Cool!
Well, the Chaos Dimension 1-hit kill on Dark Phoenix should work on paper in MVC3, you know.
SJ gunshot is just something it seems that you have to deal with. I don’t think it’s in Shuma’s favor and even a Wesker with decent spacing should be able to win easily, but it’s a preferable match up over the likes of someone like Doom or Magneto.
I disagree with the Taskmaster priority. Pretty much random mystic smash is going to lose to Shield Skills but it stops there for the most part. Crouching B should be able to beat any approaches with shield skills. Crouching C will anti air jump C for free. I think it’s fair. Only thing is, Task can do shocksting loops on Shuma far easier than any other character.
Hey guys, here’s a japanese stream with some sick shuma play. its in the beginning you dont have to look far to find it. he plays abegen at some point. i only watched the beginning but theres some good shuma stuff in there, i hope you guys find some inspiration in there. the guys name is TONOSAMA and hes pretty entertaining to watch.
PS - this guy is doing TOD combos on tron… thor… shehulk. wtf shuma. he makes such a good battery
…yeah thats pretty old
recorded september 23rd.
That Coon dhc trap into rock trap into HMS dhc is a sick setup on incoming…costly meter wise, but sick
Thanks for the post, man!
His play is solid. He should go for the kill more and less for resets.
My God, Tonosama is just beautiful to watch in action. How is it possible for a human being to have such ridiculous execution? Can someone explain it to me?
Also, based on those matches, I think we could say that Shuma-Gorath has two genuinely good match-ups: Tron and Thor! I know, I know, it’s a slim honour, but hey, aren’t we Shuma-Gorath players honour-starved?
Those instant overheads are DISGUSTING. I also like how he doesnt really use meter to kill, rather he uses it to set up near-impossible to block scenarios. I also like how he’s using RR’s spitfire assist, rather than just log trap.
Tonosama is proof that this game is only limited by our imagination. It doesn’t matter if you use low-tier or high-tier or anything in between, just make sure your team is CHEAP and you will do well!
Also his RR is crazy. He doesn’t stop putting shit on the screen. And as soon as you block cold-star, you are getting opened up, and you have nothing to say about it.
Everything you say is true. That’s what sets this game apart from other games: the possibilities are endless.
And yes, his Rocket Raccoon is sick, quite possibly the sickest I’ve ever seen! I think Tonosama has pretty much found THE team for point Shuma-Gorath. The synergy between the elder god and the raccoon is very surprising.
im trying to do the relaunch: cr.H > Mystic Stare > S > H > S
but the H whif, any tips/tricks for timing?
Use Stare M.
Not sure if anyone on here knows this, but i have recently discovered some interesting tech with Shuma. [media=youtube]Etjvvq-dt9Y[/media]
Can’t find a reason to use tonosama’s midscreen bnb over the current one. At first I thought his carried further towards the corner, but it seems like they both carry about the same, but the current accepted one does much more damage
Yeah I don’t see how you can say this. You are aware he was playing against a tron/thor/she hulk, right? Do you see Doom or Magneto getting locked down by RR’s fireball assist?
Yeah, I know, maybe I got a little carried away there. But you know, I didn’t say that it was necessarily a top tier team, but that it felt like the most “natural” team I’ve seen for Shuma-Gorath, his BFFs if you will. Everything about the strategy just seems to fall into place. Spitfire gives him the horizontal approach that he lacks, and Cold Star gives him the lockdown that he benefits from so much. These two assists are probably the ones that put Shuma-Gorath in his most “comfortable” position.
Not to mention dat incoming unblockable trap with Rocket Raccoon! That is definitely a HUGELY useful set-up for Shuma-Gorath. Well, that and the overall great synergy with the raccoon. The team should have bad match-ups, but it’s definitely a VERY comfortable team to work with if you play the elder god.
Hey gang not sure if you guys saw this yet but here’s some awesome sets btw Tonosama Shuma team against ABEGEN Thor team, its very refreshing to watch and Tonosamas CMD grab set ups with Shuma are too good! keep your eyes out for them.

facepalm
Forgot what stream it was but he did very well with that team against a notable Morrigan,Doom and Magneto. when i find it i’ll post it for you. He really used the spit fire twice for a safe approach like Sent Drones and Ammy for the lock down.
if a magneto or doom ever get hit by a spitfire twice assist while not already locked down, the player should just put down the controller and walk away from marvel forever.
