As several Hearthstone players have correctly pointed out, I didn't quite explain some of Shudderwock's properties correctly/fully. While an "infinite loop" didn't occur precisely as I described, it was still possible with the combination of Grumble, Worldshaker, Saronite Chain Gang, and Murmuring Elemental. If you'd like to learn precisely how all of it worked, there are plenty of in-depth articles that can explain it (and the rest of the card game) in great detail. Feel free to Google something like "How The Shudderwock Combo Works". Don't listen to some filthy casual like me.

It's not though it's just a different meta than it used to be, many old school players see what happens in a modern game and call it broken because it's faster. However Konami is pretty good at banning any cards that get too out of control and balancing new combos with ways to take them down, for example the very idea of "hand traps" was invented to allow someone to stop their opponent doing too much on turn one. It's easy as well to say "oh boy if you had X+Y+Z in your hand and Q in your graveyard you can beat someone turn one!" but the random nature of the game means that certain "broken" combos like that will only happen once out of like twenty games if you're lucky. which is no way to win competitively.

you know the saying "it's not a bug, it's a feature"? well I have to say that things like shudderwock are basically the most evil version of this. things like catapult turtle were likely an accident the first time around, but it's not exactly a secret that companies who make these games create cards like that on purpose. then they charge you a lot of money to get them, they sit for a few months while everyone saves up to buy this new card that is basically the best in the game and the only way to win in the current meta, then they act like they are responding to complaints about how broken the game is and they nerf the card. rinse and repeat until nobody can play the game like they used to and the only players left are the ones that love going up against people with basically the exact same deck and continually shell out money so they can be the first ones to climb to the top of the ranks by having the new card before anyone else.

I think that the ability for developers to react to and fix problems with their games as they arise after publishing is a really great thing, but it also promotes the idea that you don't actually have to finish the game before you send it out. Another thing that makes some games still so loved after all this time is that they have glitches and bugs that can be exploited for whatever reason, but that's not a thing with modern games because devs will remove glitches if they don't like them. It would just be nice to not wonder what your game is going to be.

@nobodybroda3826

Жыл бұрын

I know this is a year old but I wanna respond anyway, my worry is...well go back to an old game you love and look up glitches or some bug that you can exploit for infinite items or something. You played it legit as a kid and enjoyed it, now you go back and you play a whole other way, over powering everything or just doing something you weren't intended to! But now look at the modern market, those glitches get patched out, sacrificed to make the experience good for everyone else. Honestly it takes a bit of magic from those games and makes em bland pieces to consume and then toss, especially if its a niche thats often filled.

As a casual scrub who's never made it past Rank 10 since Classic, a couple things: 1. It is possible to have a Shudderwock without dropping $60+ on packs through the dust mechanic (though it's still pricy as hell - 1600 dust doesn't just pop out of nowhere). I assume you just wanted to get the point across of Shudderwock being valuable enough to burn money on, but it's prudent to let people know this stuff. 2. When a Shudderwock is copied, the copy's Battlecry doesn't go off. You have to actually play the card for it to go off. (I assume you said it like this just to get the point across to people who don't play HS, but it's a nitpick that means enough when considering things such as mana costs and hand size.) 3. As you have addressed, Blizzard has exponentially raised the animation times on Shudderwock specifically to combat this problem. However, you're not completely locked into a never-ending cycle of animations - forfeiting (which you probably will have to do, since if Shudderwock goes off, it's probably too late) cancels all animations and immediately ends the game. 4. This video also kinda understates the fact that Shudderwock is a very late game card, as not only do you have to play it (turn 9 minimum), you must also get the full combo of Lifedrinker/Saronite/Grumble (which means drawing and playing one of each by themselves) and - this is a key thing people miss - getting the order of the Battlecries to line up as Saronite -> Grumble (this point is a bit moot with Murmuring, but it's important, because it's possible for the combo to actually fail in this case). In the time that you spend getting the combo ready, you need to also dodge and deal with all your opponent's threats (and this is the expansion when Baku Hunter became a thing - hello, turn 4 lethal - and Taunt Druid was unleashed - aka, more armor [bonus Life to non-HS players] than freaking Control Warrior). Just some points that I felt should've been touched upon, if only for the sake of rounding out the video. Shudderwock, while it is annoying as hell and unfun when you're on the receiving end of it, isn't exactly the pinnacle of OTK lockout decks in Hearthstone (that would be Freeze/Quest Mage, Miracle and Quest Rogue, Patron Warrior, Deathrattle Hunter, Razakus Priest, and Cubelock, all of which got nerfed pretty hard). Good video, hope to see more. :) Oh yeah, almost forgot: M Y J A W S T H A T B I T E M Y C L A W S T H A T C A T C H Edit: Made sure to note that all the unfun decks got nerfed hard, but forgot to mention that Cubelock is more manageable now, due to recent patch.

