I guess I play Necromancer now.. PSN: ArmedCalf
Hey guys, I'm really trying to work out who this variation beats, loses to, etc. As it turns out, I don't have as much MU experience against a lot of the unknown variations as I thought I did. Last time I made a thread like this I made a lot of assumptions, so this time I want to gather input from all of you folks. I'm pretty bad at constantly updating threads but I'm gonna try to stay on top of this one as best I can. I'll list what (I think) know - hopefully you folks can fill in the blanks. I'm also going to keep gathering MU knowledge by playing some people that are ridiculous with their characters. I'm willing to listen to any reason why I could be wrong! I'd love to change my way of thinking if it means having an easier time with the MU. I'll explain why I have MU's the way they are as well. Keep in mind this MU chart is only for Impostor. If the MU number reads like this (Lackey 7-3) it means Impostor beats that variation 7-3.

Alright that's everyone: I'm gonna tag some other Impostor Shinnok mains or people that mess with him to help fill in some of the blanks @Doctor Stabs @STB Damashi @D. R. @Youphemism
If you're reading this and you see your character with a ???, feel free to give me some input. I'd also love to play and see first hand what the MU is like. Some of the ??? because I genuinely have no idea what the MU is like, others I put because I'm don't feel confident in the exp I have to give an exact number. Also, it's worth noting I think every MU number goes up by 1 when Shinnok plays on either Emperor's Courtyard and Kuatan Jungle. Let's fill this thread up folks!
