Shang Tsung Kombos

Any combo idea from Cyrax EX throw? i 24% with df1 4 df1 4 df1 f4 db3

It just scales a lot right from the beginning. I would say it's only really useful for johnny cage cause he has star power

you can apply other kameos in this situation. Shang can go for old f3 or young f3 or goro grab.

Interesting... maybe striker's granades works better into f4 pressure.

Instead of f4 spikes you can morph after the last up skull into spikes which leaves you closer. You only lose 1%

Also he can make old f3 up skull safe if blocked with goro, he can do a lot with this combo.

Ye I had a video with Stryker/Shang showing concepts for pressure. Stryker grenades let you ignore their wakeup.

Can get this off s1 s2 and s3 as well. I could've squeezed one more skull before the MB but meh.

Holy mechanics! Ok... let's go to practice mode again
Any tip for this insane morph?

Queue everything up before doing the form change.

If you want F43 Old DF1 then just do F43>DF1. Do Form Change right as the 3 comes out. That's how I do all my morphs.
If you dont feel like timing the first 4 then just do a micro backdash after the first DF1 so you can frame kill.
You just want them as high as possible instead of at a specific height like the triple 4 route.
Edit: I feel I can make it 40% if I can get another F43 after the final loop.

Optimalish meterless BNB of F4 with fatal blow?

I dont think that combo is easier to do since it requires peak height. Most of the Shang players who've played in tournaments dont do it because it's too hard. The only thing you have to do for [Y]F43 is frame kill a bit at the start. I do a small backdash...

It also does SLIGHTLY less damage than this one.

Young F43 adds a bit more damage than just raw 4 and can be tossed into any situation where you would use 4 DF1 to convert. With higher gravity, it becomes very easy to do. I'm sure I can crack meterless 40% but I think more people should be looking at form changing mid combo more.

never said it was easier to do and i do it consistently with no issue

Whoops. I deleted some context at the start.

I meant to say not easier than the Form Change route but if you do it consistently can you try doing the FC Route and seeing which is easier? Personally I cant do the triple 4 route consistently. What do you do to get the last 4 consistently?

micro dashing

Ye, that's what I figured.

I'm getting older maybe my execution is leaving me. Is this even possible to convert off of?

Do double fireball instead of triple
