It is better this way
Hey I'm trying to get started with imposter, but I don't know where to begin, or the general strategies. I'm having trouble finding info on here for imposter specifics. Especially the current version of imposter. Also, he is better than Boneshaper right? Basically I'd like to know some general strats, and just where to begin in learning this variation, or if Boneshaper is the variation I should be using.

So besides 1(1)2 and 3(1)2 occasionally whiffing along with 2(2), it seems Shinnok just can't catch a break. Please NRS, buff Shinnok hitboxes at least. Lol

Guys and gals, I'm making a video that will act as an introduction to Imposter Shinnok. I plan to put it out after EVO so keep your eyes peeled!

hey all, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me work on my impostor for an upcoming tournament. Boneshaper has been my main for a while, but I feel like impostor would cover some mu's better, and after seeing some of the jailing pressure he gets off of teleport, he looks even better than boneshaper :)

Thank you. Yeah, my spacing needs a bit more work with Shinnok
Watch your set-play. I'm two matches deep and I'm noticing you're very back dash happy. f41d2 xx Dark Beam into back dash. Just watch you don't fall into a pattern.

Never do dark beam on block. Just end with F41 or F41d2. They're both -5 so you can block, armor, backdash, etc. People will punish dark beam.

B1 xx scoop is a good bnb after B3 midscreen, since F2 is inconsistent at most ranges.
