Can we take a moment to appreciate Early Concept Shang Tsung??

[POPTDP]

I found it in-game in the "Kollection"

How SICK does this look?? Looks a lot more like Shang Tsung to me with the hair and the beard.

Don't get me wrong, LOVE Cary Tagawa as Shang Tsung. He easily did the best portrayal of Shang ever (especially the voice, they need to retain him for future entries). But this early concept Shang looks epic.

I wouldn't even have minded if they kept Tagawa's face, but JUST ADD THE LONG HAIR AND GOATEE!!

Thoughts?

I wouldn't mind an emo Shang skin.

 

[GothamInGray]

This has some MK3 vibes. I'm into it.

God I love this kharacter!

Is there an old man Shang concept art?

 

[POPTDP]

Is there an old man Shang concept art?

Yep. All in the Kollection section in the game. They actually have a few concepts for both young and old Shang but this one was my favourite

 

[Vslayer]

Some of the concept art for this game is amazing, it's sad it never made it in the final game. Hopefully some will make it in DLCs.

Looks to me like he fused with Dracula

TFW you try to get Dave Navarro’s likeness for your game but have to settle for Cary Tagawa lol

 

[ItsYaBoi]

Dat subtle classic eye makeup. Perfection.

This would be perfect if you had Cary's face too. Or even slightly tweaked it, his voice is what matters more to me at the end of the day.

All of the concept arts are fucking fantastic. I want to know who saw all of those sick designs and said “that’s the worst one, let’s go with that”.

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

Someone start a petition.

I would vote 10 times to have Cary Shang AND Klassic MCR Shang in the same game.

I need eyeliner wearing wizards in my life

So you think it’s a matter of capability?

Nah bruh, it's a matter of least cleavage possible for Cassie and Jacqui. Because they have to be 100% SF all the time, NO FUN ALLOWED.

Jacqui shows some thigh in one of her outfits. She may as well do porn now.

I'm DISGUSTED! She should have loose pants that cover her ankles and a turtle neck with a ski mask!

 

[chief713]

Looks like Spanish Shang from the 3D games

 

[ItsYaBoi]

I'm DISGUSTED! She should have loose pants that cover her ankles and a turtle neck with a ski mask!

Agreed. Who do these women think they are, daring to show FLESH in my mature rated videogame? Don't they know that they're only allowed to show flesh after being chopped up 8 different times for a singular fatality?

No no no loose pants let people know women have legs gotta get some ankle length skirts goin

 

[caseyMFjones]

My man Shang over here looking like Boy George...

Not even mad about cleavage... but damn give that girl some nice clothes at least.

Aside from the head, im pretty sure this is one of his in-game costumes

 

[LawAbidingCitizen]

That's a pretty cool Shang. I do like CHT's face too much though. Slap on eyeliner on Shang Tsung and we are good to go.

I'm hoping we get a horror pack down the line one with Evil Dark Shang, Dark Nightwolf and maybe Apocalypse Cassie/Jacqui.

Cassie looks good its just there is no real variety with her skins.

Shang though is amazing I'm set but will be using Sindel, Nightwolf, Spawn and Joker when they come out. And Terminator of course.
