I just posted and said I think the only way you can kill him is with a long combo...Even if he does do the breaker, just keep doing combos...I can't think of any other way...I came half way to beating him WITHOUT combos so just image what you could do with one of the harder combos!!! lol!!!
Just crank the difficulty down to Novice, if you're having that much trouble. I got annoyed at a couple of those fights and did exactly that, particularly the stupid Scorpion healing and doing triple damage fight later on.
I used Scorpion's style and did lots of sweeps, spears, backflip kicks, sword shots, and tele-kicks, and finally beat him after about 6 tries last night. You only have about 30 seconds to beat him, and that's if he doesn't touch you at all. I also used Scorpion's branch from Hapkido to Moi Fah and just kept pummeling him. Just keep the heat on him and you'll do fine. You don't get anything for it though, which sucks ass. Good luck!
I don't have MKD yet, and I'm a huge Shang fan. So I got a quicl question for you guys, does he look exactly like he did in MKDA? Or is he burnt like Raiden? I must know!
