I remember the MK Team saying that for an alternative to his Morphing, that when engaged in kombat with another fighter, he'd be able to make them age throughtout the round?

I distinclty remember them saying this awhile back, but haven't seen or heard anything from it since.

Your thoughts, Opinions?

That's news to me. I don't remember them saying that but it sounds pretty damn cool. Though old droopy Wonder Woman doesn't exactly strike me as pleasing visuals.

I remember that as well. I really hope they're still planning to go through with that. Judging from his Soul Steal Fatality though.. I'm wondering if the idea hasn't been axed. I really hope not.

I vividly remember this as well and was extremely excited about it.

Characters were supposed to look old, get wrinkles and age during gameplay every time Shang Tsung did his soul steal move, and they even go as far as saying you COULD see the gray hair and wrinkles of the aged characters.

But, after seeing his Fatality...I'm not sure.

I really really hope they didn't throw this idea away, because it was brilliant.

Good thread man. I'm sure most people have forgotten about this.

This is the first I have heard of that idea, and it sounds brilliant. I would love to see this included if not in this game, the next canon MK game.

I remember this, as well, but judging by that weak fatality revealed today, I have to assume that feature was removed or never came to fruition.

Lex has no hair, how can you see them becoming gray? lol.

Jokes apart, I really hope this feature has been implemented in the game.

I heard about it but so far I haven't seen anything to prove it actually made it into the game.

The idea probably went the way of the dodo such as torn clothing did in MKDA

I don't remember that. I doubt thats gonna happen cuz it's sound a little stupid but it is kinda of cool. It also doesn't make any sense. Shang Stung doesn't make people older.

"Fans of the MK standby will be happy to know his soul-sucking move is back and looks better than ever. When you pull off the combo now, a green trail of spirit will be yanked from the opponent and given to Shang. The move replenishes some of Tsung's health, but it also makes the opponent start getting gray and wrinkly. Keep repeating it, and you'll feel like you're fighting in a nursing home."

Midway didn't say it, it was IGN so it might be false... I just hope that they can grow older through that move.
