the release of Ferra got me back on shang tsung, and this is the most fun i’ve had with shang! especially since seeing this video and learning that spikes conversion.. holy hell! (shang still needs buffs tho)
i saw the bed of spikes ferra conversion elsewhere last week and my jaw hit the fucking floor when I saw it. I do like that the game classifies "airborne" as whenever your characters feet leave the floor. Its not bound to moves or the jump button
the patch also altered the state of some specials to be considered airborne! for example, havik’s torso spin is now considered airborne so you can convert ferra’s up+kameo 2 launcher!
Yep...lots of these types of conversions I'm just finding out I'm not the only shang that does this now....was just saying it's nowhere on TH-cam but yep...here it is lol....wonder if the other techs out yet...
When reiko throws stars immediately do fire balls 2 or 3 as soon as they pass behind you when you duck them you’ll get a reversal or do a cameo attack like tossing ferra under you it goes full screen
i don’t think bed of spikes is always necessary. using the full kameo bar for a block string isn’t ideal. you can also stagger your f4121 string into terra mix/throw for equally good pressure with half the cost. then you can do a regular ferra and an air ferra for one bar in a sequence, where the airborne ferra will take two bars if you do it with full meter (until that’s patched out)
ohhh thanks for the tips, I dont do the f4121 string into ferra because it can be interrupted, but I risked it on the reiko match because I havent done it before that so it made a good mix. But thanks for the tips, I do agree that the full bar is not ideal just for them to block
Amazing vid bro u got me trying to pick up shang cos i love playing interesting characters like him rain and quan. Labbing him rn and i just cant seem to connect the ground skull after the morph and kick. Any pointers or tips on how u do it?
the reiko was good because with reiko all you need is game control and the zoning of the guy was actually a way to control your game play,you just needed to adjust
His overhead in young form, zoning and combo’s are pretty strong, if you just switch between both forms when necessary he’s real strong. And if you are getting clapped by meta characters, just shapeshift.
The mix itself is something that shang really needed to push him even further on the tier list. Altho I think the health boost will get nerfed eventually😂
Your constant morphing between old and young is amazing to watch. Ferra is such an awesome kameo!
Thats why shang is the best character, his ability to take other opponents moves and make them his own :)

Shang it so fun with ferra cause it allows him to be semi brain dead lmao, but he does need buffs 1000%
That Reiko was Painful to watch, that clutch was Goated in the end, W video
Thanks ARRYN! Reiko was very annoying to play against
Great content Donut keep it up!
I’m glad you beat that reiko punk. I’ve encountered a lot of them star throwers.
Ending was dope you got him good and he quit like a big B 😂im trying to get better with shang ttsung thanks for the tips

@@kmartpunk95 What!? 🤣🤣🤣 How is that airborne?? None of my business *plays Havik*
@@kennyb3509 lmao right? it’s weird.. i guess that’s the NRS’s way of compensating Havik’s bad synergy with Ferra.

Best Shang Tsung main is back, w video! 😎
ooooo might have to try this shang/ferra sauce for myself 👀 keep cooking donut
They are definitely the best duo
When you morphed into Johnny on "finish him" in that first match I was wondering if you could do the animaltity 😂 that'll be funny.

Heard that! I will definitely be trying that out!

True character specialist
Man you’re motivating me to play shang
Shang is soooo funn, its a must try
@@PassMeADonut is sareena good with shang?
Ferra is soooo fun
Ferra is amazingly fun
Amazing vid bro u got me trying to pick up shang cos i love playing interesting characters like him rain and quan.
Labbing him rn and i just cant seem to connect the ground skull after the morph and kick. Any pointers or tips on how u do it?
good thing for you, I main shang quan and rain, What do you mean "ground skull adter the morph and kick"
@PassMeADonut sorry I meant how do you connect the "dissection" string (old form) into the bed of spikes (young form)
the reiko was good because with reiko all you need is game control and the zoning of the guy was actually a way to control your game play,you just needed to adjust
Yeah he was good, but the way he was playing was making my brain overload 😭. He adjusted to me more than i was able to adjust to him
Minha motivacao no yt Mano❤❤❤❤❤
"I hate top tier characters cuz Shang Tsung is a**"
Nah! He's good and you know it! 😅
Hes good in the right hands 😏
His overhead in young form, zoning and combo’s are pretty strong, if you just switch between both forms when necessary he’s real strong.
And if you are getting clapped by meta characters, just shapeshift.
The mix itself is something that shang really needed to push him even further on the tier list. Altho I think the health boost will get nerfed eventually😂
I agree chapo, but shang tsung is still low tier 😢
We need. Oar shang main yiutubers!!!! Subscribed
I am here to main shang for you guys😏
Still on vacation and i dont even have a laptop. Cool vid
Thanks man appreciate the support even when away from the laptop🙏🙏🙏
@@PassMeADonut I will get back to the laptop from Friday untill the 16th of August, then I will be back on my main setup! Anyhow, going to sleep!
You help improving my Shang thank you, could we play together ?
Need a vid with some Frame data on shang
Not a bad Idea
I dropped MK after ferra released. So broken game. But it was funny to play those 400 hours
You have to hop back on the grind 🫡🫡🫡
@@PassMeADonut idk, it's not funny to play against smb like Geras with combo, which ends with safe armored mix-up 60% combo launcher...
How did u get that skin
Invasions, get it before the season ends!!
How is Reiko a better zoner than Shang ?
I am not sure
I think his fireballs do more damage
Reiko got you heated 😭 but i get it i hate him too
I dont hate reiko, i hate the people who play reiko like that😭
i got rolled in the 1v1
i spent HOURS looking for tech with this team and i didn’t even think about bed of spikes💀
No its not
Yes it is
Can you do the f4 chip string df2 into ferra overhead and still be safe?
