Shang Tsungs Wakeup Game

[Theme]

Enough said. It sucks. Nothing you can really do except wakeup Soul Drain, which is very ineffective, seeing as a simple crossup nullifies it. Practically useless. Shang Tsung really sucks when it concerns his wakeup. He cannot do anything against crossups when your on the floor... literrally. Im getting constantly blown up by online scrubs.... My retarded habit makes me wakeup each time (Im trying to work on this lol). How do you guys deal with these situations?


I get especially nervous and want to get out when facing a good pressure character like Cage, but otherwise, I just sit and block until I find an opening. I am terrible at this....

First thing i would do after they konck me down and try to pressure me or cross me is laying down on the ground waiting till they're done.

On the other hand day will come when you face true Cyrax and when he destroys you by the corner bomb trap into njp. And that will be the worst thing you could ever face with Tsung. That is an attack you cant stop!

Crossups and pressure is nothing compare to this madness.

i use noob shang and sektor so my wake up game is non exsistant i block and try to poke out

Yeah you can't really do shit against a cross-up. Just have to take it really, or could tech roll and jump. You mostly would eat the jp but you escape the pressure. Except in the corner...

 

[Big Pampering]

well, if you ever played street fighter, that game is even worse when itcomes to wakeup attacks. You just need to block and get out of the pressure

Tech roll

stand up and d3 when their string's done,or jump.

wakeups are semi useless anyway.

doesn't Noob have a pretty solid wake-up game? Up-knee (don't know if you can cross it up) or tele slam if they are mashing out random attacks or even shadow tackle if they are at a distance.

Anyways with Shang you don't have many options. Soul steal/soul drain as you pointed out is beaten by a crossover jump punch. Best thing is to read the opponent and stay grounded or whatever. It's tough though...

noobs wake up game is trash if u upknee on wake up any smart player will stand back an hit u wit a fire ball. clones are extremely punishable , so is teleslam,, and slide can be easily jumped over for full combo

but the wake-up game doesn't necessarily mean wake-up attack. if they stand back then you have a free safe get up that's the whole point of it. Yes these moves are punishable but not by an in your face opponent who doesn't even think of blocking. Noob has enough options to make the opponent think twice before rushing in or whatever. The same cannot be said for Shang...