When Magic started experiencing a slew of bans in Standard this year, I immediately thought back to this video, as thanks to the pandemic, Standard is now played exclusively on Magic Arena. And on Arena, your cards are not physical goods. They can't be traded or sold. They can't even be dusted like the ones in Hearthstone. The only compensation the devs give you is wild cards of equal rarity to the cards that were banned. But what about all the other rare cards that synergized with it that WEREN'T banned, and are now powerless? Players essentially have no choice but to start their collections over again. It's not an unsolvable conundrum, but it lays bare the dubious economics underlying lootbox-style monetization of digital card games to those who may not have done the math beforehand, or were too invested in the game to care. It's the reason games like this are starting to draw the attention of lawmakers in some countries as they brush up against anti-gambling regulations.

One of my favorite infinites of all time in PTCG was Dialga GX in Expanded. For people who don't know, Pokemon GX have a GX attack that is essentially once per game. Keyword: essentially. In Cosmic Eclipse, the set introduced Misty and Lorelei, where if you discard cards from your hand, your Water Pokemon GX can use their GX attack again, which essentially can lead to an infinite if you do it turn after turn. So, Dialga GX's GX attack deals a bunch of damage, and, wait for it... LET'S YOU HAVE ANOTHER TURN. So make Dialga Water type with a Vaporeon, and if you're lucky (you have to flip a coin for M+L), you win the game. It is stupid and fun, and is obviously why Dialga is banned.

The only thing card companies can do when their card game breaks, is to either fix the pack it was included in and nerf/remove that card and replace it. The only other thing that can happen is if the community agrees that that card cannot be played at all in competitive battles. The thing is opposite in online games. The company can easily just nerf the card Willy nilly. I have no idea what my point is here.

7:05 Thats... Thats not how Shudderwock works at all. The copies dont trigger their battleycry when summoned, only when cast from the hand. Plus, the order it triggers them in is random, meaning the Grumble one could go off before the Chain-Gang effect, making Murmuring Elemental necessary, as its what ensures that you get the 1 cost Shudderwock copies on your next turn without leaving it to chance.

It doesn't include itself. You already have better earnest and intuition than the video essayist lol. Shudderwock's battlecry happens because it is 'played from hand'. Actually all battlecries happen because, when a card is 'played from hand'. So imagine Shudderwock causes any such random battlecries that happen when he hits the board, in a kind of affirmative manner; they never included him afaik, and actually the devs had to edit the card so it'd include battlecries of cards released after Shudderwock after player outcry. People got more Shudderwocks in one game by copying the card in literal ways unlike could happen in any other card game ie mtg. In retrospect it was clever, but you'd never say that at the time, in almost any sense lol. Everyone wanted to do the combo. This video essayist characterizes his mistake as being wrong on technical details but literally proved that he didn't even appreciate the card game for what it was if he experienced enough bustass ingame. Each card he mentions in the top comment is another card conflated without mention with Shudderwock, so a _whole_ _combo..._ just to say 'tHE PrOBleM wItH SHuDdeRwOCk' lmao.

