Well, that may be why I had difficulty setting anyone up with Shuma outside from assists.
So I was on the right track then? Heh. Getting good with the character seems beyond my skill level anyways, but damn if you guys aren't making me want to give 3 another shot
Shuma-Gorath is on my team, so if you have questions, I'm glad to answer them in the Marvel OT (moves slower than this thread). The most difficult aspect of Shuma-Gorath is getting his combos down.
IMO, the best Shuma-Gorath team is:
Shuma-Gorath (Mystic Ray)
Dr. Strange (Bolts of Balthakk)
Amaterasu (Cold Stars)
At least, that's the best I've seen. Arrow assists are also really good for Shuma-Gorath, though. I'm sure Unibeam would work as well. Plasma Beam isn't so great for him.
Kind of pathetic when you consider how poor the hitbox is overall.
Anytime I see somebody block it instead of directly challenging it I assume they have no experience fighting Shuma.
Agreed and agreed, with exception given to those wonderful situations where it crosses up right above the opponent's head. I think Shuma-Gorath might just be the worst solo character in the game. Ever so slightly below Hsien-ko.
