Shujinko

Yeah I agree with you guys I LOVED the Deception Konquest. The Armageddon one was just ridicilous, it can be summoned up like this - 1 Taven turns up somewhere, 2 says wtfs going on, 3 fight minions, 4 fight sub-boss/leader, 5 continue onto Blaze...=/ the best bit for me was when Onaga, Quan Chi, Shao Khan and Shang Tsung are trying to forge an alliance. Not to mention the what I thought was an awful storyline.

I hate how too many people overlook his potential.

All they think of him is just a guy who steals other peoples moves, so they don't like him

But he is soooo much more than that.

Damn your ignorance internet!
Damn you!
 
I'm not gonna lie to you guys, but if I wanted anyone to take Liu Kang's place, it would be this guy right here, Shujinko.
 
Shujinko himself may seem like a bland character, but his storyline was definately one of the best. The young warrior who sought out to find the Kamidogu to save the realms was probabley one of the best backstories of them all. He meets with so many warriors in different worlds, and learns from all of them to advance his fighting experience. This also proved to be very ironic because Onaga (disguised as Shujinko's guide Damashi) bestowed upon Shujinko to help him obtain the kamidogu, but in the end Shujinko used that very gift, and the ability to negotiate with other warriors to unite them, to overthrow his deciever, which I thought was a very good irony.

As for his attire, very.... bland. I am not really impressed or inspired by the beige robe he has. What I really wish the MK team did was to make his previous ages his alternate costumes (at least one of them). That would've given him a more versatile look. His figthing abilities were sort of alright, but I was really let down with his unlockable special abilities. He borrows the same moves AND voices from other character (major Chameleon ripoff). Sure, I liked the idea of Shujinko learning and utilizing other kombatants fighting methods and styles, but I really think the MK team could've done better with this character.

Shujinko has a good backstory, but as a kombatant he should really be a little less predictable.
 
I want Shujinko to boast the powers of Yin and Yang.

Able to control both light and dark.


For his costume, one almost like his Deception alternate.
But half white and half black, an even mixture.
One sleeved Chinese robe.
Black tattoos on his bare arm.

Bald head, fu man chu facial hair.
One hand glows white, the other black.

Sounds Epic!

do want~! Dowantdowantdowant!!
 
His story is something out of a kung-fu epic!

He goes on a quest that lasts almost his entire life, learning styles and philosophies from the realms strongest champions.

Shujinko = BADASS

Then his life turns out to be a lie. I laugh so hard at him for that. I mean his WHOLE life. Damn he must be annoyed.

I don't like the character. I can't get the hilarity of him wasting his life out of my head and the fact he's another copy cat. I get why you like him but Captain Beardface just isnt for me.

He didnt actually end up wasting his life. He ambition was to be a great fighter and martial artist which he had managed to become and also was the strongest warrior for that matter. ;)
 
He was a cool character, I enjoy his younger version better in Deception Konquest mode. Hard to believe that he never had a cameo in MK9, not even in Radien's flash backs.
 
Actually I would like Shujinko to be in his middle age appearance.

The one we see when he fights Shang Tsung to get the sorcerer's approval to enter the tournament.

I think it would serve as the middle ground for both parties, with him not being old or young. Plus I thought the look was pretty cool personally.
 
No young Shujinko alt costume? Like Shang Tsung? I liked his young through middle age look almost as much as I liked his old age appearance.
Props for your Shujinko concept btw; really cool idea.
