'''UNDER CONSTRUCTION'''
General notes:
*when landing from a standing MSA, remember to do the bnb's rather than the MSA ender (some Bnb's are more favored than others in this secnario)
 
*for the most part, counterwire combos are dependant on where you landed the move.
'''BnBs:'''
* cr.B, cr.A, qcfx2 P / qcfx2 K
:low-confirm in ethier super. qcfx2 K is the prefered one since it does more dmg. for an easier time doing this, do cr.B~qcf,cr.A~qcf P/K.
 
* st.B, st.B / qcfx2 K
:this only works if st.B is done as a meaty. st.B is an easy mode option while qcfx2 is alittle more difficult but more rewearding.
 
* cl.C / cl.D, f.B, qcf P (SC)qcfx2 P)
:this combo only works if you don't implement a jump-in as f.B has short range.
 
* (J.X),cl.C/cl.D,qcb A~qcf A
:combo using qcb A~qcf A. deals solid dmg.
 
* (J.X),cl.C/cl.D,qcf P (SC)qcfx2 P/ qcfx2 K
:Heavy starter into super. If you feel qcfx2 K might whiff, use qcfx2 P instead.
 
* hcb,F.C, cl.C/cl.D,anything
:proximity unblockable combo. hcb,f.C gives enough frames for shen to do a close heavy, allowing you to do any combo of your choosing. If you try to implement f.B, remember to run-up before you do cl.C/D.   
 
* qcf P (CH), qcfx2 K
: counter-hit geki-ken into qcfx2 K. The timming for landing the super depends on where you hit the opponent on the screen. if you automatically cross under the opponent after CH qcf P then reverse the motion input for qcfx2 K
 
'''MSA Starters:'''
* cl.C, MSA
:shen's cl.C gives enough + frames to go into MSA. requires some timming to get used to. 
 
* st.B, MSA
:the st.B must be done as a meaty in order for this to work.
 
* qcf P (CH), MSA
:counter-hit geki-ken into MSA. The timming for landing the MSA depends on where you hit the opponent on the screen. if you automatically cross under the opponent after CH qcf P then reverse the motion input for MSA


===''Attack Strings''===
* hcb,F,C,(run-up st.C),MSA

:proximity grab into MSA. you can add in cl.C for abit more dmg.

Introduction

「　Shen Woo　」

Shen is a character that excels on melee, he usually has problems with characters that can stay away and safe from his Zetsu geki ken (qcfx2 + P) using low projectiles. (Iori for example)

In general, he is a fairly solid mid-tier character and with a few interesting options that we will list throughout this page:

Strengths Weaknesses
  • One of the characters with the most potential for stun
  • has a few ways to deal with projeciles
  • high damage combos that are simple to preform
  • good buttons
  • Easy tick throw setups
  • Very easy to learn
  • lacks a good crossup
  • can struggle defensively as he has no reversal ouside of meter
  • only low confirm is with Kohyou rengeki (qcfx2 + K)
  • a bit dependent on meter to get things going
  • bad LDM

  • prioximity unblockable
  • re-stand's the opponent
  • can reflect projectiles that's not a super

this is shen's command grab; however, it's not treated like one, rather it's a proximity unblockable that allows you to combo after it. If you K.O with your command grab, shen will be in the perfect position to cross-up the opponent. just be aware that it has short range, not invinicbile and has very few active frames.

  • light version has lower body invinicbility
  • heavy version has upper body invinicibility
  • will cause a counter-wire on counter hit

an enhanced version of his geki ken, mainly used in combos where kohyou rengeki will whiff. you can also use it to beat projeciles, but whichever version you use depends on the projectile.

  • invinicbile on start-up
  • when used in combo's only the inital hit adds up to the combo counter, this causes the move to be almost unscaled in any combo.

  • shen's install super, this LDM power up shen's damage output, allowing easy 50-60% combos.
  • the buff will last 7 in-game seconds
  • if canceled into, shen will skip the start-up of the move

despite what's been mention, there alot of drawbacks to using this:

  • a unique drawback of this move is that shen's will take much more stun dmg (this is noticeable when hitting his head)
  • when done raw, it starts up extremly slow, leaving you wide open to be punished
  • it has extremely small hitbox upon activation
  • you can not build meter while in the buffed state

overall,shen as a leader is not recommended, as he gains major drawbacks using his LDM all for the price of more dmg.

Combos

General notes:

  • when landing from a standing MSA, remember to do the bnb's rather than the MSA ender (some Bnb's are more favored than others in this secnario)
  • for the most part, counterwire combos are dependant on where you landed the move.

BnBs:

  • cr.B, cr.A, qcfx2 P / qcfx2 K
low-confirm in ethier super. qcfx2 K is the prefered one since it does more dmg. for an easier time doing this, do cr.B~qcf,cr.A~qcf P/K.
  • st.B, st.B / qcfx2 K
this only works if st.B is done as a meaty. st.B is an easy mode option while qcfx2 is alittle more difficult but more rewearding.
  • cl.C / cl.D, f.B, qcf P (SC)qcfx2 P)
this combo only works if you don't implement a jump-in as f.B has short range.
  • (J.X),cl.C/cl.D,qcb A~qcf A
combo using qcb A~qcf A. deals solid dmg.
  • (J.X),cl.C/cl.D,qcf P (SC)qcfx2 P/ qcfx2 K
Heavy starter into super. If you feel qcfx2 K might whiff, use qcfx2 P instead.
  • hcb,F.C, cl.C/cl.D,anything
proximity unblockable combo. hcb,f.C gives enough frames for shen to do a close heavy, allowing you to do any combo of your choosing. If you try to implement f.B, remember to run-up before you do cl.C/D.
  • qcf P (CH), qcfx2 K
counter-hit geki-ken into qcfx2 K. The timming for landing the super depends on where you hit the opponent on the screen. if you automatically cross under the opponent after CH qcf P then reverse the motion input for qcfx2 K

MSA Starters:

  • cl.C, MSA
shen's cl.C gives enough + frames to go into MSA. requires some timming to get used to.
  • st.B, MSA
the st.B must be done as a meaty in order for this to work.
  • qcf P (CH), MSA
counter-hit geki-ken into MSA. The timming for landing the MSA depends on where you hit the opponent on the screen. if you automatically cross under the opponent after CH qcf P then reverse the motion input for MSA
  • hcb,F,C,(run-up st.C),MSA
proximity grab into MSA. you can add in cl.C for abit more dmg.

(corner)

  • f.B, MSA
overhead link into MSA. useless set-up.

MSA Enders:

  • (After landing from MSA) backdash,qcfx2 K
basic MSA ender. can be abit difficult to do.
