Question - Shinnok Shinnok (Bone Shaper) Best Anti Air normal?

[EIN]

Hey guys,

Got a quick question on Shinnok (BS). What do you guys use for a reliable normal anti air. Some characters can 1 or D1 a JIP but I'm having a hard time with Shinnok. Is his only AA just the D2? Or if I'm anticipating a jump, hell sparks? Would love some input as I'm really feeling this character and would love to level up!

Thanks,
N

I like hell sparks if you're anticipating it or I just stick with my trusty d2.

Yeah, I kind of figured that's what I have to work with. Characters like Kung Jin can get a 30%+ meterless AA combo off of 1 or D1 so I was hoping someone had some really cool meterless AA tech for Shinnok

Thanks though, man

What Max said.

Shinnok doesn't have meterless damage so don't expect anything of that sort. A hell spark can be MB into a full combo, and you can follow up a D2 with a scoop if it hits high for like 20%.

That D2 into scoop is a nice and easy 20% but they really have to be at the height of their jump for it to work.

Hrmmmm I guess I'll just stick to AA Hell Sparks (MB), NJP, F221+3, Dark Beam for a cool 27% and a standing reset. Sucks that Shinnok needs meter to get decent damage.

Bone Shaper in particular would be insanely strong if he had good meterless damage. So I'm not complaining lol.

Yung Bacon has showed me the way since day 1. He does it all of the time on reaction.

Shinnok's d2 is niiiiiiiice. Hell I'll also just space it a bit and catch them with an f4.

Yung Bacon with the Yung man reactions. I don't think I can pull that off in a million years.
