'ello baby, did you miss me?
Wonder what Shang's gear will be. He's not wearing an amulet in the trailer, which would have been my first guess for gear for him. Maybe they have the "no amulet" amulet equipped?

Someone pointed out that he seems to have a sword sheath, just like MK1. So that's for sure gotta be one of them.

Shao kahn is in the story and he’s pre order DLC
I didn't mean that "DLC = no story," but let's say they only started work on him tomorrow, or six months from now. Then it would be a bit too late to include him right? That's what I was worried about. But he's obviously had a lot of work put into him already so I'm optimistic.

That looks so sick man. All I wanted was movie Shang or old man Shang. They gave me both and I couldn’t be happier. He will have his movie skin as well I have no doubt. Being the narrator in the krypt is my favorite announcement so far lmao. Followed by Kahn preorder dlc. The preorder and the dlc has me most hype lmao. Yeah it’s weird but it sucks to see people think they are getting screwed by it.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Cary got his share of the characters profits. Maybe they just need more time to get him right. I don’t care what the reason is, I love it. Couldn’t be happier with an announcement/reveal/event.

great a spam character
Your AV is Erron Black lmao, 90% of the Gunslinger playerbase were people mashing out as many projectiles as possible.

But guess what? You could play him in a more offensive and close ranged way right? Due to the variations right? Those are back, expect Shang to have more than projectiles in his new kit.

Also expect that character in your AV to have some whacky and highly spammable projectiles in his kit.

I just hope he has an outfit where he’s old and has the white eyes, made him look especially ancient.

I didnt play scrub slinger kiddo. maybe youre thinking of @HeroesNZ


Erron wont even be good and i’ll def be the best erron so trust me when i say things
 
I wished Shangs face was less friendly and older and more scary, that he really needs souls soon to become stronger and younger again. Like some starving nosferatu.
Yeah, I feel the same. He was so scary and creepy in the original Mortal Kombat. You could tell he's seen and done some shit.

I actually really like the change. I feel it goes really well with the fact that Shang is a master deceiver, he would totally try to make himself seem as frail and helpless as possible to trick people. Matter of fact isn't that how he tricked Kenshi?

You missed the entire point there.

The variation system means even characters with zoning centric designs can be made to not be zoners.

2/3 Erron variations in MKX were designed around zoning but you could totally play him on the other side of the spectrum if you chose to do so.

Worrying about Shang being “spammy” seems hypocritical when the guy in your avatar proves that having good projectiles doesn’t mean you’re going to be a hard zoner in a game where you have playstyle options.
