Shang Tsung's serpent should have killed Titan Shang Tsung. Chameleons and Snakes are my favourite animals, and I can't stand the complete discrimination of them. I want more compassionate serpent characters. Shang Tsung could have killed his titan version like this.
@Gvair22 Pretty anti climactic, for one. For another, I'm pretty sure the younger mortal Shang Tsung didn't have that ability yet. He literally just found the island and soul well as his arcade tower ending.
Correction: Shang Tsung was living rough, selling fake potions before being approached by Shang Tsung. Shang Tsung taught Shang Tsung the greatest sorcery. Shang Tsung was plotting against the realms before Shang Tsung revealed himself and betraying Shang Tsung. Shang Tsung and other Shang Tsung's fought alongside against Shang Tsung. On the pyramid, Shang Tsung tries to defeat Shang Tsung before he is killed off by Shang Tsung. Shang Tsung is defeated by the protagonist which you can choose as Shang Tsung.
"Well, Shang Tsung, thanks for helping me with Shang Tsung. Now allow me to deal with Shang Tsung, Shang Tsung. BEGONE Shang Tsung, may that be the last we see of you. Oh, of course, Shang Tsung, let me send you to your timeline. You are a hero, Shang Tsung , your help with Shang Tsung was invaluable! I hope I see you again Shang Tsung. Thanks for helping me with Shang Tsung!"
Let me correct you, this Shang Tsung is a light version of the evil Shang Tsung, in other words Liu Kang when he was summoning everybody from the many different timelines have a good version of themselves that he possibly picked up to fight in Armageddon
Which is why this is funniest ending. Shang Tsung encourages Shang Tsung to defeat Shang Tsung, however he was killed by Shang Tsung, only to be finally defeated by Shang Tsung.
@@marcusclaybrook8098 That was Damashi not Kronika.. Also Its Titan Shang tsung was the one who ruined Liu Kang's timeline as he disguise as Damashi, which was said by geras Kronika's soul was destroyed Titan's killed cannot be resurrected, but Unknown Entity to interfere Liu Kang's design and after Normal Shang tsung said "Liu Kang meet Damashi"
he was arrested right after lol, this would have made more sense if they used one of the good-guy Shang Tsungs the same way you'd use a good guy Reiko or Shao for this
@@diepiepew12tbh, not surprised. Betrayal is pretty much a big part of his personality at this point. Can we honestly call him Shang Tsung if he doesn’t betray anyone?
"Your defenses have failed Shang Tsung. This is over." - "It is? But I made it to the top." - "Not you, the evil one. Anyway, realize sorcerer, that you brought this on yourself." - "I did?" - "Again, not you. We have no choice but to eradicate you." - "And with you, you mean..." - "THE EVIL ONE IN FRONT OF ME. By the Elder Gods this is confusing."
Shang Tsung's ending- "After escaping Lei Chen prison, I was hounded by the Imperial Police. I needed a place to hide and to recuperate, while I plotted the best way forward. I knew the remote canton of my youth would be perfect. To escape capture, I travelled by sea. Little did I know that a gargantuan storm was brewing. My tiny craft was smashed apart. I closed my eyes, waiting to drown, hoping that the Netherrealm wouldn't claim my soul. But when I reopened them, I found myself not in Hell, but on a deserted island. From its ruins I could tell that great sorcerers had once lived there. In the caves beneath the ruins, I found what I can only describe as a Well of Souls. Once I learn how to wield its power, I will become invincible."
@@tantwoo3865 Yeah. Unlike the others who are Good guy or Another variation of them, Shang Tsung is from the current timeline who joined Liu Kang due to being betrayed.
@@tantwoo3865 some people say this happened only because Titan Shan Tsung contaminated Liu Kangs plan. Maybe he wouldnt have fallen again if it wasnt for the foreign interferance.
It must be said that being betrayed by your other evil counterpart and being called 'chosen' by your sworn enemy when you yourself are evil is still surrealistic.😅
Thank you, Shang Tsung! You have saved our realms/universe/timeline. Now you will be imprisoned (along with Quan Chi, Rain and General Shao) in Outworld. That’s gratitude for ya!
15:26 Liu Kang: Timeline! Without Shang Tsung, to hold it together, it's falling apart! Good Shang Tsung: Ahem! I'm right here! Liu Kang: No not you! It's your Titan counterpart! You have to go back to your own world before it collapses! Thank you for your aid Shang! I'll see you again Tsung! 😊
shang tsung: the question you must ask is: if liu kang couldn't finish us how possibly could you shang tsung (you): or the true question you must ask yourself is: if your followers couldn't finish me how possibly can YOU
What Liu Kang failed to understand is that Shang Tsung wants to be who he is. You want to redeem him, make him “good”? Give him what he wants and give him motivation to be “good”. Same with all others he took powers from, Vaeternus wants to be immortal, Quan Chi wants to be who he is.
