Shang input "bug". Dont know if its a bug but I dont think it should work like this.
Even FoxyGrampa is suffering from this. You see him do F4 [The knee] and then form change with nothing after. h

Doing a form change in-between things eats inputs.
- Doing Form Change+Special eats the Down input. Doing DB1 and form changing on the Down eats the down input so you have to input the special again. A work around to this is doing Down>DownBack>Back. The form change will eat the first down the but the downback back will still count as the special. This isnt so much of an issue with DB but it becomes really noticeable when doing his Form Change+DBF.
- This happens with all his strings but F4121 is the most prominent example. If you're already in old and do the F412 as fast as possible it comes out as to be expected but if you start in Young and do the form swap at the same time you press 1 and then 2 immediately after before you go into Old form it just gives you the the F4+Form change.
No other string works like this in MK1 afaik. You can dial up strings as fast as you want with no issues and in some cases its required to press buttons in rapid succession like Baraka's 444444 string.
Another issue that is harder to show is inputs not reading as well the longer the combo is. An example is the Raiden/Jax loop into Fatal Blow. Doing EX DF2 into FB raw is very easy to confirm but doing it late in a combo is much harder for some reason. It feels as if the inputs are not being read until later. If you want to test it for yourself test these 2 combos together.
