:: How to Defeat Shang Tsung ::

Shang Tsung has one major weakness--he never blocks. Something to take note of, that's also quite annoying, is he always teleports when you jump too close to him. If he morphs into Goro, use the normal Goro tactics mentioned here. If he morphs into anyone else, you should be able to defeat him using strategies listed in an aforementioned section. If he remains in normal Shang Tsung form, he's a teleporting duck like Raiden, but, this time, you decide when he teleports and where he appears. Continuously jump towards him, and you'll reach him sooner or later, in which case he'll inevitably teleport. Since you know that he is going to teleport, immediately enter the combination for your special move as soon as you land, in the opposite direction as your jump, since Shang Tsung will appear behind you. If you're playing as Liu Kang, remember to jump right on top of him so he appears further from you, or the Flying kick will miss him. He'll never "learn" this trick, and can be easily defeated when using it if you are playing as the same character that won the previous fourteen matches. Otherwise, if you're playing as Scorpion, you can Teleport Punch while he's on the other side of the screen, and it'll always connect. He'll move to the other side. Teleport Punch over and over and over, until you've defeated him. Cheap as hell, but you gotta do what you gotta do, right?