So many things wrong on this video... 5:00 - You don't need to spend that much money to get a Legendary. You can just use Arcane Dust to get it. You get Arcane Dust by discarding cards you don't want. Then you can spend that Dust to create any card you want. (Of course, the cost of creating a card is more expensive than what you would get by discarding it. But I won't get too deep into the explanation or the values and costs of each rarity.) So, in the worst case scenario, if you were to buy packs, and discard every single card, and you only received cards with the least possible value (a.k.a. 1 rare and 4 commons per pack) you would have the Dust to get a legendary of your choice in 40 packs. Oh, and a Bonus: you can play this game for free. I'm a free-to-play player and I crafted a Shudderwock after the release. And I have a deck with him. It's not that hard. 7:00 - The copy's battlecry DOES NOT trigger. Battlecry is a mechanic that activates as the card is PLAYED from your hand. Not when it's SUMMONED in any other way. The copies' battlecries DO trigger if they are sent back to hand and played accordingly, which is the whole point of the deck (Saronite Chain Gang + Grumble, Worldshaker). But for that you need mana, or you need to wait for the next turn to play 10 Shudderwocks (each one costing 1 because of Grumble). The turn you play it you can only play 2 Shudderwocks: the first one costing 9 mana and a second one costing 1. 11:15 - Whenever Blizzard nerfs a card, they give you full refund for that card in Arcane Dust. Remember when I said you spend more Dust creating a card than you would get discarding it? For a few weeks after the nerf, anyone that discards the nerfed card will get the full value. That means if you spent Dust creating said card, you get that Dust back, and if you opened it randomly in a Booster, you get to choose any other card of the same rarity for you to create. It's like a Magic Card was banned and Wizards of the Coast said: "If you give us this card that costs 15 dollars, we give you 15 dollars to buy any other cards you want". However, this, unfortunately, didn't happen with Shudderwock, because the changes shown at 10:49 weren't considered nerfs by Blizzard, since they didn't change the power level of the card in any way, they just sped up the animation. (I would disagree and say the new maximum of 20 Battlecries was a nerf. But I'm saying how Blizzard saw it.) If it was indeed a nerf by Blizzard's eyes, we would have received full refund as usual.

MTG, Yugioh and at one point even Pokémon all had or still have ways to interact with your opponent on THEIR turn. This allows both players to have an equal amount of autonomy allowing them to FEEL as if they can win. Now, current games like HS and the Pokémon TCG have no real forms of interactions with your opponent. You just have to sit and watch them do WHATEVER they want with 0 drawbacks.

There is a ton more deceptive information in this video

I think it a fundamental flaw of all trading card games, that they will break eventually. The publisher always want to make new cards and they will always be (slightly) better than the last to encourage players to buy them. Over time not only get the cards stronger, they usually get more complex and since there are more and more cards overall, the numbers of interaction and combo-possibilities gets exponentially more complex. So sooner or later all trading card games would break, thats why we have ban/forbidden lists. For Yugioh in particular: It lacks a gatekeeping resource. In the past this resource was "time" as you needed to draw your card from you deck and you were limited in your summons per turn. Nowadays you deck is pretty much completly accessible at turn1, special summon is more common than normal summon and your GY, ExtraDeck and even your (face-up) banish stack are extensions of your hand. The thing that actually stops your FTKs are hand-traps in your opponents hand, which are more or less obligatory.

Ryan the simplest way to explain it is that battlecries only trigger if a minion is played from your hand. If it is played any other way, it usually called "summon" rather than "play". Summon doesn't trigger battlecries. So Chain Gangs ability is "summon a copy of itself". Thus any copies made will have buffs and any other card effects (like taunt), but will not trigger it's own battlecry. Otherwise you'd play one Chain Gang and fill the board. Playing Shudderwock is messy and chaotic...so I can understand why someone might think it'll work twice. But, fact is, it does not.

"The Digimon nerds, but I mean, come on" 10/10

One of my favorite deck synergies in early Hearthstone involved Kel'Thuzad, Faceless Manipulator, and Reincarnate. Kel'thuzad has an active ability that resurrects any minion that dies while he's in play. Faceless Manipulator has a battlecry that lets it turn into a copy of any other minion on the field you own, even Legendary ones, and it will remain in that form until it's killed. Reincarnate causes a card to die and immediately resurrect with all effects applied to it reset. However, and this is the important part, Reincarnate still counts as a minion dying. So you would slap down Kel'thuzad, and then use Faceless to copy him. Then, you would use Reincarnate on one of them. This causes the one Kel'thuzad left standing to resurrect the one that died, and it doesn't care that Reincarnate spawns a second one already. This means you now have three Kel'thuzads. And unless the opponent can destroy all three on that single turn, things have now gone off the rails. Kel'thuzad's ability will go off individually for each Kel'thuzad, and they will in turn clone anything on your side of the board that dies by a factor of however many Kel'thuzads there are. Which, as established earlier, includes Kel'thuzad himself. This madness only stops if you physically cannot fit any more minions onto the board, and it does not take that long to reach that point, especially if you have cards that you can use to directly kill your own minions. Meaning that you now have a wall of 6/8 self-replicating skeleton men taking up your end of the field unless your opponent manages to kill all of them in one turn, something that takes either a very tricky one-turn play, using Deathwing's battlecry, or using the Twisting Nether spell.

