Why does Shang have so much swag?

[ETC AdmiralAugustus]

After disgracing the character with my terrible performance at NWM3, I stopped playing him. I was shamed. About a week ago, I picked him up again and have been playing him in casuals.

My question to you is....

Why the eff does he have so much swag? Seriously, every combo looks like he's got diamonds in his grill and a gold-plated pager. How do you contain such swag?!

He doesn't just steal your soul, he steals your swag. That's the style of a billion badass warriors all stuffed into one old man. I mean just listen to his voice!

The old man's so fresh, he turns into you to laugh AT you. The old man's so clean he can become you and do more damage than you'll ever dream of doing. You have better looking clothes than him? He'll just turn into you, you poser.

I'll never look at Shang Tsung the same way again.

I guess summoning Fire skulls would be pretty amazing to impress to ladies, swagtastic yo

Seriously, f3 (stank leg) mid combo gets the ladies pre-heated.
