I believe that people need to know im not taking anymore MK character requests as im doing the finale for the series and will be covering the overall story and not character by themselves. The characters you like may be involved in the game but i will not being going into description of their abilities.
Mortal Kombat Conquest [90s tv series] said Tsang Tsung got his powers from an old master who taught him to gain power by harnessing the chi from his enemies but than later became obsessed with capturing the souls, and this is why he was banished to out-world. I would love to see Tsang Tsung make some kind of pack or be forced to fight for Earth Realm against Out-World among other realms.
I'm sure they could do that now, he'd just be too OP. In MK9 cpu Shang can morph. I'm not sure if the game randomly selects just a few fighters for him to morph into (like MKT on PS1), but I'm sure they could do it perfectly on the MKX engine. But then why would anyone pick any other character? Why choose between Scorpion and Sub-Zero if you can just pick Shang Tsung and morph to counter pick your opponent? He'd be so broken and immediately banned from tournaments. Though it begs the question, what variation would he use? Maybe that's how they'd balance it-- he can morph into anyone but only their variation-less base form. But I agree, I've been saying the same thing since Deadly Alliance. I also hope (even though we won't) that one day we get Motaro and Moloch as bosses again, with the new fighting engine.

We need Shang Tsung back so badly, cause he was my favorite villain as well as my dad's and he was just the best character to have since he could steal a portion of someone's soul and become them and fight as the same person while switching back and fourth from his opponents ability to his which was so freaking amazing
Personally I would like to have him back. Shang Tsung has always been one of my favorite MK characters, and the story always benefits from having his involvement. "Save your pitty for the weak" - Shang Tsung.
Liam Harris Prop not cause Shinnok came back and i saw him as a very big threath cause they gave him but his special moves were: 1. 5 min screentime 2. Getting beaten by Johnny Gage WTF?! 3. Having very weak amulet. 4. Losing to Cassie Gage when he was at his strongest form, strong enough to kill an elder god. These next gen characters are able to beat stronger characters due to via bullshit and plot armor
nice video I appreciate your work a lot, its great and is a real inspiration to other ameture you tubers who want to rise to the top like you. Thanks as always for the interesting facts.
You make really good videos with great details and your usually spot on in my opinion the only thing I noticed you being wrong on was the whole Quan Chi Deception ordeal. In MK deception when Raiden sacrificed himself in a last attempt to save earth realm on Deadly Alliance, yes indeed it killed Tsung releasing the souls; however it did'not kill Quan Chi. If you watch closely and I mean pretty much just don't take your eyes off of Quan Chi then you will clearly see that he uses the amulet to escape. Now how The Dragon King end up obtaining it is a bit weary, its Clear Quan Chi escaped and probably went back to the Neatherealm or into temporary hiding. Either way You should do one last video on Bo Rai Cho that would give me and a lot of hardcore mk fan some mad respect for ya ha. Also go back and watch the Deception intro and you shall see what i am talking about.
11:52 "He does make a small cameo in Mortal Kombat 11 in the like of arcade ending tower for Ermac which kind of implies that he might come back in Mortal Kombat 11" LMAO say what? 😂
I wouldn't mind if Shang Tsung came back in MK11, I mean, Shang Tsung is an iconic character in the series. It's just how he comes back. It would be very interesting seeing the reactions from the other characters.
ON a side note, Bo Rai Cho teaches Bi Han to heal as Kung Lao did Kung Lao figured it out while Bihan was still struggling with his past/present if Bi Han CAN heal with Bo's help . . Bi Han will be able to retain his Sub-Zero self YET still have his shadow skills, style one is Noob/2 is Sub-Zero/3 is Balance: Bi Han with portions of Sub/Noob to be ONE with and his MK9 alternate Zero costume can be his Bi Han look like Kuai Liang and Hanzo Hasashi
Yes it would like him to come back. I beleive there was a mistake on your take though ... pre-mk in the original timeline, QC had obtained the map of the temples of the elements by striking a deal with Shang Tsung, basically getting the map in exchange for the spells necessary to resurrect Syndel in earthrealm as a back up plan in case something happened in the 10th tournament, this way he had to contengency plans in case something hapened ... Aside from that thanks for all the character coverage and looking forward for the MK finales of the original timeline events. .. Also curious about what the next FG series would be, hopefully Tekken or KOF since those have richer history than SF ... Happy holidays
I don't remember which ending this was, but Bo Rai Cho seeks a champion to take down the new self-imposed god Leu Kang. Bo Rai Cho finds the weakened Shang Tsung and decided to train HIM as earths new hero. I really hope the next MK continues with this role-reversal story.
Ashley Colombani I agree but I’ve heard he will be given a possible redemption story but to me that can only be if it ends with his death given his need to take souls to sustain his youth and life
It’s funny how when we play MK games we think the Sub-Boss is so cheap that no character can top their cheapness but then you win after the 60th try and move on to the boss and you are proven wrong
in Mortal Kombat the novel by Jeff Rovin it says Shang Tsung started off as a tax collector with a wife taking care of two orphans from his family..shang tsung then faked his own death and vanished after his wife sold off his potions one day lol
Shang Tsung, the strongest character to lose every fight that mattered.
RTA138 lol every mk villain
Lol
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. For such a powerful guy, he loses a lot of fights lol.
@Agt.BADASS
I dont think Quan Chi has that ability
Thats the problem with villains in fighting games. They almost always lose.
Mortal Kombat story: Everyone gets their asses handed to them by Liu Kang
But all his deaths was because of something stupid and easily preventable
Yaxion well Liu Kang is the shit
He got beat by raidude
@@kaizermengele6669 yh Liu kang sucks he has shitty combos and fatalities and x rays were shit aswell
Fearless loner
Kinda because he didn’t listen to Raiden.
At last, Shang Tsung's story. One of my favorite bad guys in the history of Mortal Kombat