@Gandalf no, while he does show us how he plays the combo, he doesnt show us everything that is happening, instead he only shows us small portions of it, so you cant fully see how everything plays out. Basically the combo plays around getting a copy of shudderwock back to your hand wich then costs 1 mana, so that you can play 10x shudderwock on the next turn and 10 times 3 (life drinker effect) or even 10 times 6 is enough to otk your opponent. That being said the combo has a chance to go horribly wrong if your grumble effect (return the minions at the cost of 1) is triggered before shudderwock creates a copy of it self. The only way to guarantee that that is going to happen is by playing the murmuring elemental before playing shudderwock. I hope that helps if you still have questions feel free to ask me :D

I remember when i was in highschool my friends and i would often play some casual games of MTG during our free periods at school (casual in that we didn't really care much about any of the meta strategies and would just play with whatever cards we happened to have). One day i decided to try going to the games club after school, and in literally the very first match my opponent wiped the floor with me in like 3 turns using a tailor-made Cascade deck. That was the last time i ever went to the games club after school.

not only that, in MTG and other tabletop TCGs, banned/restricted cards often are more expensive, even though they cannot be used, so if you don't want it, you will likely get the money back from that card in the long run, especially if you wait a few years and keep the card mint.

Tell that to Deathrite Shaman

As a regular Hearthstone player, I feel like this video isn't really providing the whole story on Shudderwock. Regardless of the misinformation at 7:03 (You need to individually play each Shudderwock for multiple effects of its Battlecry, Saronite Chain Gang alone will not do that), there is also the fact that even though this seemingly impossible to beat combo existed, it wasn't a very good deck when it first released. The combo simply was too slow to assemble for it to gain any leeway, and the deck was actually rarely played for quite a while. Of course that doesn't mean it wasn't frustrating to play against, but the card wasn't necessarily broken, it simply was unfun due to the nature of animations in Hearthstone. If the card didn't have any animations at the time, it would have been a completely fine card. Also, the "nerf" it then received didn't change how the card worked except for very fringe cases and for speeding up the animation speed. Nowadays Shudderwock decks are in a pretty healthy spot tbh. They have good and bad matchups, and while their power level may still need to be tuned, they don't come even close to breaking the game. There are cards and combos that can break a card game, and while Shudderwock may have appeared to do so, it still was a pretty balanced card for the game.

Smilin’ Prophet But that's not actually what's happening. The copies actually don't do anything when they first enter the battlefield, because they battlecries only activate when a minion comes into play from your hand. Your first shudderwock typically does 6 damage, summons 1-2 copies of itself, then returns it and the copies to your hand. The thing is that the NEXT shudderwock you play will repeat the battlecry of the last one, and so on. In the video he's just showing the 2nd or 3rd shudderwock he played.

I mean, not only is this not how the combo works, its not even the most aggregious deck thats been made, making it too 10 mana is shocking what with rush meta always going for turn 4 wins since the third expansion.

This happens in magic, quite a bit. Infinite combos exist because they're so many different cards that synergize with each other. Mind you, most them are only played in commander or EDH which is 100 card decks, so it can be quite difficult to pull them off. In modern which is 60 car there was a turn one win deck, but one of the pieces was banned I believe.

A couple things I want to add. 1. When you open card packs, you can get duplicates of anything below Legendary rarity (the orange gem in the middle means Legendary), and if you get duplicates, or just cards you never plan on using, you can disenchant them for dust, which can slowly be collected to create the card you want to use. Also there are ways to slowly accumulate packs and gold to buy packs without paying, but it is EXTREMELY slow. 2. At least in the last year or so, any time they nerf a card, they refund it's dust value to the owner of the card, and let you keep the card too. Which means you can keep the card if you still want to use it, and also use that dust to craft a card of the same rarity, or multiple cards of less rarity. 3. Loved the video, and completely agree with it.

