How to play Shuriken in Phighting! 

I'm just happy narrator is enjoying Shuriken

A few things I wanna say as a shuri main 1. It is ok to stay at a long range if your shield is low/regenerating, but imo, it is optimal to stay in a mid range to enemies. Due to shuri's m1 being a projectile, not hitscan. This will make it much much easier to hit shots due to less time of travel. However, there is a better chance of damage, so you may need to play more carefully. 2. Timing your q correctly. When damaged while using or charging up q, it will get cancelled. With this in mind, you gotta make sure you don't waste it, because if you get cancelled, there is a great chance you will become a potato (dead). My personal way to get out if you didn't use e earlier or it died but q is available is by doing one of two things depending on the match up. If melee, focus on running and evading. Once e is done, spawn clone in a safe direction, and then run a different way. They will likely follow you, so you can then teleport to the clone and then q away. If they are ranged, they likely won't be able to deal the dps the same as a melee, so you can use e after they use some abilities and use the same tech as before. You won't get away unharmed in either of these, so use this as a backup and always prepare before getting into the brawl. 3. Teammates. This is pretty much what makes shuri good. He can't hold up against the enemy team alone, unlike some classes. Your teammates can very easily determine how well you perform. They will aggro most of the enemies while you get into their backlines. They will heal you (which is a must with 75/50 health shield ratio) if they got a med. They can cover your getaway. Shuri, despite mostly being solo, relies on the people on his team to perform well. This was pretty much a rant. I'm not the best shuri main, so don't take this too too seriously. These are just some tips/info that I learned overtime (haha phighting reference). There's probably half a million grammar mistakes and half of this is probably wrong. Know that these are not like, sure fire tips and may not always work. And as you said, just practice a lot. Edit: I forgor matchups Hyper, med, sub, and sometimes katana can be your best matches. Can easily be easy kills Rocket, sling, a semi-bad skate, sometimes shuri, or a distracted bb can be decent matchups. The fight can go either way Sword and bio imo are some of the hardest. Sword will constantly chase you down as shield regen passive, while a good bio can kill you in seconds. If the bio is bad, then I'd put him in decent matchups, due to low total hp, but most of the time they good. If any questions, feel free to ask, though I may not give the best advice

hOLY this blew UP so anyway im gonna make another one of these

I just played phighting yesterday and Shuriken was the character im interested in. When i play him first time, I legit have no clue what I'm doing but I got 3 assists. I was about to use other phighters but I realized the only one I'm good at is Shuriken. Thanks man! Really appreciate this vid a lot :3

