Shang Tsung vs. Raiden help

[XxSYNDROISxX]

I main Shang and my biggest threat i run in to is a good Raiden plaver can any one give me some tips against the Thunder God? (And yes i have looked through this thread for match up advice and all i found was match up numbers so plz don't bash me for making a new thread thx)

you have to play very defensively against raiden. you have to play patiently and punish teles with f434 or with an upskull (though the upskull is extremely precise timing). you can bait normal supermans with cgskulls, if you time it correctly. SS always helps.

unless you play online, if that's the case punishing his teleport/supermans is really hard.

Fixed for accuracy.

yeah ive been using SS mostly since with the boost short combos do good damage

Since Tsung's d1 is 6f you can d1 his teleport into SS. That works fine and set them on fire. This mu and vs Smoke is the hardest thing to handle for Sorcerer imo.

What do you think about the Noob matchup? That for me has been harder, but maybe its my inexperience trying to get in on Noob.

In deed if you cant make good reeds he will swallow you fast with shadows and tele grab.
I fought 2-3 Saibots only, but i've learn to bait teleport - that is what you need to do. If Noob is not complete noob then you see many random teleports from him. Problem is he can tele on reaction when you throw a skull. So either you get in (you gotta sacrifice some life bar) and pressure him carefully baiting up knee and continue offense or try to go with ex gs (these have faster startup and chance to get him before he get you with shadow spam again) In general imo zoning war is lost for shang here. Its gotta be mixture of getting in and ex skull as combo starter. SS and Ex SS will help you in trades. Learn basics of Noob and you could apply some good dmg by random shadows. In all and all this MU is not well known to me yet.
