Yeah, me too! Maybe it will have something to do with the way the Ancient Ones were portrayed in the Thanos Imperative mini.

You mean this?

Yeah, I also thought about that as a possibility! Would probably look nice, too.

I was thinking more of something like this:

I think it wouldn’t fit well with Shuma’s gentleman’s personality traits, but it would be freaking demented.

Oh, THAT one. So that’s his Thanos Imperative rendition, eh?

Well, that would definitely be a very interesting alt costume (if they can figure out which one is supposed to be Shuma-Gorath, LOL). Not sure it would work with his 3D model, though.

Macarratti · October 18, 2011, 6:16pm

dude. That shuma is so fucking classy.

I was bored so I made this baby my new desktop wallpaper
Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App - See this video on Photobucket.
I think it’s going to start distracting me to a large extent!

Macarratti · October 19, 2011, 2:13pm

now THAT’S classy!

figuer39 · October 19, 2011, 8:07pm

You think so?

Whoa, amazing wallpaper! I need one of those! xD

Macarratti · October 19, 2011, 10:41pm

yeah man, he’s so smooth and reptilian looking, the epitome of class right there man.

I think Seth believes Shuma is “balanced” is because he can go from crouching H into aerial Mystic Smash L which is basically an instant overhead. Also this allows him to avoid being punished on block.

snadmonkey · October 20, 2011, 1:48am

C.h get pushed block and the the mystic smash wiffs and you eat a combo. Any his instant overhead is not nearly as fast as other chars like wolvie, joe c viperetc.

MysticRay · October 20, 2011, 2:13am

Its not “super great” but it works.

Fretless · October 20, 2011, 2:51am

Shuma’s possible DLC outfit?

Macarratti · October 20, 2011, 3:57am

PFFFFTTT XD

Regarding the returning cast in the UMVC guide book.

There may be some shuma hope, may it be small, but god dame it, there is still HOPE.

Macarratti · October 20, 2011, 8:47am

he already got a change, THAT TOTALLY OP METER DRAIN PROPeRTY ON HIS NORMAL THROW!!!111!!!1 TOTALLY GONNA MAKE HIM TOP TIER AMIRITE!?

ahem… sorry. but yeah, I’m hoping for more, and I actually wouldn’t mind a post release patch a la the Sentinel nerf patch if it meant some of the characters got the buffs they rightly deserved. but I’m not holding my breathe. not anymore…

figuer39 · October 20, 2011, 10:58am

You know, he DOES look kinda reptilian there.

Wow. Is that… Shuma-Gorath? o.0

Haha! Okay, that was funny.

Jack_Lanterna · October 21, 2011, 8:56am

I think what they meant is that each character SECTION in the guide was redone, as in rewritten, because this time they could write the guide with the knowledge of how the characters gameplay developed since vanilla’s release. It doesn’t mean that the characters themselves were redone.

Actually that’s Shuma-Gorath’s wimpy cousin.

Hahahahaha greatness