Yeah you can tell that Austin is not the most hardcore gamer. Shudderwock is not a Tier 1 deck, has never been, just as almost all combo decks are. This is basically a noob rant packed into the high quality videos we are used to. :p

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, "no player can play if the loop do the thing continuously" loops are auto looses for the loop player.

@williamhallam706

3 жыл бұрын

not rue, the rule is a bit more specific. the loop is only illegal if it is infinite and does not result in a change in game state. for example if you deal infinite damage to your opponent then its legal because there is a change in game state resulting in a loss of life points. if however all your loop does is just bring a monster back on the field only for it to go to the GY and then back on the field and nothing changes that would progress the game for example then its illegal. basically if your infinite combo does not directly result in you winning the game then its illegal. so if you are going to go infinite with your cards then it better win you the game without needing you opponent to surrender

7:04 ...No? That's not how it works at all! Battlecry only triggers on cards you play directly from the hand, not minions that are summoned or put into play through other effects! If that were how it worked, just playing a single Saronite Chain Gang would fill your entire board with Taunt Minions! This is incredibly misrepresentative... You also can't play Murmuring and Shudderwock in the same turn unless there's mana generation or cost reduction involved, since the pair costs 11 Mana, and you ARE able to perform actions before an animation is complete, because the game processes faster than it animates. Not only that, but your opponent doesn't even have to wait for you to finish because the option to concede is literally right there! I'm starting to wonder if you've even played Hearthstone at all...

So much wrong with this video. Over half the things you say are not true. Do you even play the game? 5:00 Nope, you can just craft the card. 6:55 The copied Shudderwok will NOT activate again, you'll need to have played Grumble before this, so you return it to hand and that is only if your Saronite Chain gang goes off before Grumble, otherwise the combo wont work. 7:28 Okay, so even if your turn ends, the battlecry does not. The battlecry will ALWAYS play out until its over. 7:50 How are you going to play Murmuring Elemental for 2 mana and then cast Shudderwok for 9 mana. You only have 10 mana to work with. This will only work if you're going second, and somehow kept the Coin. Not impossible, but very unlikely. 9:32 No you're not. As you said, both players know who is going to win, so if you're the losing player, just surrender/concede. 10:25 It is so far from game breaking. It's not even THAT good. It's not like you'll win every time. This deck has a hard time against aggro decks. 11:11 If Blizzard nerfs a card it'll give you a full refund on dust. Most people buy it with dust anyways, so this was essentialy a free card while it lasted I honestly thing you should have done some more homework before releasing this video. You obviously don't know how the card/hearthstone works.

1. Don't act like you know the game when you don't. 2. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to get one card, you can just craft it. 3. Battlecries don't activate when summoned, they activate when played. 4. Shudderwock is only an average deck and has never been very good. 5. Many other decks have made people concede at the start, like pirate warrior. 6. When a card is nerfed you are compensated by letting you craft a new card of the same rarity instead.

Got reminded by this video because of inscryption. A card called Pharaoh's Pets lets you sacrifice it to play blood cards infinitely. The Ouroboros, a blood card, gains 1 attack(inscryption calls it power, but it's the same thing) and 1 health every time it dies, and also returns to your hand(as in, not in your deck or just deleted for that match). The Necromancer revives a unit when it dies, and then that revived unit immediately dies. There's a training dummy in act 2 featuring an enemy who does no damage and can block your damage. There's also a hammer feature which lets you kill your cards. So basically, you set up your Necromancer(or two, if you want extra brokeness), Pet, and Ouroboros, and you can create a loop of buffing your Ouroboros infinitely, not to mention creating infinite copies of that OP Ouroboros in your hand. It's tough to pull the Shudderwock-esque full combo in normal fights, but even just having an infinitely powerful Ouroboros(as his buffed stats stay past the fight) is still incredibly stupidly overpowered.

Shudderwock never broke the game, you could just concede when the animation began and the game was over. 3. You dont have to buy 70$ Packs to get the card lol Just play the game, get some gold and dust and craft the card for free. 4. The battlecry will not activate when it's copied. Only if you play a card from your hand the battlecry will activate.

For the combo itself he claims that when a card gets summoned it triggers it's battlecry, but that's completely untrue. It only triggers the battlecry when you play it directly from your hand, so the saronite chain gang battlecry doesn't repeat the shudderwock battlecry infinitely. Also the deck itself was extreme weak, required tons of setup, took 2 turns late game, and was easily countered. It was more of a meme than an actual deck. And again you can concede and cancel all animations, so the "wait for 30 minutes for it to finish" is blatantly false.

