I'm curious to know if any Shuma Gorath players out there would like to share 
with me a few thing about his game that makes him fun and efective. Like traps, 
and who should back him up. I am using Shuma (b), Spiral (g), and Capcom (b). 
All help and suggestions are appreciated.
Thank-you.

Shuma suffers in this game quite a bit. he really can't get out of traps and he 
lost his ability to spawn. I guess if you're playing for fun and your opponent 
isn't using any traps then you will do alright. 
I personally like to team shuma with BH's AAA. If the person blocks the assist 
walk up and devitalization them. Always use down and HK it pushes people back 
and you can follow up with the eyes. Use the kick throw as often as possible. 
Use devitalization as much as possible. Avoid the traps if possible. Don't 
always go for the chaos dimension.

Where is he best played air or ground? When I use him I always promise myself 
I'll stay ground and back him up with Capcom, but I always end up jumping around 
like a fool. His Mystic Smash seems to have less recovery time when come from 
the air at least that is how I see it.
I never played Shuma in any other vs. games so I can't remember his prime- ahh 
well I still think he's cool!

Don't use the mystic smash in the air or on the ground unless you know it going 
to connect. People least expect the mystic smash when you have super jumped and 
are on the way down but use that tactic rarely. Basically, you should turtle by 
doing down roundhouse plus for example Doom's AAA, followed by the mystic stare, 
run up and do standing roundhouse, mystic stare, then down roundhouse and start 
over again. This isn't a very good trap but it should slow down the pace and let 
you build super quickly.
Shuma is best on the ground. If you must jump, make sure you always super jump.
Shuma is basically helpless against the Sentinal,BH trap so try and avoid this 
trap at all costs by pitbulling the hell out of Sentinal before he can start the 
trap.(Easier said than done)
