BUFF GENERAL SHAO DMG

[炭治郎Flooster]

It's a joke?
Shao's combo damage with enhanced weapon gives less damage with combo baraka or top tier characters

[SH41TAN]

Wut? You're joking, right? Baraka is busted so he's a bad example.

And you point is...?

Shao doin more damage makes sense but isnt a big deal forsure not! hes got a lot of other ways around it, drop the axe!

[Cpt Obvious]

Characters like Baraka and Raiden need a nerf. We don't need to bring every one up to that obscene easy 45-50% combo dmg level.

Bro, just call him Shao Kahn

[F0X7]

As a Shao main this is his best combo with Sub-Zero kameo WITH dark energy:
<3,>kameo,< until ~3 unit spaces apart,<2,<2,>^1,2,landing 2,2,enhanced v<3,
continued: wait ~1.5 sec.,v>4, wait ~1 sec.,2,2,v>2 - 429.07 Damage

He also has this, but it's extremely unsafe:
>^2,<2,>^1,2,landing 2,2,enhanced v<3, wait ~1.5 sec.,v>4, wait ~1 sec.,2,2,v>2 - 437.3 Damage

That is MORE than enough damage for any character, Baraka, Raiden, and a few others badly need a nerf. What Shao needs is a couple frames knocked off his start up and ending frames.

Whole game needs a nerf. Average combo damage is 40 to 50 percent with no way out. 1 mistake shouldnt cost u have ur health and they retain this meter.

This game is dying. Good NRS is going to find out the hard way.

Hey man I agree, and I also think combo breakers should costs 2 meters and not need kameo's to be available. And even though I worked my ass off to actually land the combos I listed above in pvp, I agree that it's too much damage. Those combos, being some of the hardest in the game, should peak out at ~30-ish %. Most combos should peak at <25% IMHO.

I can tell ya that no one I've played online are hitting combos like this unless they're playing the brain dead easy characters like Raiden where your strings literally combo into themselves with almost no timing required. But this is every fighting game now, SF6 and tekken 8 has ROUGHLY the same combo damage % because it's super flashy and great for spectators, this may kill the genre as a whole in the long run.

Oh cool, we're discovering the wheel in this thread. Yeah, touch of death characters have always been a thing in fighting games, deal with it.

And no, Shao needs no damage buff, he gets very good damage for 1 bar.

[BlackBlitzkrieg]

I heard Shao had a bug when he fights a Shujinko Kameo where he'll lose his axe if it's on the ground. Not sure if that's still in the game though.

His point is he's basing his view on some youtube video.
