Corrupted Shinnok

The Deadly Alliance boss was easy to. This one was hard for me (at first) but now i'm understanding what to do. The hardest for me all time was Shao Kahn in Shaolin Monks or Onaga in Deception

I got use to Onaga in Deception. If anything, all games that has Shao Kahn as a boss is hard. Expect MK9. Hardest one will always be Shaolin Monks.
 
Unless I'm extremely exhausted where I cannot remember a single combo if my life depended on it, the end boss is a peach to defeat. I mostly rushed him constantly. Did the trick for me.

No, no, no. The Deadly Alliance is the easier boss in MK history. I wish corrupted Shinnok was bigger. He seemed a bit skinny, not too tall, and i didn't like how it reminded me of the MKvsDC boss.



Yup, once you're caught in the fire blast, good luck!

Naw man, this monster Shinnok is pitifully EZ even on Medium, so long as you rush him, and avoid that chest fire spam, and him grabbing you.
Im a rush guy so, I got him that damn corner and wrecked his shit. And this was BEFORE I started to actually learn the moves on practice mode.

Underwhelming boss.
 
I came on these boards just to talk about how underwhelming he is. Granted I beat him in arcade ladder on medium difficulty with Sub-Zero(Who's ending sucked by the way.) It wasn't a hard fight and I wasn't impressed with the boss design. I kept myself from spoilers this whole time not knowing who the final boss was. All he turned out to be was a Oni with horns. This would have been fine if it was just a Sub Boss design for Shinnok. I liked it better when we thought Reiko or Havik was the "Big Bad". Now I hope Havik gets in as DLC. That's the only way I'll let this lame final boss slide. Should have just brought back Onaga The Dragon King.

P.S. I know I'm ranting hard but I had high hopes for something awesome...
 
he has yet to claim my head, kinda had the gut feeling I should hug him and punch him to death, worked fine so far. Might change when I raise difficulty tough, still playing at normal till I get better.

Shao Khan wasn't specially hard neither but he gave me more trouble than corrupted Shinnok so far.

Shinnok was Corrupt even before the transformation. Plus, he looks like the Devil. That's why he should be called Devil Shinnok.

I was thinking the same thing xD but can't really correct people for calling him corrupted when it's what's written in game xD
 
It took me a while to realize his fireball was block-able, so he did hold my head up high a few times :???: and his fatality is pretty damn good imo. Idk I actually give him a 7.5 out of 10, I like him as a boss... I'm just easy to please lol
 
It took a couple of tries, especially since I still don't know how to use any of the characters yet. He's not on the level of SNK bosses though.
 
He cannot possibly be any worse than Shao Kahn in MK9 or MK3 at harder difficulties. He was the absolute king of cheese.

I've only fought Corrupted Shinnok once so far (Goro's ladder ending) and I pummeled shit out of him, winning without a retry. The trick is simply to get in close and not give him any room to breathe. It's when you start jumping away and he spams his beam that you will start shitting health. Don't.
 
Corrupted Shinnok is CHEESE enough said

I suggest using any pop up then trying to get off combos while he's in the air. Once he falls jump over him as he gets up and repeat. Block that fire beam because he will and I repeat WILL do it back to back to back to back

If you have someone with good Zoning projectiles like JC spam that and he will die in no time

An admin should change the title of the thread. That could be a spoiler.

But anyways, just rush him down and don't get too far or else you'll get fire blasted at.

Not really needed anymore now that the game is out and everyone has spoilers in their siggy and pro pic, lol.
 
I was actually expecting another fight after I beat him in story mode because I thought no way the final boss was that easy.
 
His abilities are not that easy. His inner fire is quick as hell.

Ok, easier than Shao Kahn, but, I will put on hardest difficulty to see what he is made of.

On the last battle against him on story I had difficulties because I didn't try Cassie.
 
His fatality is freaky.

I did die to him a few times but that was just that he got me cornered and I sometimes suck at getting out of them.

And when he doesn't perform his fatality, I don't know what's more (ocky, Shao Kahn posing with some slave babe crawling to him or Shinnok throwing your head into the distance while looking at the red swirl.
 
I found him hard at first when I didn't understand the full screen fire blast move. But now, I do and he's easy. He seems easier than shao kahn but that might be because for mk9 shao kahn I was inexperienced with fighting games and didn't know as much as I do now. I mean I even got through chapters with characters i'm not good with(raiden, sonya) relatively quickly which I didn't do in mk9. All in all either he's easier, or ive just gotten better lol.
