-His damage is not low. standard BnB for Shao Kahn that deals 397.34 damage (4, bf+3 MB, dash, 4 bf+3 MB, dash, 4, db+1)
-The taunt that is a damage boost is called humiliate. Ridicule is the damage reduction. (humiliate buffs damage by 25% for 5 sec, Ridicule reduces damage by 50% for 5 seconds)
-With Humiliate buff on the BnB damage jumps from 397.34 to 496.67. Instead of the BnB though you can combo into the Krushing Blow string. (4, bf+3 MB, dash, F3,4, 1+3) deals 508 damage.
-Skewered only adds a tiny bit more damage from this combo. (4, bf+3, dash, 4, db+1 MB, 4 db+1) deals 403.33.
-His other variation, Risen Emporer, does the exact same combos outside of his annihilation krushing blow. the buff for it, "dark priest", only increases damage of moves that use Shao Kahn's hammer and lasts for 15 seconds, however it instantly goes away if hit by anything. Here's the combo. (4, db+3 KB, bf+3 MB (timing is tight), dash, 4, bf+3 MB, b2, db+1) deals 507.95 damage. (dark priest is safe off of KB throw, speaking of which KB throw only activates off of a reversal punish, the movelist description is wrong)
-Use B2/F3,4/B4 to poke all of them are safe on block and hit mid or low. B3 is best used as a whiff punishing tool. That's why it has such great range and has a decent start up you can even combo off it with bf+3 MB. Use F4 when your opponent gets knocked down for extra pressure. after wards you can do several things. So his neutral games is actually decent.
-Based upon his strings and move lists he is best used mid screen to take advantage of his long range normals. (B3, B4, F2) As well as for punishing players for throwing out unsafe moves with his standing 4 which leads to his high damaging combos.
-You pathetic worms simply don't understand the glory that is the true Kahn of Outworld.
