Next Gen has more than enough power to make this happen n I think they should even take it a step further n allow us to morph whenever we want n not just when we turn back into shang tsung. Thoughts
shang tsungs morphing needs to return on next gen

as a player that mains shang tsung, I actually disagree with this. yes, I would love it cause the concept is awesome, but in practice it would be terrible. whats to stop everyone from choosing shang tsung and just morphing into their real favourite character all the time? whats to stop everyone from choosing shang tsung, then after seeing they cant beat the other player while morphed into kung lao, decide to morph into noob instead and spam shadows? or 1 of 20 other different fighters they've mastered?
the current system is fine. not only do u get to turn into the opponent and beat them with their OWN player but u get a damage boost too. the current system is very balanced and should remain this way. it also lets people that choose shang tsung HAVE TO BE GOOD WITH SHANG TSUNG.
absolute worst case, if they had to implement this somehow, I would say they should make it like the shang tsung boss in the ladder mode, which means choosing a maximum of only THREE other fighters and only being able to morph into them. but even this is still overkill. current system is perfect.

You can't /thread, deflate your ego.
What would stop players from morphing into their favorite character would be the fact that they wouldn't want to have to morph in the first place. If you could morph into anyone, they wouldn't still receive a damage boost. Maybe for a meter version though. So what if they morphed into Noob and "spammed" shadows? Kung Lao can dive kick over them or teleport. No big deal.

The only way it'd be possible is if they went Trilogy mode with it. Where you selected like 3 or 4 characters you could morph into before the match started. That way there was no loading.
Because there is absolutely no way, even on Next gen, Shang Tsung would have the ability to instantly morph into a selection of 20+ fully textured, fully rendered (inside and out) character models with access to all of their animations, sound files and special moves without causing a hiccup.

Lol you didn't even read my post. I said if the Shang tsung player morphed into Kung Lao, his strategy wasn't working and he then decides to morph into noob instead. It would completely take away from the competitive scene as everyone would just choose Shang and switch characters on the fly, defeating the purpose of hidden cursor at character select and adapting to the opponents strategy with the character they're stuck with. Your argument is invalid and your own ego has been deflated.

Do you realize how incredibly unbalanced that would be for tournament play?

Doesn't matter. Morphing is a primary part of the Shang Tsung character.

To avoid players choosing Shang Tsung to use their favourite characters instead, you could have morphing randomised just like MK9 boss version of Tsung where you would input teh same sequence of buttons to morph into a random character.
Morphing is indeed an inseparable part of Shang Tsung and should not be taken away from him if he appears in the next game.

well it's simple
how about one of these:
1- using another character's special move drains the meter faster.
2- if morphed, the attacking damage will be halved.
3- if he got damaged, the meter will be halved in instant.
4- morphing is locked, and you should unlock each character's morph in Krypt.
using two of those 4 above will make players think before they decide using shang tsung.

I like #4. at least it would give us something good in the krypt.
