Well, Shang Tsung wouldn't be just gaining a few new moves... He'd be getting a new character model, that character's moves for all three of their fighting styles, their special moves, and their fatalities.

Sure, they could do it but it would mess up the flow of a fight if all of a sudden during a heated match the game just stops while it gets the data it needs.

This is why I think his morphs should be something other than playable characters. It would be cool to see him turn into his demon form or into a non playable character from the past. This way he could just have like 2 or 3 morphs and a couple of extra moves for each one. That would be really cool.

That wouldn't really be Shang Tsung.

In the Budokai 2 game, The game stops in the middle of the action while Super Buu attempts to absorb somebody. And he remains like that for the rest of the match. But Shang Tsung's transformations only last about 20 seconds before he reverts back

It's not that hard really... it only needs the transformation animation, then they can just use the character's templates... PLUS he should get his flaming skull back!!!! I did NOT like that crappy fire, although soul steal was COOL

yeah but the idea of turning into other characters and using their moves is weak. I like the idea of turning into characters that you CAN'T play as any other way. Like his demon form or a character that has died in the past like sheeva or kabal. I think you should stay in that form until you change back, into something else, or the round is over. It would be cool to string morphs in combos, like start of as shang, go into demon and finish with something else. Then his Fatalities could include morphing into something else too... they really should focus on his power more than they are.

YEP!!! agree with you... I also think it's a weak idea... he should turn into beasts, or KINTARO!!!! hahaha
