Shang Tsung Brutality Easter Egg - NINJAS !!!!

[LaidBackBill]

Hi all,
this is probably common knowledge for a lot of you, but however, for anyone that doesn't know.
if after completing a brutality with Shang Tsung, if you don't press anything he will change into whoever you are fighting.
However, if you hold both triggers (PS4 R2 + L2/ XBOX RT +LT) and press a direction on the D-pad, you will get one of the four ninjas he can turn into.
Forward (towards opponent) - Ermac
Backward (away from opponent) - Smoke
Up - Rain
Down - Noob

Peace !

Don't understand why they have him turn into Noob rather than Reptile as the former's actually playable in this game.

Yeah mate completely agree, when I first saw I thought "da fuck!?!" but it's making me wonder if there is one for Reptile that's still yet to be found? Although I doubt it

 

[KingKhrystopher]

Wait, no Reptile? That's odd.

 

[trufenix]

yikes, first commentary is a complaint about who he DOESN'T turn in to. Effort well spent.

 

[Tanno]

Damn, those are from MK3 era. bruhhhhh

BTW, I think this might be similar to Sub's Brutality adding different ice statues. I think I remember that there are two more inputs to add in Sub's (about the bear and the snowman), so try adding the same inputs to Shang's.

You have a rather odd perception of what complaining is.

I just thought it would have made more sense if he had turned into Reptile since he's not playable like the rest of the ninjas he turns into during his brutality pose.

 

[Swindle]

He turns into classic Reptile in one of his end of round taunts, and does the classic MK3 win pose.

lol am I the only one who thinks it's weird to hear Shang's voice laughing while he's Noob, Ermac, Rain and Smoke? lol cool secret though. Reminds me of triborg's brutality where you held different directions to do a different cyborg brutal in MK X.

 

[ticklebandit!]

How I miss my ninja Ermac

 

[Syzoth]

They've loaded this game with Reptile references and Easter eggs. I refuse to believe there's not a way to turn into Reptile.

I'm playing Shang Tsung for the Reptile slide in the first place!

 

[TrashMKX]

Yawn the ninjas.

You must be a real joy to be around IRL.

 

[ATIWAB]

fyi there's more of them..

That just looks like he was playing a Scorpion. It's not a Klassic outfit, no reason to think that's a triggered morph.

Dude on the ground has on the same shoes.

 

[ATIWAB]

I will post the command(s) shortly sir

I mean, if there are others feel free, but the screenshot you posted is just him morphing into the guy he just beat, which is what happens when you input nothing.

 

[DDustiNN]

How do you get him to stay as Shang? I had it happen multiple times in towers, but I can’t seem to figure out why, or do it on purpose. Like it made the transformation sound effect, but he just stayed as himself. Quite a few times. Glitch perhaps?

 

[DamianD]

He stays as himself in tag battles and when there is a character assist.

I see.

I also noticed in tag battles, soul steal wouldn’t work. It would just do the damage, but not transform me. That was annoying.

Aww, thanks! That's the nicest thing you've said so far!

 

[Inzzane_79]

Didn´t know that, thx for posting!

Definitely MK2 outfits with MK3ish masks.
