What I love about Shao is how different kameos can change his gameplan. With Khameleon he's a neutral monster with stand 2, but then with someone like Tremor he becomes reiko levels of scary with his command grab

[@halo621]

Yea if only reikos actually used it instead they run away and throw them Damm stars

[@Luis-gn7ln]

@@halo621some not all I play with Janet and reiko I rather get in for the combos and damage

[@halo621]

@Luis-gn7ln yea but a majority of Reikos play super lame and he's supposed to be a grappler

[@Luis-gn7ln]

@@halo621 yeah that’s how I use him zoning is boring to me even quan chi I don’t use him with zoning 😂😂

[@magicxxrjxx536]

Completely different depending on kameo and I love it.

[@KILLMOVES_47]

Damn you the reason i main reiko

[@Dragonfly_Jones]

You’re the reason I picked up Reiko, but I’m def with the Shao switch up. How’s the Peacemaker matchup?

[@dc5art805]

Your Li Mei is nasty. Bet you could go far with her in tournament. You even had Sonic hesitate to poke because of how you can consistently punish pokes.

[@splav2649]

Now it's impossible.

[@cameronjs222]

I get why she doesn’t get play in tournaments as a li mei main, she can be difficult at times. But when you get an opponent trained, terrified to interrupt your flow, she is amazing! Rewind plays her amazingly and would kick ass.

[@bryanbridges6152]

As a fellow Shao main with u being one of the reasons why I play the character I say hell ya

[@user-tf7pr9wm7i]

He’s more dynamic but it really depends on the matchup cause he can get zoned..but you should definitely play him

[@ag_miller]

I think you know my answer to the question the video title poses, as much as I love watching your shao LOL

[@Jaytheteen]

Dash up grab is crazy Mr Rewind😂

[@Reverdes1]

you need to be a shao main I love all the shao videos and his combo damage is crazy

[@GhostOfficial-0187]

Bro for some odd reason me and you always pick up the same characters .. I believe you’d be a MONSTER with Tanya/Goro.💯

[@PLAYER01-zh5kp]

Bro when do you stream id love to watch the gameplay live 🙌🔥🔥

[@legoshi3339]

Shao main here, hell yeah!

[@davidcamder7054]

ayy i got a lil kameo at the end lmao. W rewind

[@Notaytchannel-i4v]

Random but is it mean or is it like jax isn’t in the game anymore? I haven’t seen that kamel in a while

[@louiswalmsley]

Can’t u do both and just switch depending on the match up

[@lautarofrijon797]

Yes

[@Notaytchannel-i4v]

I wouldn’t mind it. I can’t see you getting better with reiko or finding anything new until new kameos come out and it’s not like you’re gonna forget how to play him. With shao I think it’s more to explore and you’re already more than good enough with him as is.

[@mmyysstt]

Was really nervous playing you when i saw you appear! Buff Nitara 🎉

[@BattleBrotherCastem]

You did so good! be proud of yourself this is a top player right here.

[@adelowoadegbite3896]

Hey rewind are you going to LCQ?

[@RewindNV]

no

[@wakanddaforever2515]

YESSS!!!!

[@Son1cdragon123]

Definitely main him he can make any kameo work and in your hands he's god like😮😂

[@JunWalker-js9xc]

u should make a Reiko Janet combo tutorial

[@Geanfranco1010]

Try replicating his combos in the lab, the reiko/janet bnb is very easy to do

[@alanc643]

Yes, Shao or Li Mei. Focus on those 2.

[@bossbudz86]

Yes yes yes 🙌 ✊

[@gabg6020]

How good is shao movado now? I played it in KL and I’m struggling HARD😢

[@deadliftdevotion15]

Good just think shao is a little clunky. Top tier kameos like kameleon, janet, cyrax and Lao just run this game tho. Motaro/goro for a few

[@sichain]

Yesss

[@Elrudo2games]

I think limei is your best , Should try kungloa too this lao mk1 is pretty good i guess and easy to play mk11 not to easy

[@Meysamkm]

Yes you should

[@darrenoconnell6196]

Great with both but u prob do more damage with shao 👌

[@schwazooo6553]

I main shoa, but I feel like since he doesn’t have a solid mid and his armor move can be low profiled he has a lot of bad match ups because of it.

[@fin-sofficialf4l125]

As a shao main I love shao with movado

[@EnbyTre]

Whatever gets you that bag. I just enjoy watching your gameplay

[@DayyzCrazy]

Mileena video coming soon?! 1:17💯😭😭

[@jay-stl9796]

Yes please please yes type shiiii

[@Cokeboy1361]

You should definitely main shao

[@BlackSiphoNz]

I think you got nasty mix ups with Shao jumping mix up is not very good in this game . Forcing armor is better imo

[@havelinaaa5053]

Does that Nitara have a YT? That movement was kinda nasty from her

[@mmyysstt]

i do!

