Is it possible?

After looking through two other great ideas from many people...
-[Could Shang Tsung] Have his morph power back?
The only way I could see it happening is if they only allowed one chosen morph at random for the whole fight. Does anyone else have any idea on how something like this could work?
 
It could. I think to save space that when you morph into someone you wont be able to use the full moves list. You would be restricted to a set amount of moves. But then again you would have to learn 2 versions of each character, so that might not work out. Who knows what they will do...

So, 'is it possible'? Yes, in a sense. On current-gen systems it might be. To have Shang Tsung morph into each character with a full moves list for each character I don't think would be possible. However it would be possible on the Xbox 360.
 
It isn't even the moves that make it problematic. It's the system strain involved with spontaneously rendering a new model. Notice there was a lag time in MK:SM whenever Shang Tsung morphed from character to character? If people can deal with a lag time between morphs it is most definitely possible, but impractical, as it would slow normal gameplay to a crawl if the computer got ahold of that kind of ability.

Yeah. I wasn't detailed enough in my post. I thought of that being a problem too. It worked in a 2-d game becuase there wasn't much to load. Yet it still took like 2 seconds which can really make things boring even though it's a short amount of time.

There are many factors to make this not possible. I think it could be possible on the Xbox 360 and PS3. But for now, I doubt it's possible.
 
Yeah same prob why Shang never had it in MK:DA...

... You prepared to wait half an hour to continue a fight?

I know I wouldn't be.
 
My friend on AIM suggested they do it in similar fashion to Shinnok in MK4. He merely mimicked the moves of each character and I would imagine that takes far shorter time to load. I personally hated that, as it took away the magic of it all.
