@hotwhire wow every outfit on DA was horrible for god sake they made subzero look like george clooney MK 1 and MK 3 where his best outfits, and i have to say if they are going to use shang tsung in the new mk game they should use the old man one from MK1 and shaolin monks
@DeathScepter it is canon that Their father was an asian and their mother is an causian American. And their father took the boys to China to the Lin Kuei headquarters. Well Lin Kuei is multi racial and take as many humans with a special abilities as they can. For Example, Cyrax is a black guy underneath his Cybernetic armor.
Shang Tsung in MK1 was the best one ever! He lookd all evil as hell & when I was like first playin it...my lil cuzzns that were younger then me actually got scared of his appearance. LMFAO!
@AxKeeper You are right DBZ began airing in japan in 1989 and ran until 1996 or so. Mortal Kombat came out in around 1993. the episode where buu goes into someones body and blows it up happened in 1995. 2 years after Mortal Kombat came out! so DBZ totally ripped his move!
why the hell did they change shang tsung's looks in Deadly Alliance? he looks more like a gay pirate with the beard, orange gloves, orange vest, red sweater, black boots, and brown pants
@IcecreamFire100 Dude, Shang Tsung looks awesome in Deadly Alliance. In MK1 he looked cool and scary as hell but it was downhill from there. In MK2 he looked laughable, not cool or sorcerer-like at all. Then in MK3 he looked gay, how can you take a man who wears makeup seriously. MKDA finally brought his dignity back. Looks like a pirate? Why? Cause of his beard?!? Its not like hes got an eyepatch. He looks nothing like a pirate.
Actually IceCreamFire100 was telling the truth. Shang Tsung has big black boots (like a pirate) and has a beard (like a pirate) and has a hairstyle like a pirate
he is also the size of a pirate and has a gown like a pirate and gloves like a pirate
he's always so flamboyant.from the eye make up thing,to his stance,to that damn metrosexual facial hair.i kant be afraid of you when you have facial hair like that,no matter how bad ass you kan get
It was a real shame that Shang Tsung had lost his shape-shifting hability cuz it made him really cool. It would also have been great if he had a fire cobra technique, or something like that, based on the MK Deception intro.
By the way, I found really disgusting Shang's fatality in Deadly Alliance. I didn't like at all XDDD
I understand that they kind of wanted Shang Tsung character to be more stand alone so people could realize his awesomeness but they really should give him his ability to shape shift in battle back that's what made me love him in the original he was bad ass by himself but still that was his best ability
Too many cooks came in the kitchen. They lost the thread. The simplicity and directness of each character in the early games was lost. They forgot that a a game/movie/book is not about features but ONLY the features that support the characters.
I dont know why ever one hate the MK2 look of shang tsung he kind of looks young and more evil and he look like he would say im going too take your soul once and for all.but MK3 he looks gay lol
shang tsung is the baddest boss. His my fav boss in mortal kombat history. shang tsung is so cool. so evil. much batter than shao kahn. Shang tsung rules
shang tsung is the baddest boss. His my fav boss in mortal kombat history. shang tsung is so cool. so evil. much batter than shao kahn. Shang tsung rules
Well it's because of a curse. He was destined to die young but then he found a way to stay alive, and that is to absorb souls. By the way, he is old in one other as well, but I can't remember the game, maybe deception?
Actually he is like Mystique- he can only copy the form but not the souls. He can only copy their moves by stealing their life form or absorb them completely.
Shang Tsung no longer able to morph makes the game more balanced. Wish it stays that way. Well the only thing I disliked about his changes are that he can no longer play cheap with his fireball moves... that is in my opinion.
well, as u know, shang Tsung always transformed into ppl. so there really is no nowing of what he looks like originally, thats just the way he chooses to look like
because its harder to make that feature for one character in a 3D game it would take up to much memery and a hard affect without slowing down the game
Shang Tsung just cant win lol
