SHANG TSUNG (revision finished)

SHANG TSUNG’S COSTUME & ALTERNATE:
Shang Tsung can wear a skull cap with ponytail hanging out of the back like in MK2. He also can wear a traditional Manchurian Mandarin robe in gold fabric with a black vest over it and loose flowing pants and black shoes. It could be the younger Shang Tsung, and his alternate can be a traditional Manchu Mandarin robe in black fabric with golden vest over it and loose flowing pants and black shoes with both costumes having full circular wrists guards and a black sash with ribbons hanging down in the back like a flag football player. It can look like the picture below.

SHANG TSUNG’S SPECIALTY MOVES:
Morphs - He simply morphs into a different Mortal Kombat character of the original cast in MK 1 and performs and fights in their style with their specialty moves.

Multiple Morphs Combo - Shang Tsung morphs into a series of Mortal Kombat characters/or the whole roster of Mortal Kombat characters at a rapid pace in a green florescent glow while executing a long drawn out combo on his opponent.

Soul Drain - Grabs opponent by neck in close range and raising them in the air. He then cocks back his other hand to drain the life’s energy from his opponent’s body while they struggle to loosen the grip of Shang Tsung‘s grappling hand. This results into a boost in energy for Shang Tsung but a drain in energy for his opponent. Maneuver can be executed in close range or from mid-range by motioning with backside hand in an open palm past his shoulder with forward hand clutched in a fist bent in towards him pulling in opponent’s soul.

Fireball Series – Cocks back his hands to backside hip and shoots a series of one, two or three sequential flaming skulls towards his opponent.

Ground Fireballs - Motions with arms in rising motion, then flaming skulls shoot up from the ground in sequential order launching his opponent backwards in the path of the next flaming skull.

Orbital Fireballs - Motions with arms extended outwards from body perpendicular to camera lens and flaming skulls then shoot from palm of hands in an orbital motion colliding in towards opponent. It can look like the fireballs he threw in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.

Position Switch - Switches position from where Shang Tsung was standing to where opponent was standing in the match while lit up in a green florescent cloud. This can potentially disrupt opponent’s plan of attack or combo set up by throwing off their rhythm or positioning.

Forward Dash - In one quick dash forward in a standing position Shang Tsung dashes forward towards his opponent in a cloud of florescent green allowing him to burst forward in sudden burst of aggression to launch an offensive yet unexpected geared attack towards opponent.

Retreating Dash - In one quick dash backwards in a standing position Shang Tsung dashes backwards from his opponent in a cloud of florescent green allowing him to regroup in a sudden act of defense yet unexpected motion of elusiveness away from opponent.

Internal Conflict - Shang Tsung partially extends his forward arm out and twists/jerks his forearm around to where the inner palm lights up in a florescent green and is facing towards him in a quick motion. This pulls his opponent’s soul out from their body into ground roll forward to eventually turn around quickly and face Shang Tsung’s opponent and fight against them in a series of combos and hits temporarily before disappearing in thin air in a flash of green florescent glow. It can look similar to Kenshi’s spirit move set except the soul jumps out of his opponent’s body in the form of a ground roll and transitions into a standing series of combos.

Soul Disabler – Shang Tsung partially extends both of his hands out and twists/jerks his hands back towards backside hip to where the inner palms on both hands light up in a florescent green and a cloud of florescent green depicting the soul of his opponent is pulled from their body. This results in a boost of energy from Shang Tsung and disables his opponent from using any specialty moves temporarily turning them black and grey momentarily.

Age Definer – Shang Tsung extends his forward arm out diagonally upward towards his opponent with open palm facing towards the sky. As a result a green florescent cloud projects in a rainbow motion from Shang Tsung’s body through his finger tips on to his opponent’s body to incase them in a green florescent flash of light for a second and then disappears. This then temporarily transforms his opponent into a mindless zombie causing opponent to move at an extremely slow pace and also causes Shang Tsung’s physical hits to cause severe damage and have more of an impact against his opponent.