i like to think its british but it just sounds really weird XD
History behind the warrior ye XD
I'm glad you took my suggestion! :D
+ICKMAN7 Sorry that sounded like I was a dick.
cant cout the nightmares I had of Shang Tsung "saying your soul is mine" growing up,lol too many, he was a great villan
He was scary to me because he can get you
1. in the 1995 movie or 2021
2. mk 11

I love using Shang Tsung, so much so i would practice his snake style on everyone around me, thank you for the upload!!
I still dream that some day we will have the technology for a Shang Tsung that can seamlessly morph into everyone again.

Everybody have fun tonight... Everybody Shang Tsung tonight.
lol
You are a FUCKING genius
All around the world, Shang Tsung.
that doesnt make any sense at all have fun and shang tsung dont even ryhme or sound the same
fucking needs to come back. the og super boss,
Liam Harris Prop not cause Shinnok came back and i saw him as a very big threath cause they gave him but his special moves were:
1. 5 min screentime
2. Getting beaten by Johnny Gage WTF?!
3. Having very weak amulet.
4. Losing to Cassie Gage when he was at his strongest form, strong enough to kill an elder god.
These next gen characters are able to beat stronger characters due to via bullshit and plot armor
Liam Harris he came back from death in ermac ending
Bring back shang tsung in mkxl...please!!!
Nope
He will be in mk11 I had a vision
gucci ice kid well he’s in mk11
I am glad you had backstory from the Mortal Kombat Conquest show on here :)
he needs to come back
shang tsung for mk11!
Your dream has come true
IT HAS BEGUN!
Lucky you! Hes coming to mk 11!
And he's got Ermac, Reptile, Rain, Smoke as his moveset, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Noob Saibot for his fatal blow and Kintaro as his fatality move
I want to see history of street fighter characters , freaking love this channel btw.
Your channel is awesome.
I want Shang Tsung to comeback in MK11
Ya
Noob and Smoke(non-cyborg) should come.
Yes, but that would make the heroes wanting to kill him because of the bull crap he cause in the original timeline
You wish for it, you got it
he does
I HOPE THAT SHANG TSUNG WILL APPERE IN THE NEXT GAME
Im gonna binge watch all of these
yeah it would be awesome to bring back shang tsung to the Game
Deadly Alliance will now probably be Liu Kang and Shang Stung
Boy were you wrong
GenericWhiteMale 😂
you said he appears in Ermacs ending in Mortal Kombat 11...we need that game to come out first before you start. did you mean MKX?
Right
BlazingAlex well he’s coming to mk11 lol
Yeah
@@thatkidandrew7818 sadly no
That's why he comes out old and young
No one:
Not a single soul:
Shang tsung: and thays why "not a single soul" was empty....
nice video I appreciate your work a lot, its great and is a real inspiration to other ameture you tubers who want to rise to the top like you. Thanks as always for the interesting facts.
Shang tsung got revealed for mk 11.He has the souls and powers of rain,ermac,smoke and many others!
Sophia Pavlidou yea it’s lit
For Shang tsung to be black with a durag tho😂😂😂

Not a Shang Tsung fan but this is definitely one of my favourite History MK bios. He's pretty much a main villain of Liu Kang. Like Batman and Joker.
I can watch this kind of shit all day everyday
If He Dies, He Dies....
-Me. 💪😎
Lol
I wouldn't mind if Shang Tsung came back in MK11, I mean, Shang Tsung is an iconic character in the series. It's just how he comes back. It would be very interesting seeing the reactions from the other characters.
Yes I would like to battle him again
Would like to see him back, interesting fights with that guy from time to time
He definitely need to come back.
Can't wait for you to cover the stories

