 2 or 3 depending if you think your opponent is going to try to fb, if it connects then you hit confirm into gs for another combo. That's good tech on reads and if you use it sparingly then the fast knockdown will catch most people off guard, but with his damage reduction in most circumstances it won't be worth the bar unless they do something like wake up 3 all day long.
No way in any shape or form am I trying to pick a fight with you, that's beneath me and childish. I do understand that discussion in text form may convey a different response then talking face to face, so it may sound like I was trying to pick a fight but I wasn't.
We just have differing opinions on this. I was just stating my opinion being a main of shang tsung I have played almost nobody but shang exclusively since he came out. I don't believe damage should at all be the same across the bored. At high level play, things are always different. There is a reason that baraka gets amazing damage. It's because it's alot harder to open people up with baraka and you can block everything he has with low over head. So even if they brought barakas damage down to roughly 30% he would be shit. Anyone can argue all day that he would still be viable, but at a higher tournament level of play he would be worthless. Can you still win matches with him? Sure if you make flawless reads and make alot less mistakes as your opponent but I wouldn't ever play him. All I know is in Kombat league on demigod and with my friends that play higher level I was winning more than I was losing and it was still really hard and read dependent to get those wins with shang most matches with hardly any life left or if I lost , winning by a sliver. Now with shang I am losing more than I was winning and when I lose the match and i see their life bar with 10-12-15-5% it really pissed me off because I realized that given the fact that i wouldn't have to do two extra combos i would have won all of those matches. I used to crunch numbers for a living. I played pro poker and a two in five compared to a one in three is a big big deal. It was just my opinion, but it seems alot of people have salt. What's funny though is at higher level game play. Nobody has any trouble getting in on shang at all because they lab it up. Another thing is. A foxy grampa won dragon, shang vs cetrion. Go back and watch those matches. Most of them he barely won and if he had to get two more touches on dragon he wouldn't have won those matches. I will try to get shang to work and keep learning but if this persists,then I am dropping him for a character that can actually compete at a high level of play.
I'd just like to clarify that i don't think he's been made low tier, i just think the damage nerf was a tad heavy handed. I notice it especially when using b1d2 KB, which i think should have gotten 30 extra damage to make up for it.
I'm pretty sure properly spaces ground skulls are safe and can't be dash through after first hit b anyone. If the GS is placed on the very front tip of their foot it catches them during the dash Even Noob, Sub and Scorpion who could before.
It's definitely better than people give credit for but he may have a couple buns matchups with characters who are good at dealing with Flames, but then again, if they are good against flames they are probably good against Ground Inferno. Nerfing Scorpion's teleport was a huge help for what may have been his worst matchup. Now their damage is on somewhat equal footing, Soultaker/Spellmaster probably has a little more in the corner and Warlock is better in midscreen there.
