Why is Fujin so popular.. I'm not up on MK culture like that, what makes people want him so much?
Apparently the ppl that where really into the Era of the 3d MKs really like him, i for one fall short of appreciating its appeal, Besides if he had more of a role in this story i would feel he would be warrented, but a dude that literally only appeared for 3 mins and then never showed up again... I mean if thsi went like the original Timeline it made m ore sense for him to be a big deal since he joins forces with Raiden to fight Shinnok.. But that mantle was passed to Plain Jane Cassie Cage, so his relevance in this current story is painfully underwelming...

I would prefer returming MK characters over cameo characters, with one exception...


Do it. Here's why...

Just think of the pre-fight banter.

Plus, watch the punch at the top. He winds up, but his hand never moves horizontally or diagonally. Your eye can barely even perceive the motion.

He was bad@$$ long before Hollywood brought him to the public eye.

Kombat pack 2 HAS to have Shang Tsung in it. Complete the MK1 cast.

Shang Tsung:



UNIVERSAL: Skull, Up Skull, Ground Skull, Mysterious Magic( a low-hitting slide which can be MB'd to do an overhead juggle, can do this on block), and Soul Steal(Transforms Shang into the opponent, Grants enhanced damage on hit, and enhanced Soul Steal has a point of armor, and transformation lasts longer.)

MASTER OF STYLES: Gains various animal stances, Snake, Crane, Mantis, and Tiger. Each has different benefits such a armor, low profiling, low crush, counters, etc. Like Lei WuLong except Shang Tsung stays in the stance when he blocks. Loses ground Skull, and Up Skull. Soul Steal is transformed into a Command Grab.

SOUL-TAKER: Enhances Soul Steal. Soul Steal grants health on hit(5%), enhanced version stuns opponent for combo, grants more health on hit(10%)and drains opponent's meter. Normal throw grants 3% health on hit. Gains Anti-Air Soul Steal with a Hitbox similar to Raven's or Green Lantern's lift from Injustice.

SOULFIRE: Enhances Skull attacks, doing slightly more damage and hitting for two hits. Gains Hot Escape(Teleport, works like Freddy's from MK9).

Technically, we would be missing bi han, should be not be included

Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow.
I'd like to see Kabal, Sindel, Noob saibot and Nighthawk.

I'd also love to see above all a Cyberwarrior with different variations for Cyrax (nets and grenades), Sektor (missiles and flamethrower) and another kit with steam/smoke and teleports that somehow ressembles Smoke.

If NRS was intending to add a new character from outside MK like Jason or Freddie Krueger I'd choose terminator. And add a skin called "This is not Kano" with the broken red eye and a fake beard.

Sindel looks like she's truly been given attention to her combos in the mods I've seen on YouTube. She felt like an afterthought as the playable version in MK9.

What gets me is Sindel is low tier but somehow kills the entire original MK cast? Even as a big Sindel fan, that was wack to me.

I don't get why people forget that the Sindel that killed 75% of the cast was juiced with Shang Tsung's essence. It's like... Everyone went to pee when that happened.
I went to the bathroom to cry when she murdered my babies Stryker and Jade then her own daughter, but then laughed cause she came strutting into that church like she owned the place....lord give me strength as I slay these peasants :O.

On a serious note, I dunno why people get mad about that. Sindel isn't some weak character, the fact that she was powerful enough to create a ward over Earthrealm that prevented Shao Kahn from entering it at all is enough to say how truly powerful she is, then her power was combined with one of the most powerful sorcerers of Outworld, of course she slayed all of them free.

I say no to Baraka. 3 variations with him are going to be...lackluster. Look at Goro...Goro's more diverse than Baraka. Yeah, that's how damn generic Baraka is. Shang would be cool though.

