I think they should bring back the Tsung from MK1. Story could be that since he lost control of the souls from the soulnado after narrowly escaping Raiden's blast he as aged alot.

He should be a secret unplayable character in MK7. Kinda like Reptile from MK1, etc.

He can morph back and forth at will. Like if you jump at him he morphs into Raiden and teleports morphs back and throws 5 fireballs, etc.

I fought Tsung last night on MK Rev 5.0 on MAME put it on the hardest setting and got my ass handed to me. I could not defeat Shang Tsung. If you open yourself up he juggles you with Cage/Kang. If you throw a projectile he'll slide into you with Subby. If he's at half life he'll abuse you with Goro. This guy's cheaper than Shin Akuma in Super Turbo.

no wonder everyone wanted to play as him in MK2. If they gave him Morph at will in MK2 he would be banned in tournaments. Think about the combo possibilities by morphing back and forth at will. I. E. Press Up, Up to morph into Scorpion. If you wanna morph back into Tsung you gotta press up, up again otherwise you will stay as Scorpion until round ends.
Example. Morph back to Tsung from Kitana would be Block 3 times. Note: You cannot morph from Scorpion into another character. You always gotta morph back into Tsung. Still that mechanic would be game breaking.

Yup, bring him back in his MKDA form and older self. That would be good. Also loose the 1-3 fireballs, the ones he had in MKDA were perfect. Sideways skullblatsts ruled.

Well agreed! Bring back the Shang from MK1! I was a bit disappointed in Konquest mode for MKD since there was no attention to detail for some characters. When you meet Shang Tsung for the MK1 tournament with Shujinko, he looks like he does from MKDA! And when you meet Scorpion in the Nether Realm, he looks like the champion of the Elder Gods!

If they brought Shang back with is morphing ability, he would still retain his styles of combat, but open up bold new oportunities with Kombat specials like Sub-Zero's freeze. And He should have his Flaming Skull back! In MKDA I was looking forward to seeing it but got nothing but a fireball! Let me calm down.

I'm going to e-mail Midway, and hopfully see if my opinion amounts to anything, but it probably doesn't.

Actually the skull is there in MKDA, but almost unnoticably hidden in the flames.

Shang Tsung rocks. He has one of the best storylines of the game. I would definitely love to see him in his Mk1 look again, like the render seen in Shaolin Monks. Tsung has a lot of potential.
