How do i beat that air teleport move and what kombos and moves are highly punishible
Click to expand...

uppercut him out of it or meet him in the air and njp.

f224 is highly punishable if not cancelled into.

non meter burned hell sparks are also highly punishable especially if the 3rd hit whiffs.

Yeah man I really don't get that. I have him as like 6 or 7 right now. However I suppose Bone Shaper still has great mix-ups, solid pressure, good conversions. That YOMI list also threw me for a loop.

This is the problem, people are still treating characters like they have only one variation and that's stupid. Predator as a character is better than Shinnok as a character.

he lost his guaranteed pressure after a restand or meter burned hell sparks unless the other opponent has no meter, low meterless damage, hell Sparks can be back dashed on 3rd hit, low scoop into any string can be fuzzy guarded ( there may be more if anyone else wants to downplay some more) but he's still very viable In my opinion

Shinnok is viable, but imo to be A+ like you guys say his DarkBeam should be -8 on block. now he is still very good against chars that can't punish it, but he needs the meter of the blocked Darkbeam.

All of that has been around since pre-patch save for the Dark Beam nerf. I know that hurt him bad, but everything else you listed was around when everyone was screaming broken tier. Dark Beam really dropped him a whole tier?

What? Pre patch as in the recent one or the huge one that nerfed shinnok? most people still aren't playing the match right who are putting him in S tier. His damage, zoning, and pressure have been nerfed considerably since the last big patch

Having safe darkbeam is what made him top 2 pre patch.

It was virtually advantage on block vs most of the cast. Gave him meter, pseudo pressure, and even more respect in the footsie game.
Huge deal to have that taken away. Heck it was -2 on when crouch blocked.

Hate to bring up Injustice, but I'd compare it to IGAU when Black Adam had his low lightning "Normalized"- (the main reason he dropped out of high tier.)

Not to mention, the godlike spacing after a blocked projectile.

A list of characters who can't really punish F41D2xxDB because they suffer from
stubby limb syndrome or slowness. Good matchup knowledge to have.
Let me know if I'm wrong or missing anything.
