Looks like Liu Kang actually only became stronger with time once he got his Titan status back, while Shang Tsung either stagnated or remained the same. Which makes sense. To a selfish schemer like Shang Tsung, once he attained ultimate power, there was no way he would permit even the slightest potential threat to his rule. He would never put himself into a position where he would be at risk of harm to preserve his own existence. He wouldn't have empowered his Geras. He wouldn't have given up his Titan powers, and thus have no real peers to train or spar against. He wouldn't even really fight - not when scheming and backstabbing were his bread-and-butter. To be clear, this doesn't make Shang Tsung weak by any means. In his version of events, he defeated Liu Kang 1v1, that's a hell of a feat. But compared to Liu Kang, who continued to test himself, remained vigilant in Earthrealm's defense, and was humble enough to agknowledge the possibility of failure and defeat, Shang Tsung was simply woefully unprepared.

I'd agree with this assessment. Liu Kang was always interactive, striving to do better for himself and the New Era, personally partaking in training with upcoming champions, and kept his skills sharp. Shang, of course, was content to sit back and influence, and while he had incredible power and certainly far more control over his timeline, he neglected some basic principles.

He is hard to defeat because he has Quan Chi as his Kameo!
Shang Tsung had everything in his lap, everything, and still he was just that petty and spiteful that the mere notion of any reality where he wasn't the winner insulted him enough to try and screw it over - which, natch, wounds up with him screwed over by his own hubris. You know, sometimes the greatest battles you win are the ones you never even fought.
I’m a bit sad about Shang Tsung, because that was the original Shang Tsung that we’ve known for more than 30 years, the end of an era if you think about it, now we are stuck with Liu Kang’s Shang Tsung, which I don’t mind, just bummed that the Shang Tsung that we’ve grown to hate is gone forever

The one from MK9 technically didn’t die, because he’s in that game Shao Kahn killed him and gave his power to Sindel and that was during the MK3 portion of the game, however everyone was brought from MK9 to MK11 during the MK2 part of the game right before Kung Lao defeated Kintaro in the tournament

@@gamerlordthebest I always thought that Shang Tsung was imprisoned in Sindel's body, since his soul was used as a catalyst to resurrect her. Death isn't cruel enough for Shao Kahn's standards I'd assume during the events of MKX, he would've been revived, albeit in such poor health that adding him to that game's story would be pointless.
Shang's defeat in MK1 is so dissapointing. He's literally just a punching bag.

One gripe I have with MK1's story is that Shang Tsung and General Shao both never win a single fight which makes them feel so much less powerful. Also, when Geras figured out someone from the prior timeline survived, my mind went straight to Dark Raiden saying "by the elder gods!" When kronika tampered with the timeline and everyone else stayed but dark Raiden vanished to a different timeline. I was SO DISAPPOINTED when it was revealed to just be shang tsung once again. It could have been so perfect

Yeah, no doubt NRS could have shored up the details a bit. We literally go from the "Kronika" meeting to him as a fully fledged sorcerer. Quan Chi's backstory would have been cool too. Leading to the in game play as Shang, he can transform into old Shang... but, that was just a costume in the beginning right? Confusing.

This is the second time the deadly alliance got there ass kicked by Liu Kang. They barely won the last time too. Always right before Liu Kang delivers a finishing blow somebody hits him with magic from behind.
Kronika took me DAYS on hard mode, MK1 Shang Tsung took two tries. I legitimately didn’t know I was even on the final fight yet because it didn’t feel like a NRS boss. The injustice and Mortal kombat bosses have always been someone you’ve never fought before, or at least a leveled up version, like Corrupted Shinnok, Brainiac, Kronika. This was just like the 5th time we fought Shang Tsung, and it was even easier since you get to pick your fighter. I loved the first two chapters of the story, probably my favorite MK storytelling EVER. But man they kinda fell off during chapter 3 and went off the rails on chapter 4. What a shame. Still a good game tho!
