This is something that just came to mind recently and I felt that I should share.
We all know Shinobi needs a rework and I'm honestly surprised that he didn't get one in the latest TG. His whole kit doesn't work really well and isn't really fun to use.
I based this concept around the idea that Shinobi's goal is to land kicks and sickle rain. My Suggestions are as followed:
Remove the double dodge entirely. Although it may be cool visually it is very vulnerable, slow, and ineffective.
Shinobi should gain normal dodge attacks, which includes Zhanhu style side dodge heavies and lights that hit from opposite sides (chains into heavy finisher).
A side and forward dodge kick which is the same as the current one (just without double dodge) and guarantees a ranged heavy.
A forward dodge heavy that is undodgeable (chains into heavy finisher).
Heavy finisher should be undodgeable and slightly faster (reason behind speed increase is because at current speed if you dodge when he rolls you are able recover fast enough to block the heavy).
Add a Light, Heavy Combo.
Add a Light, Light, Heavy Combo.
Add a Heavy, Light, Heavy Combo.
Front Roll Kick should guarantee special ranged heavy that is not able to be followed up by a roll and should be capable of wall splat if it doesn't already.
Slightly increase speed and distance of backflip.
Allow the zone's third attack to be undodgeable and make it capable of being canceled into a kick with a range heavy punish similar to that of the dodge kick.
Ranged heavies should be enhanced to allow a follow up into a Front Roll even after being blocked.
This concludes my rework concept for Shinobi. I feel that these changes will allow shinobi to become overall a better character that is more in line with the others.
