It is so satisfying to see Shang Tsung being the top dog than the lapdog, begging for mercy of Shao Khan like he was in past games. Seeing him taking the souls of Sindel and Shao Khan is the greatest moment in the history of MK. Being voiced and using the face of Cary Tagawa makes it the most satisfying.

@@MericErdemBal The only thing I can think of is that whole 'chosen one' destiny background coming into play. If he was shaped by Kronika with the strength and skill specifically to win most tournaments in the series without being killed (as happens in the normal timeline up until, like... 9?) Then he's supremely skilled, and has a lot of power. The only reason he dies to Raiden is because he's a mortal fighting against a god, and even then Raiden has trouble. At the point when he fights Shang Tsung at the end, he's got a gods power, plus his own power, and Onaga's fire. And I can only imagine his own power is doubled, because his revenant, in his timeline, absorbed his own soul... so... I guess all of his effects are essentially times two.

Pay more attention to the details. He tells Fujin how the events will turn out and to play along with it. Notice how he keeps using the Hourglass for quite awhile after Tsung explained why he should stop. Liu was double-checking Tsung's claims, and then asked Fujin to ensure Tsung's success. Hence the lie about Liu Kang having to stay behind and his smirk at Tsung's "You let me win."
