I never really noticed before, you could be right though, or maybe it's just because that particular character is still in the memory.
but honestly? I dont know

Yeah i noticed that as well, whether the games programmed to do that or what, who knows, but it is pretty cool none the less.

I have heard this talked about before, and have even noticed myself. Way way back in middleschool as a matter of fact. Nobody really knows.

i dont recall such a thing. i remember most the time i could get to Shang Tsung with out having to continue with Liu Kang. but Shang Tsung has always been a problem for me to beat in MK2 when useing Liu Kang. so usually id lose and continue and pick Reptile. just do the acid spit over and over and get double flawless victory. then my memory gets hazy with Kintaro. i think i just worked on him by doing a bunch of jump kicks, some uppercuts, and a projectile here and there. Shao Kahn i believe i usually would beat with Sub-Zero cuz i would freeze him (or am i not remembering right and u cant freeze SK? cuz i dont believe u can freeze Kintaro).

anyways i dont really recall this Shang Tsung deal u speak of...