I'd say it's not in the right order, and maybe Li Mei or Sareena could be on there as well but generally I think it's accurate.
Idk what's so cool about Li Mei. Why does anyone even like her honestly? She's just some random jobber from outworld, just an ordinary girl nothing really special or rememberable about her at all. When I think of females of Mortal Kombat, I completely forget about Li Mei

I can't stress enough how true this is!!!!!!
But I would do different variations:
I would have the same universal attacks you mentioned, but make the soul steal function differently in each variant but also make it a command grab universally ( make it look like his normal grab in mk9)

1. Instead of Master of Styles I would have a variation called SHAPESHIFTER where Shang would finally be morphing into different characters. If the engine of the game doesn't allow him to morph into everyone, just let all his specials turn him into some character for a brief animation to perform the special: like turn into goro to do a grab, into Jacqui or into Kitana to do the projectiles, turn into Scorpion or Raiden to teleport, turn into Liu to do a long multihitting blockstring - each of this will be a move unique to Shang and look different from what said characters actually do in the game. And of course the soul steal in this variant would be crucial, I am thinking maybe It could have levels like Kotal's Sun Choke, so you start with just having universal moveset and after landing a soul steal grab some of you specials upgrade into the morphing specials of other characters. And the Soul steal grab itself extends into a chain throw after you have landed it. you can like lift them up and take part of their soul (mk9 style) on the level 1, on the level 2 after that you turn into Goro or Motaro to do some more grappling, and at level 3 you finish this chain of grabs by turning into Raiden or even Corrupted Shinnok for additional attack. And all specials change at every level. If it is possible you could start as an Old man Shang and become younger with each level)))

2. In the DEVOURER OF SOULS variation all skull and flame zoning attack are replaced with soul attacks. Both His soul steal grab and zoning soul attacks on hit cause some health regeneration (nothing big like 2-3%). But one of his Zoning soul attacks ( maybe even ex version only) and his command grab soul steal also grunt him Souls that fly around him the number of which can go up to 3. But they aren't like Ermac's souls)))) they work more like Quan's bat or even Sinestro's trait is a better example(as it has 3 shots as well) it makes his zoning ridiculous). Also in this variation he teleports turning into green soul-mist, like smoke.

3. I like the name SOULFIRE, so I will go with it, it will revolve around his projectiles. His zoning tools are again fire and skulls but they don't work like viable zoning tools but more like tools for creating set ups (like his skulls can travel slow, come from the sky and from the ground, the ground one can even work like timed explosives) and they now burn opponent for additional damage overtime, his soul steal command grab now works differently - it does more damage and Shang actually lifts the opponent up and burns him instead of stealing a part of his soul. This leaves the opponent scorched - in this state the fire attacks do more damage even on block (ala Tanya's purple dust) more damage overtime, and some of the set up tools like timed explosives in ground skulls or overhead skulls change their properties becoming actual lows, overheads or even unblockables. His teleport would became Freddy like in this variation))

Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow.
Regarding Shang Tsung, he's pretty much been replaced by impostor Shinnok, just like mournful Kitana as Jade. Shinnok doesn't have skulls but the sparks are pretty similar, and his move-stealing special already abosrbs the character's most particular skill.

While it would be nice to see him back, I don't think having a character whose 3 variations are almost clones of currently-working characters would be the best addition, specially since they will probably add no more than 4 characters and there are a lot that would be great to have.

Kabal would be awesome, Sindel could also be a possibility, Noob would also be great but Skorpion already has a clone variation with teleports, Smoke could be unique as well... It's a pity that some characters have been somehow ported as other characters' variations and they might be redundant, I could really see Nightwolf with spirit bow and tomahawk variations, if Kung Jin didn't have a bow... and bojutsu is pretty similar in playstyle...

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
Just give me Fujin and Sektor or if not him a cyber ninja or another ninja in general and I'll be good :)

I will say this though, if Fujin doesn't make it THIS time a second KP and puts in Stryker, Sindel or someone else who shouldn't be a wasted slot I will officially think NRS hates Fujin. lol

I like her personally for her backstory, an innocent bystander who only fought to save her village, she has more motivation than some vets, fun to play, and one of several non-shit characters introduced in the 3D era. And face it, if anyone's affiliated with Outworld in some way they're on automatic jobber status
