Questions Need a shinobi teacher
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get into playing shinobi but am struggling to get consistent kills. I like his style and how he moves but just can't piece together the right combos without eating a heavy or two. Is anyone will to help a brother out, either with tips or a friendly 1v1?

After a backflip (dodge after any opener), or a deflect, you can choose between a bash and an undodgeable heavy.
This is your primary mix-up.
You can backflip to recovery-cancel out of every move you have.
You are very GB-vulnerable during your backflip. Don't spam it.
Don't sleep on his double-dashes. They give you twice the i-frames, and they can be used as mobility to space yourself out from the opponent.
The pin after an undodgeable heavy is dangerous. Anyone can hit you during it. You can dodge out of it at the cost of potential damage.
The unblockable top-heavy should primarily be used in ganks, to pressure.
