H. P. Lovecraft would be proud - The Shuma-Gorath thread!

I had the same idea. Please somebody make sure that uncounterable TAC’s still work with him.

What’s nice is that Phoenix can easily hard tag to shuma after Maya bitch fit super.

Can’t wait to do some midscreen LOOPZ!

Hooray for his command grab becoming pretty good.

now if only he had a way to get in close easily so he could actually make use of it!

Wow, I love your Shuma-Gorath play, dude.

So shuma can link j.s to hyper mystic smash. So a viable any condition bnb could be cr.h j.m j.h j.h j.m j.h j.h j.m j.h j.s hyper mystic smash. Yeah its basic but effective.

mystic smash assist seems faster and better

Interesting, very interesting. And the fact that it’s maskable allows for some decent damage

I woke up from a dream where Shuma could turn invisible. Read your post and thought it had come true.

OT: I’m hyped for Shuma buffs. Although he may not be mad buffed… he’s still without a doubt better in Ultimate, as far as day -2 is looking

If all this stuff is true, capcom, you guys need to work on your change logs! I’m really hyped for everything about shuma, including his costume.

Sick, almost looks like what shuma looked like when he was resurrected in the early 90’s Conan comics.

Actually, Shuma is supposed to be Quoggoth, his traitorous student that he bitchslapped into an underwater prison in Bermuda. In one comic.

Yeah i read your comment b4 and your definitely right, but it still reminds me of that one form of shuma from Conan with one big eye surrounded by a bunch of smaller eyes, i don’t really read new comics so I take pleasure in reminiscing however i can.

LOL, Shuma-Gorath rap!

Nice, that was pretty god damn phat. Almost makes me want to reconsider dropping shuma.

That rap completely explains why Shuma always does a swag pose after his moves.

so, has nobody tested untechable TAC’s yet?

Woah! You can spam mystic ray in X-factor? Why the fuck have I never tried that?
I usually go for the 1mill jump loop

Because it usually doesn’t work. All the ammy had to do was put up the reflector and bounce the ray back then super. Most of the roster can easily punish you for trying to mystic ray.

My friend got the game this morning! I got to play for ten minutes with Shuma Gorath before heading to classes :slight_smile: Here are my quick impressions.

J.S was a god tier buff, If you’re comfortable with ground loops then tacking on J.S will not be a problem. You can link HMS or HMR the same way you would a corner combo. Mad damage by mashing.

Maybe Mystic Smash got a little increased priority? My friend was X-23 and he did a standing light and I ran into him but I stayed in ball form.
I was like O_O no wai!

Frank and Shuma work so fucking well together it’s like Best Buddies part 2. Frank’s invincible supers get him close to the opponent and you can easily switch to Shuma for a chaos dimension. The cart thing? It’s like an express train to Shuma’s favorite place on the battlefield…THE CORNER. Frank benefits from the eyeball explosions if he snaps a pix when he switches in, the mystic ray assist,.

Uhh somehow I grabbed Nova with CD when he was doing human rocket. That was pretty funny.

Cr.M seems to come out faster. This is good since alot of us use that move.

The hitstun on J.H seems to be longer.

Wavedash still is sucky.
