The only special move Shang Tsung has is the Fireballs. These take off good damage if they hit, and can be sent out three at a time. When you morph into another fighter, you stay morphed for about 15 seconds, at which point you moprh back into Shang Tsung. During the morphing stage you are vulnerable to all hits. His other weapon is his jump kick. It has awesome range and hitting area, as well as being very accurate.
