If I'm not mistaken MK9 Kano started low, got buffed then sent back to shit tier.
Joke's on you because that's not Bone Shaper ha.
He beat Reo on stream. I didn't catch it though.
Yea that's what I missed. So salty. I heard he beat REO with Necromancer. I hope there's archive to watch.
Ok so I'll try shinnok and shaolin KJ. Any specific variation of shinnok? How do they each play
I would recommend you go into our Shinnok thread and look at the last couple of pages and how they changed him and how we like him, but I definitely say Bone Shaper is a great one to start with, is easier than Impostor as Impostor does take more time to learn but is almost, maybe even just as good as Bone Shaper. His fireball zones ridiculously well in BS.
Ok bone shaper it is. Thanks.
Where do you have necromancer Shinnok at? And can you explain your mournful Kitana placement? Not disagreeing with your list just curious
No Kenshi? I still think he's incredibly viable with good space control. I'd certainly rate him above mournful and flame fist.
I am sure you saw Cowboy fight Honey Bee. Necromancer has poor horizontal control. You can still easily run through flick and get a full combo punish. In my opinion, Necromancer is Shinnok's worst variation.
I am not yet convinced. Ducked tele-flurries have horrendous recovery frames while overhead slashes are kind of slow.
f1 eats up alotta peoples buttons, string can now be kept safe. D1~jade kick has great pushback on block and if it hits yer golden.
Very good points, I think I got caught up in the Necromancer buffs and didn't actually see him in practice. Unfortunately I missed Cowboy vs Honeybee which sucked because I was hype for that match lol. As for Kitana those were also great points but I feel her projectile being so weak compared to the other zoners you mentioned should put her below Liu Kang at least, 5% is quite weak although the frame advantage on ex is amazing and perhaps makes up for that? Idk she wouldn't really wanna trade fireballs with anyone else in your list and that's a negative IMO
When Bone Grab stops whiffing against D'Vorah, Sonya, Jacqui and Tanya's run...then we'll see.
You think he needs to snag everybody? Just asking before I share my thoughts. I think it definitely should. They gotta at least be forced to block... Just my two cents. I mean I would like Summoned Fiend to connect on males off of 312 as well but oh well. Still he's pretty playable now for sure.
Yeah he definately needs to snag every running character...still got a ways to go for this variation IMO.
Not sure but what interested me is his cannon seemed to fire instantly after a air shot. Like Harley's air gun to straight gun in IGAU.his ex straight gun does 13%
Do you consider Jax with a zoning and spacing mindset viable as well? I looked at him from a zoning perspective with wrestler and pumped up and I think it can work. Shoot projectiles until your opponent comes in, then apply your pressure options. Knock them back then go back to zoning. Even tho energy wave is a high, +7 anywhere is still valuable imo.
