Most people complaining about boneshaper don't do those things either. Out of every tournament set I played at EGL, B3 was punished twice in total.

It's a shame really, gaps I can understand to a degree as BS dark beam gets rid of them, but not punishing B3 is like not punishing Quan for B324, you give your opponent safe 50/50s when they shouldn't have them and they walk all over you.

I wish I was there to punish your B3. With Jax's 6 frame standing 1 into 34% and 80% stage space corner carry, I've been doing it every time for about a month.

Shinnok kicks ass in every variation and people who complain about the tools he has are just being whiney bitches.

His OH isn't oped at all, I hate his teleport in lag though, It's hard punish if there is input delay and I know you can backdash it but if you do it'd probably recover in time for them to be able to down, back kick > Hellspark and I hate that shit lol I wouldn't complain about it offline though because I know I'd NJP all of them on reaction. you just need to know timing and be standing at range, Impostor can't zone like Bone Shaper even though he can't be zoned pretty much

Yeah man that's what bugs me too. The OH is punishable, my teleport tricks can be blown up but like I really feel like I've put the work in with this variation. For someone to tell me it's totally braindead, I feel like it undermines all the work I put in lol. I really appreciate the feedback though folks.

Tbh, I saw shinnok and braindead in the same sentence and thought immediately of bone shaper.

Impostor is brain dead. Same space control as boneshaper.... whats the difference? Plus lets add on a free vortex after a super easy trance convert....
In before Impostor top 3 character post incoming patch.

If you think Impostor is braindead, or at least as half as braindead as Bone Shaper, you're living proof of the theory that this community don't bother labbing a character before coming to a conclusion and just parrots what everyone else says.

In other words, no.

ArmedCalf has won and placed in multiple WNF online tournaments since Shinnok was garbage. He did well at EVO too, sending Mr. Mileena to losers and making it out of his pool in winners.

Impostor is not braindead at all. So many people pick up Boneshaper because they say he's braindead yet they can't even fucking win with him, so I doubt they would be able to pick up Impostor. Anyone who says he's braindead clearly doesn't understand or even play the character.

Jesus christ, are people still referring to one variation by the name of the character? SHINNOK as a CHARACTER is NOT braindead, BONE SHAPER as a VARIATION is a lot more braindead. Learn the difference, it's a basic game mechanic and some of you can't even notate it properly.

When responding to the OP, you didn't direct your blind bandwagon comment to anyone, so that was just to clarify that the guy starting the thread isn't someone who just accepted that Shinnok as a whole is braindead because the forum said so.
