Mortal Kombat: Armageddon/Shang tsung

Shang Tsung has been quite the trouble maker in the 3d era of mk, teaming up to kill liu kang, he gets cockblocked by the zombie version of him in the intro. Shang is low tier but I find him fun to play.

snake:

1

down 1

2

back 2: unsafe launcher, can lead to down back 3

up 2 : unsafe but used a lot by good tsungs

3

back 3

down 3

down 4 : good low

back 4

1,1

1,1,1 : all high, unsafe, free throw or 50/50 on hit though.

back 3:

4

down 4

back 4: his best normal, mid, safe, fantastic, only problem is people good players will parry it if the block the first hit.

back 4 forward 4: good to use after a launcher for a combo in the corner and good if they just expect the back 4 and get cocky.

1,1,2

1,1,3

1,1,4

throw: stomps on your ass, all throws are good in this game.

forward, back, 1: close projectile that catches the opponent midscreen, anti sidestep

back, forward, 1: same as above but far

down back 2:

down back 3: his best move, heals 3, mostly safe, restands, this is what you fish for when playing shang tsung.

down back 4: cheeky

Shang Tsung is for the player smarter than your opponent, if you can play good neutral, you might stand a chance.