[@havelinaaa5053]

@myst8488 I'm a little late to reply but I absolutely LOVE the way you play Nitara! She's so nice for being a flying fighter and you really showed us what she can do

[@splav2649]

Let's meet the facts. Most of important matches in tourneys you dealed with Shao, not Reiko. And that cost you some results. Therefore deep down that was for a reason. Therefore Shao, not Reiko, may be your main choice. But that also doesn't mean, that you should abandon Reiko. And that doesn't mean you shouldn't pick another characters.

[@kristoffsouffront1638]

Honestly, yes. There aren’t enough Shao mains. You and Dyloch are the only pros that actually play Shao at a high level.

[@bryanbridges6152]

I wish VGY would stick with Shao more in tournaments but I understand why he doesn't as well

[@DRKSTAR2099]

@rewindnv I won a tournament in egypt thanks to you Gave everyone the reiko experience Thanks a lot man

[@niyioke8755]

Both

[@scotchbarrel4429]

Shao& Mavado 👊

[@normandodsonjr]

Yes but pocket Reiko and Li Mei. When you pick Shao you turn into a beast. Picking Reiko all the time makes you too predictable. You have the execution to manage all three.

[@roul3688]

Shao and Li Mei are the way

[@herberthoover4237]

REWIND PLEASE GOTTA LET REIKO GO STICK TO SHAO OR ANY TOP TIER

[@Civoker]

Reiko is top tier

[@wascourge9817]

Day 3 of asking for a Reiko Janet combo tutorial

[@Rat4ever]

As another Reiko main how do you win soo much with him when the game made him worse than any other character

[@viva0112]

Shao or Reiko??? Let me think... I choose Li Mei :D

[@macaroni_SPK]

I understand why not but I'd rather see Li Mei honestly.

[@xzyth831]

I am the first person here and yesssssss 100% on this decision. Your shao is him and this character personally he's some bad news when played at a higher level he has everything . Love this and I love you it's time to stand.

[@louis550]

Reiko is ridiculous, he’s such a well rounded character he has literally no losing matchup besides peace maker but with tremor he can armour sweep for a full combo. You not sticking to Reiko I think is what is costing you, believe in the power he is a really really good character.

[@Tchiva]

Yeah but it be gettin boring js playin the same char for 8 months, his li mei look crazy.

[@louis550]

@@Tchiva won’t stop the Raiden cyrax and Baraka cyrax players gotta stick to your guns especially in a tournament

[@abubakarsadiq7961]

Absolutely main Shao, he is the answer to Johnny players TBH

[@incrediblis]

4:36 DID I SEE THE CYRAX METER RIGHT??

[@bigboysmoke692]

Yes, nrs have said they are keeping it until final kombat is over.

[@fortunefiderikumo]

Yes they accidentally reversed it with the homelander patch

[@serosh9587]

Definitely! Shao does need a new move though, a better projectile.

[@br0dyj08n9]

No he doesn't he's already broken in close quarters now you want him to be good in both?

[@serosh9587]

@@br0dyj08n9 Why not?

[@McDayWalker02]

@@br0dyj08n9he’s only broken if you’re a braindead scrub. His mix is so slow you just D1 out of his. He has no good pokes, no significant plus frames and ways to reinforce them. I hate fighting Shao, but you’re just bad if you think he’s broken. And the dude isn’t saying to make Shao a zoner, but he absolutely needs a projectile.

@@McDayWalker02 biased response at it's fullest saying shaos mix isn't good and I'm ranked 100 in the leader bored so you literally can't argue with me as I bet you aren't even anywhere near that number

I like Shao more, so…..yes.

[@lutfysalim5998]

I definitely think shao is better than reiko and will get you further though if you mained a character like Johnny I dont doubt you would become a final kombat participant next year.

noooo dont :P

no

[@owlflame]

i main Shao. It's fun. But I think if people got more experience *against* him he'd really go down the tier list. I truly believe this.

[@br0dyj08n9]

Cap he would still be a good character just because people get more experience from going against certain characters doesn't make the character bad

[@owlflame]

@@br0dyj08n9 I never said he’d be bad. He’d be the same level of good he is now.

@@owlflame you actually did when you say a character would really go down the tier list your saying he would be in a bad spot

@@br0dyj08n9 no. He’d be in the same spot. He’d just go down the tier list for people. I don’t know why you think I’m saying he’d actively become a worse character. It’s not like experience issues a balance patch nerfing the character.
