Shang Tsung Vignette

It appears that Shang Tsung is limited to only morph into whoever he's currently fighting. Instead of morphing into whoever he wants to.
 
Cool vid, although I was hoping to see the soul rip. His gameplay looks very fun, although I'm not too sure I'm very fond of another recycled fatality from MKD (first Mileena got Kira's, now Shang has Liu Kang's? ehhh).

There is a big difference between the two, though, the opponent actually tries to fight back unlike Liu Kang's in Deception.

^ Yea i didn't like that either. I don't know maybe it was hard to program but if they did it in MK1 i don't see how its not possible in this new game now that we have better technology.
 
I called the head coming off in this fatality. Anybody else think that old Shangs gameplay seems slower than young shang?

I'm nowhere near an expert at this stuff, but I think that the reason why they could do it back then is because they were sprites and shared animations; I think changing into over 20 different 3D models, all of which have different sets of animations and internal skeleton mapping, would be too difficult/time-consuming to achieve. Just my theory, though.

This was exactly the discussion that we had a couple months ago, where I suggested that the best solution to the problem is to have Shang Tsung do and "Enhanced" Soul Steal, to morph into the opponent.
 
I like it, but wished they showed more of his moves... This was a character vignette, so we gotta wait for that gameplay video...
