Do you know where that is mentioned in the games or the canon comics though cuz I've never come across it, the only place I seem to remember Shang Tsung being originally from Earthrealm and then switching to Shao Kahn's side was MK Conquest, the 90's TV series which was non-canon?
States it in his MK 9 bios. I think they also mention it in the konquest mode in MK A at some point(if memory serves) but here, also listed in his official wiki. Seems in the newer timeline, they confirmed he was from Earthrealm. Old they never mention it, they never deconfirm or confirm it in the old timeline but they just never talk about it.
Sure anytime, I’m both lol love the lore as well as playing mk! Yeah I hear ya I’m an old schooler since the 90s(yeah I’m old ) lol ah the 3D era, good memories
Yeah, same lol been one since the 90s. In fact, I used to visit the forums on old MK sites like MKO and UltimateMK back in the day, I never used to post just read the forums and I remember you as well as a few others in the 3D era. There used to be a lot of guys that used to playtest the 3D games and find all the infinites and shit. Guys like Check and other guys I remember on the forums who used to be UMK3 fanatics like Shock, Konqrr and a few other names. One thing I remember on MKO, in particular, was when a guy called Mastermalone had all the gameplay glitches and infinites from MKD and showed Boon and Co during E3 2006 when they were showing off MKA and a lot of those changes got implemented in MKA. That was a big thing the community did that I will never forget, it was awesome. MK has come a long way since those days.
Yeah, same here. At one point I was on literally every MK site but too many to follow, some just died or drama killed them, poor mods etc, etc now I just stick to here now days. Same, MKO was the first(a lot of us started off on there) UMK site was cool, then classicmk I think. There was kamidogu, mku etc, etc Yeah I think everyone knows Check, he's still a king of combos his vids are fun to watch. Yeah, @mastermalone is actually on here he's a cool dude. I feel he was one of the first guys to change my attitude when I first started gaming competitively online and in general with games. He's like the Yoda of the MKC imo, he's very smart. Yeah some of them, Shock, konqrr are still around and MM too among others. @Gerchap recently joined here, maybe you remember him from the 3D era as well?
I remember gathering all the notes and videos from the community and packaging it all up into nice, comprehensive bundles. Thanks to the combined efforts of the community, I was able to deliver a full regression test worth of notes and videos for MKD. When I got to E3, I headed right to the Midway booth where I ran into Steve Beran. I told him what I had for them. He got the attention of Paulo Garcia. I remember the look on Paulo's face when I explained in detail what we all put together for them. He was very surprised and excited.
Yeah, man. I remember when you did this, I was personally so HYPED for MKA after this, but yeah, when a few of the same infinites returned, it really turned me off. I didn't play MKA for real after like the first few weeks. I had so much fun with MKD (but was really salty about all the bugs and what not by the end), that I was SUPER sour on MKA and MKvsDC seeing that all the infinites and whatnot hadn't/couldn't be addressed fully. It wasn't until MK9 that I fell back in love with MK gameplay.