I suppose, now with all of shuri's new buffs and mechanics, it is now time to make a part 2, of my previous paragraphs long comment. It won't be that different, just newly updated info and the addition of vinestaff. I know this looks like a lot, but it (hopefully) isnt Very few people gonna be reading this, so consider yourself lucky. What has changed? Not much really, but here's a list: Anti-heal Slight passive change Backshots Buffs to all attacks (yeah...) Basic overview time (moveset changes) Passive: The boosts now deplete when you get damaged (they regen over time). This shouldn't be an issue really because you have two escape tools and if you are getting hit enough for it to fully deplete, you are likely dead (if not quite lucky) M1: They now deal backshots, which have increased damage and apply anti-heal to players when you shoot their back (self explanatory) M2: Now slows by 20% (30% on backstab) when hits. Also applies 3 seconds of anti-heal on backstabs. On paper that probably doesnt sound like much, but trust me, it can be tide-turning when you get that katana being pocketed by med and vine. Q: Not much changed. The biggest thing is that you can now press space while traveling to cancel it, but retaining the momentum (inertia is cool i swear). Same as always, a get in and out tool, or to get that pesky hyper sniping your team from another country. E: Slight buffs. Now more believable. Shows the health that you had on cast. Also slows and bounds for 2 seconds. Ult: The same ol same ol. Now just applies 3 anti-heal on hit. Usages of moves: Passive: It's a passive bub, you don't really use it. M1: I THINK (not 100% sure) the hold 2 throw repeat tech is no longer really good. I personally enjoy 3 charges for the most part. But if im low and getting attacked by a melee who is also low, i like spamming because i believe it lets you keep your passive more and it's more consistent, rather than 3 shots being more burst. This should go without saying, but go for backshots. They apply anti-heal and just do more damage. M2: Good any close quarter situation for the most part. Use back stabs on unsuspecting support/ranged. If the katana is being pocketed, stab him and let your team shred. It can be ok for running from melee, due to the slow, but if you are able to hit them with this while under attack, it likely won't save you. Q: Get in/Get out. Nothing to it. E: Same as Q, a get in/get out tool. The main way you are going to be using this is as a waypoint. Put it somewhere and just tele back to it when you get low/gotta reposition. Though, with the recent slow and bound, I enjoy sending it in on conq, and when it hits, just light up the poor freshie who fell for it from two miles away. Ult: Use it when you are full health. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop using it when you are in a mass fight. Either get away and q/e back in after using it, or just save it for your next life. Once you are in though, try to keep jumping to a minimum and zone the enemies into your rotating shurikens. If done right, all should die (seriously, its kinda busted). Matchups 1 is in your favor. higher is you are already dead Im only gonna explain the higher up ones, the bottom ones should be self-explanitory 1. Vine 2. Hyper (mid aim) 3. Katana (can't q) 4. Rocket 5. Sub 6. Med (mid aim) 7. Bio that doesn't know how to bio 8. Boombox 9. Sling 10. Sword (much easier at long ranged) 11. Other shuri's 12. Katana that can hit Q 13. Skate (can trick and maintain speed) 14. A bio that can bio (banic/eggo level) 15. Med that can hit semi-consistent head shots 16. Hyper WITH GOOD AIM (only like 3 exist) 11. You aint hitting eachother lol. Yall just b-hopping everywhere 12. Katana will pull you in the second you try to leave. If you do escape, the second you peek you head out, you see that rope hit you square in the torso and you know it's over 13. You aint hitting if they're good. Less you can get them off board that is. 14. They up and close to you. Probably blinking around, making it hard to hit. Can out dps you. 15. A good med will zone you out, so you cant apply the anti-heal, while they are self-sustaining and getting damage in (they can also q away whenever they friggin want) 16. If you were to meet one of these legends, you would be dead before you even see them. They will headshot you even if you are right up jumping around them. There is no winning if you meet one of these people. If you think you killed one of them, you didn't, you just killed a wannabe, with a but a fraction of their power. Additional Notes: Staying at mid-long range is still very good. Being at a distance, but still around the same ground level is great. With 75/50 health/shield ratio, be careful, because that 50 shield is your main source of defense unless you got a vine or med THAT ACTUALLY HEALS CMON MAN please dont q while being attacked, it's pointless, you'll just get canceled You aint a melee class, so stop trying to be one. Just cuz you got one melee attack, dont mean you get to run in the frontlines bub. Trickstabs are not vital (but fun as hell) as quoted: "Retreat is an honorable tactic forever and for always" (not in other's eyes) Stars a PROJECTILE not hitscan, so aim a little where you think your enemy will be (as already stated) Conclusion If you've made it this far, CONGRATS, you have read like 8 pages of useless information about the goober known as shuri. If you walk away with at least one piece of new information, then this comment's purpose has been fulfilled, and that's enough to make me happy :>. Good luck out there - The stupid, brainrotting, idiot, Hd

Very nice video! As a mobile player that sucks, I can definitely use this lmao Commenting for the algorithm let's go

Great video, ill definitely be trying this out ! Im a mobile player who recently started playing, i was trying to ask the chat for help but no one would help me, so thanks for this !

Katanas are quite scary indeed

THANKS!! this will really help me be as annoying as possible

Guy that plays to much shuriken here. A bunch of things he hast said Katana is actually one of your best matchups if he’s below a certain hp or he wiffed his q. The ultimate combo used for unsuspecting enemies is: fullcharge m1, single charge m1, m2, m1. That’s 65 damage and 25 does pierce M2 DEALS PIERCE ON BACKSTAB PEOPLE (rockets ain’t surviving this one) don’t forget to use m2 (it’s pretty good)!!!!! if it’s not safe to q in you can always just poke at a distance his damage is serverly underrated from a range i don’t know if this is true but: if you want to deal damage full charge m1 is your friend, if you are in a fight and you want to use your passive to get behind enemies and backstab them: spam m1

thank u for the tips ! now, time to try to become a mosquito

When a slingshot keeps wasting his phinisher on your shadow clone: 🗿🗿💀💀🗿

Poggers video, keep it up

Nice video, pretty helpful!

Factually incorrect, multiple pro player have dubbed me the best shuriken in the world (all those people are me)

_"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"_ - Shuriken

Heya I watched this video and trie shuri out It was a rocky start but after awhile I got really great as shuri an pulle a 21 kill 0 deaths and 2 assist game!

As someone who clicked on this video even though i dont even play Shuri and main subspace i see this as a absolute win

Bro just saved my gameplay

Cool video

I tested shuriken's Q ability before, and the reason it doesn't do it ( when you showed you trying to use it at 1:30 ) is because it's too far. If it's like.. a million miles away, it won't work. The cooldown will be like 3 ish seconds instead of 10, if it doesn't work.

comment for the algorithm

Me: plays katana* hehehe, i am bug spray.

i up this

Im thinking about playing, what would you recommend for first time players
