Hokuto no Ken/Shin: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:47, 25 January 2013

Introduction

Shin is a hard-hitting power type character, and has the ability to guard crush any opponent. During the early days of the game's release he was considered the strongest character, but he has fallen greatly in the rankings as the other characters have become more and more developed while he has stayed mostly the same.

Between his command grab, 2B, and instant air dash B, Shin has a very good wakeup game, especially in the corner. However, his ability to apply continued pressure is lacking in comparison to other characters, and he has a very tough time getting out of bad situations. The simplicity and high damage of his combos, as well as his general ease of use make him a very good starter character, much like Kenshiro. Unfortunately, he lacks the same potential - of all characters, Shin has the hardest and least practical 100% combos. That being said, let us start this section off by listing Shin's main strengths and weaknesses.

-Shin is a hard-hitting power type character, being one of the only characters with the ability to guard crush any opponent. During the early days of the game's release he was considered the strongest character, but he has fallen greatly in the rankings as the other characters have become more and more developed while he has stayed mostly the same. Shin can easily net a 60% or more Banishing Strike combo from a crossup or low attack - between his command grab, 2B, and instant air dash B he has a very good wakeup game, especially in the corner. However, his ability to apply continued pressure is lacking in comparison to other characters, and he himself has a very tough time getting out of pressure. The simplicity and high damage of his combos and his general ease of use make him a very good starter character, much like Kenshiro, but unfortunately he lacks the same potential - of all characters, Shin has the hardest and least practical 100% combos.