Been happening like this since the old days. After the power 9 got restricted, cards like Berserk, Wheel of Fortune, Fork, Balance, and so many others got restricted. Then errata became a thing and the cards didn’t do what they said on the card anymore... Imagine paying $75 in 1994 for a Chaos Orb and then seeing it get banned next week?

Watching this 3 years later and I instantly had flashbacks when it said “jaws that bite and claws that touch”

7:00 actually it doesn't work like that. For a battlecry to be activated it has to be played from a player hand, thats why Grumble is part of the combo. The Saronite Chain Gang is just for board and more copies 1 mana in hand aftes using Grumble battlecry

Kinda a hard video for me to get through. Spoilers, Shudderwok is not a broken card in the game. It's a competitive deck, but isn't extraordinarily powerful or unbeatbable. A lot of the times it can't kill the enemy in one turn, and the animation was sped up. Oh, and by the way THERE ARE COMBOS IN THIS GAME THAT KILL YOU IN ONE TURN! Velen Priest, Antonidas Mage, Malygos Druid. These also have long animations for the enemy as well. Then there are slower, more aggravating and consistent decks that way worse, like Taunt Druid, which uses a non-interactive combo to fill the board with huge valuable minions, after spending the whole time after sitting behind taunts and building up armor, and then they do it again! And again!

Austin's explanation of Shudderwock's OTK combo is worded incorrectly. What he should have said was:"... Next, the chain gang battle cry activates, making a new Shudderwock. Then Gumble's battle cry activates, putting that new Shudderwock into your hand for just 1 mana. Now you can play Shudderwock infinitely, up to 10 times per turn. Each time you do, you deal 6 damage to your opponent, and heal for 6 damage. So, on the turn after the first Shudderwock, you will be able to deal 60 damage and heal for 60 HP by playing those 1 mana Shudderwocks 10 times. This is where it gets out of hand, as the animations take up a ton of time..." The way he explains in the video suggests that the new copy of Shudderwock would play their battle cry as soon as they got summoned, which is not the case.

The only thing you needed to do is to do the quests and then play one Arena game/day. Not get tempted to buy packs wherever you get the enough gold. Once you get skilled at the game you can easily get 60 packs a month without spending anything; which is enough to construct one competitive deck - so you can build new deck every month; after a six months you have quite a large catalog of cards which is usually the speed a new expansion gets released. Granted you need to play 2-3 hours a day, but if you want to "win" you're going to need to play that much regardless you pay for it or not.

Dude, the point you're making is the same in a lotta TCG/CCG. Konami does it in response to everyone hopping onto a bandwagon of an overpowered or underestimated effect. In competitive play in Yu-gi-oh, you are required to have the most recent erratas of cards in your deck if they come with effects that change how they function. An example of one you wouldn't need the most recent version of would be Swap Frog. First print was a mess, a lot of folks who didn't know frogs were confused as hell. His most recent print didn't change his effect, but condensed the wording and made it a lot more straightforward to folks new to frogs. The example you used, Catapult Turtle, has gotten six Errata so far. This would be one you'd need a new copy of because the effect has changed to a soft once per turn (You can activate the effect as many times as you have copies of Catapult Turtle on the field once a turn), so you would need a newer copy if you had Erratum 5 or before. I don't mean to be invalidating, but it's been happening in Yu-gi-oh and other TCG/CCG for awhile.

Allem Cardenas Summoned minions (from mechanics like Saronite Chain Gang's battlecry or resurrection if playing Priest) do not trigger their battlecry. If this was the case, Saronite Chain Gang would repeat its battlecry until the board is full. Also, opening packs is not the only avenue to obtain cards, as duplicates can be broken down into Arcane Dust, allowing players to target specific cards they don't own and immediately add them to their collection. Frankly the first point is the bigger issue imo as it shows a fundamental lack of game knowledge on even a basic level.

Biggest mistake at 7:00. Summoned copies don't trigger the Battlecry. Minions have to be cast from the hand to trigger a Battlecry. He also makes a ton of exaggerations. Shudderwock never "ripped through the meta". The problem was only the animation time. The Shudderwock combo is still in the game, but it's more tier 2-3.

this is editied so well