Out of Body Experience – Shang Tsung partially extends his forward arm out and twists/jerks his forearm around to where the inner palm lights up in a florescent green and is facing towards him in a quick motion. This would pull his opponent’s soul out from their body into the palm of his hand in a green stream of mist. He then can proceed to thrust his hand containing his opponent’s soul forcefully to the ground in a punching motion bent down on one knee, or from a standing position, Shang Tsung can punch the inner palm of his hand containing his opponent’s soul and with each physical blow flashes of a green florescent light flare around his opponent. This would in turn cause his opponent to react as if Shang Tsung where physically hitting his opponent in the manner that he’s hitting their inner soul in the palm of his hand. It can function similarly to a voodoo doll with pins stuck into it except Shang Tsung would be punching/slamming it in the palm of his hand.

Soul Crush - From close range, Shang Tsung cocks back with his backside arm into the insides of his opponent's upper extremities with his backside forearm and hand lighting up in a green florescent glow and paralyzing his opponent where they stand. He then yanks back and jerks a holographic soul image of his opponent in his hand past his backside waist in a green florescent gaseous trail and crushes it into a green florescent gaseous vapors within the clinched fist of his backside hand. This causes his opponent to fall down to their knees in a florescent green gaseous outline of themselves while turning black and grey momentarily and gives Shang Tsung a chance to follow up with combos.

Soul Full - From close range and after a series of fluid hand motions by his backside waist, Shang Tsung thrust into a forward jab pose to which his forearm lights up with a florescent green glow within the insides of his opponent's chest and upper extremities redirecting a fluid stream of green florescent souls that incases his opponent's body in a flash of gaseous energy. This causes his opponent to flash in a series of random different Mortal Kombat fighters which overloads their sensory nerves, confuses and disables them to their knees from any motion. It also provides a chance for him to follow up into hand-based combos.

Soul Change - From close to mid-range, Shang Tsung cocks back his forward side arm and flings forward towards his opponent a green gaseous trail in a rainbow motion across the screen. When hit with the gaseous stream, Shang Tsung's opponent morphs into a random MK Character for a temporary period causing his opponent having to fight him in a random MK Character's style and specialty moves that they are not use to and confusing his opponent. This occurs before the spell wears off and opponent morphs back into their regular self.

Legion of Assassins - From mid to long range Shang Tsung makes a meditative motion such as bowing his head as a Shaolin priest to praise Buddha and glows in green only to conjure up the souls of his famed Legion of Assassins in a cloud of green mist. An image of one of the characters appears out of thin air executing a signature move and knocks his opponent backwards in the air as it disappears in a green mists. Consequently from behind, an image of another character appears out of thin air executing their signature move and knocks his opponent back towards Shang Tsung in the air as the image dissolves into a green mist. Consequently, another image of a character appears motioning into a thrusting forward jab while fading into a gust of green mist. And finally, an image of a final characters appears overhead from a drop down sequencing transitioning into a falling flyinig punch on his opponent right before his image disappears in a cloud of green smoke. Altogether the manuever scores Shang Tsung with a series of four sequential strung hit combos before disappearing. It can look like the motioning of Smoke's series of punches except it would be flashes of other Mortal Kombat fighters performing signature moves before disappearing.

SHANG TSUNG’S FATALITY:
Soul Possession - In much like his soul drain specialty move, Shang Tsung extends arm and grapples the neck of his opponent and raises them in the air. He then cocks back other hand, as soul like orbs float and orbit around Shang Tsung’s body. He then strains and cries while pulling the soul of his opponent out of their body. Opponent’s soul eventually flies into the cocked back hand of Shang Tsung causing an illuminated glow to incase Shang Tsung’s body. Shang Tsung then drops the lifeless corpse of his opponent on the floor and strikes his winning pose.

SHANG TSUNG’S WINNING POSE:
Executes a series of formations motions from martial arts fighting style then poses.