I never Knew that Shang Tsung was from Earthrealm.
So Shang Tsun and Ermac both asorb souls? Because when you beat tower mode with Ermac, Shang Tsun comes out of him as a soul.
Yes it would like him to come back. I beleive there was a mistake on your take though ...

nice video
Can you do a history of Onaga
Man, shang tsung is the coolest sorcerer ever
Yes bring him back he is in my top 10
You know shang tsung revives in MKx by stealing the souls of ermac and making him weak...
Error macro.
May not be canon
CHAIN THUNDERBOLT shang tsung has shao khan meileena souls
It is canon as ermac is dead in the krypt and shang tsung is revealed as dlc
@@sophiapavlidou7963 krypt isn't canon and ed boon confirmed he's immortal
Long live Shang tsing may netherelm bring him back
Ashley Colombani I agree but I’ve heard he will be given a possible redemption story but to me that can only be if it ends with his death given his need to take souls to sustain his youth and life
Awesome video
I'd love for Shang Tsung to return and become a massive threat. I'd prefer if he was a wildcard instead of being allied to one specific side.
Ya boi back in MK11
Shang Tsung is coming back next MK i can feel it.
i cant wait it feels like its going to be fun
I hope Shang Tsung comes back in mk11 as an ally
he makes a small cameo in mortal kombat 11 which leads me to believe he may be in mortal kombat 11
- HBTW 2015
where's the cameo? Cassie's ending?
Erron Black, Raiden and Ermac. hes mentioned in Cassie's
Shang Tsung from mortal kombat konquest: DAMN YOU!
Does anyone know what that awesome background music was toward the end of the video?
Yeah I wanna see Shang Tsugn in the next game
Great idea to cover the overall storylines next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope shao kaun and shan tsung come back because shao kaun is my faveorite evil guy
david walz your soul is mine!!
Great video, mate
he needs to come back.
Definitely want Shang Tsung to make a return in the next game. I feel like it's just not MK without the ol' sorcerer around.
It’s funny how when we play MK games we think the Sub-Boss is so cheap that no character can top their cheapness but then you win after the 60th try and move on to the boss and you are proven wrong
he's my favorite Mortal Kombat character
You should do the history of predator or Jason next. Also, you should do erron black.
The background music is called:
We are rebelion - damned anthem
Thanks again dude. :)
I would love Shang Tsung to come back
i would love to see him in mortal kombat 11 hes a great character
Great video
I did enjoy this.
I would like you to do videos on Onaga, Sareena, Stryker, Skarlet, Reiko, and Havik
I hope that he’s in MK 11 and he can change to every character like he did on MK 3
I think you should do history for tekken characters next
+Sekiz Ahmad i plan on it :D
+History behind the warrior do it
Mortal Kombat 1, 2, Trilogy, and 9 in a nutshell
*'But they still couldn't beat Liu Kang'*
If you do a mirror match in mkx with reptile, his mirror will say he is shang tsung
Can’t wait to play as him in mk 11
Yes he should come back he is in most of the endings for mortal Kombat 11
I AM THE BEST SHANG TSUNG MAIN THAT HAS EVER EXISTEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
your accent is amazing
sure I agreed Shang Tsung will come back
I think that netherealm will make a Feb it to all games bringing back Shang tsung for deadly alliance / Mortal Kombat 11
11:47 - wait, what? Quan Chi and Ermac walking through the forest? When did that happen in MKX?
boooooo no Shang Tsung iconic "your soul is mine" in the description.
:p
+undead4500 ... good call yknow what since you said that ill do it now :)
+History behind the warrior can u do history of sheeva
+History behind the warrior dude could u please do stryker
+History Behind The Warrior omg you did! lol
History behind the Warrior, can you do onaga next?
I want shang to come back with his deadly alliance card art
Jesus these bgms in these videos are excellent. Can anyone tell me the name
PLEASE! Do one on SHEEVA
If you make Reptile fight himself in MKX the other Reptile reveals himself to be Shang Tsung.
"It is I! Shang Tsung!" "Show yourself, coward!"
Shang Tsung kills Ermac in Ermac's ending in Mortal Kombat X.
bring back Shang Tsung & Onaga for MK11
should have put when shang tsung gets trained by bo rai cho and defeats fire god liu kang in mk 9
in Mortal Kombat the novel by Jeff Rovin it says Shang Tsung started off as a tax collector with a wife taking care of two orphans from his family..shang tsung then faked his own death and vanished after his wife sold off his potions one day lol
You should do Soul Calibur character histories.
Just a suggestion
Thx man
Are you going to do the history of Tanya?
he makes a cameo in mk 11 i had no idea that 11 alrady came out
