Question - Shinnok Should Shinnok's S3 be a low?

[SaSSolino]

Make amulet +4 on hit (from +2) and -8 on block (from -10). But really shinnok, apart from Necro, is fine.

I meant traded with the new buff, too strong otherwise.

 

[Hidan]

Do you guys really want to give imposter a hit confirm able low?

Nah I think he'd be way too strong with it. Necromancer could use it though.

solid posts

should specify about necromancer only in OP though

 

[DDutchguy]

yes, s3 should indeed be a low, but on the other hand impostor's last buff isn't needed. trade? and maybe adding a little safeness to his amulet, yes?



hitconfirmable, safe, meterbuilding low option after mimicry and corner damage. it's a pretty good buff.

Pls stahp wanting to buff Impostor kappa

This is literally the most boring way to buff a character. If you want your character buffed at least put more thought into it than make x move low and y move OH.

...did you read the OP?

...did you read the OP?

yup, and I stand by my statement that simply adding lows and overheads to a character is a boring way to balance/buff them.

 

[usedcarsalesmang]

This buff would never happen. It would make imposter shinnok too good to have a safe/meterless/hitconfirmable low combo starter into mimicry

I'm not asking for a buff or a nerf, merely posting a peculiar thing and what consequences it would have if it would be changed.

yeah. I've heard that before.

 

[MsMiharo]

yeah. I've heard that before.

I've even stated it shouldn't be changed lol but yeah keep up your shenanigans. The truth is out there *insert X-Files theme music*

 

[TamedLizard]

I don't know about that, changing a move just bc it looks like a high or mid doesn't really make much sense to me.

If a move is a high I believe it should stay as what it was designed to be not what it looks like it could be.

Oh I'm not saying change it. Just saying it's mind boggling lol.

 

[ArmedCalf]

Definite no for me, I get what you're saying but I personally don't think we should start giving Shinnok more tools to throw out

I agree. But maybe it should be "fixed" so it can be parried?

 

[AeWhole]

If Shinnok gets any more mix up game against the Quan Chi match up I will blow my brains out.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Let's not buff Shinnok. I get ass raped by good imposters enough anyways.

 

[Reauxbot]

I don't know why, but most of you seem to assume this is a "plz buff shinnok"-thread. It's not. Impostor does not need any buffs. But this move is, afaik, the only move that essentially is a low vs parries but does not register as a low. I just thought was interesting. It is not only about whether or not it LOOKS like a low.

Oh.. You thought you was gonna make a thread up in here without people assuming?

 

[MsMiharo]

Oh.. You thought you was gonna make a thread up in here without people assuming?

I... I have come to realise it was a mistake.

 

[Ninequads93]

No.

He would b able to get 50%-70% off it in the corner with the right stolen moves

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Don't need it.

Bruh preach.

 

[legion666]

He needs everything he can get. NRS probably intended for 3 to be a low and than got scared of the potential and nerfed it to hell, pussies) they didn't even give him an overhead and the ability to MB hell sparks on block in the beginning:16Bit
RIP low standing 3 , #neverallowedtolive)












And for those who think we are actually asking for buffs

 

[STB Damashi]

I think it would have been a better buff instead of the Teleport Jump in punches. So yeah I think it should be a low, not because it looks like a low, but because it is slower than the 7f low as I have mentioned in the "What changes would you guys like to see made to shinnok in kp2 patch" thread I made a while ago. So I definitely do agree and I am bias, but it shouldn't be a low just because it looks like a low. Everything else mentioned in the OP though is why I wish it was a low.

Pretty sure a lot of people already think Shinnok is OP overall so you're gonna get a lot of flack. Also he is everybody's "worst match up lol, i can defeat everyone except Shinnoks".

 

[BigMacMcLovin]

Most will vote just so there isn't another mixup to deal with in the game. Why would anyone want another character, who is extremely viable already, to get a brand new mixup? Except Shinnok mains of course which is understandable to an extent.

He's already got a really great low normal as it is. Best in the game as far as I'm concerned. Combine it with his vortex in imposter for instance and it's just unnecessary.

If by some goat killing blood sacrificing miracle it did happen the frame data couldn't be the same. It couldn't and shouldn't stay safe under such nonsense.