In a way it kinda crosses against what Kronika struggled to understand. Timelines are fluid in their nature and yet like a water current they will inevitably converge together into a singular place. Nothing will be like how they designed it to be because that's how fate and free will works. Kronika in her attempts to find "equilibrium" failed to understand that you can't bend time to your whim, Keeper of Time or otherwise. Liu Kang also failed to understand this in his attempts to create a kinder and more peaceful timeline. He failed to rid the evil in people's hearts and could only suppress it, because evil people are destined to be evil. The Black Dragon is still a thing in his timeline, Shao still ends up being a conqueror, Sindel and Jared still die, Bi-Han still falls to his own ego and arrogance, somehow Onaga was still created despite Reptile being a good person this time around, and many many more flaws. Even Raiden managed to conform back slowly to his original self (in his tower ending, he sought out Scorpion to learn how to weaponize his wrath, almost the same way Dark Raiden did). The utopia that both Kronika and Liu Kang envisions are both beyond their reach, because they are not the architect of fate. They just decide how it all began, but not how it ends.
The fact that there's a good Shang Tsung and Quan Chi in the multiverse who proudly sacrifice themselves for the player means that Liu Kang made a mistake by giving a powerless and miserable life to his Shang Tsung, he could be at least a neutral figure with proper life and good lessons. I mean General Shao at least had a reason to not be a threat or conqueror before titan Shang tsung appeared by having him trying to honor his father's legacy.
Of course the titan shang tsung would have away to ruin everything so he might have found new champions. Probably also mess with the alternative good version of himself make him look like an enemy when he is not.
💛 If you play as Shang Tsung, there are 3 Shang Tsung in the scene. (Your Shang Tsung, good Shang Tsung, and evil Titan Shang Tsung.) 💜 If you play as Mileena, there are 4 Mileena in the scene. (Your Mileena, and 3 evil Mileena who try to stab your eyes.) 💙 If you play as Jhonny Cage, there are 5 Jhonny Cage (or more) in the scene. (Your Jhonny, 3 Jhonny who help you fight evil Goro, and 1 female Jhonny who fight you, and maybe other fusion Jhonny.)
This and other videos like this will most likely be the only time we'll ever get to see a heroic Shang Tsung especially one of his doppelgangers that fights titan Shamg Tsung
So basically we had 2 good versions of Shang Tsung for the first time in the entire series. The Shang Tsung we play as and the Titan Shang Tsung that got absorbed alongside Quan Chi. That's so sick mate! finally mah fella managed to get a win, if possibilities are endless indeed, there had to be one or two good versions of him somewhere in the Multiverse.
Technically, the playable Shang Tsung isn't so much "good" as he is "the lesser evil" here. He's expressly allied with Liu Kang and the heroes out of both self-preservation and a desire for revenge on his Titan counterpart - apparently, even being deceived by another version of himself is an unforgivable insult. Although the fact that he's actually, wholeheartedly working with the good guys without even planning a backstab is still the closest to heroism that he'll probably get in this timeline.
In case if you were wondering, this is the exact same Shang Taung you just throw hand earlier in the game, source? He wear the same outfit as his normal match
Most of the characters you can choose are from the Liu Kang timeline, a few have a Titan skin that differentiates them. This ending is really funny considering that lol
@@Megatron-1 I think thats not the intention i just think they didnt wanna give everyone an alt, for some reason? Just cus the dialouge about seeing which ever fighter again at the end doesnt make sense, but its neverrealm so probably not gonna get an answer till next game lol
@@grenadesblows719 It probably wasn't intended, but it's still pretty funny. Seeing the mutual flattery between Liu Kang and Shang Tsung only to learn that he was sent to prison as soon as he returned to his timeline is hilarious to me😂
2:37 why is no one talking about Dark Johhny Cage? When i saw him in the Armageddon. I always wondered how did he treat his producers and his fans... are they his slaves in Shang Tsung's timeline? Until now i am looking for answers for this Johhny Cage
New Era Shang Tsung vs Titan Deadly Alliance Because Titan Shang Tsung disguised as Kronika that drove him to evil actually tricked him to kounqer the world. And plus, his smirk is also a reason that he's a victim of the deception.
Shang Tsung meets Shang Tsung,Shang Tsung helps Shang Tsung and later Shang Tsung betrays Shang Tsung, After that Shang Tsung kills Shang Tsung and Liu Kang teleports Shang Tsung to his timeline.
@@coypandora0795yeah but how weak characters as Reiko, Tanya , Baraka (weak and sick) can beat Titan Shang Tsung who have defeated God fire liu kang and absorbed his soul ?
If you mean the one you control, yes as compared to other vilain like Shao, reiko, rain that actually change outfit to demonstrate that they're from other timeline
@@FrenchOverlordAs far as I am concerned, every character in the Armageddon chapter of the game is a titan with their own timeline. Liu Kang himself admits that the possibilities are endless, with that in mind, the odds are that this Shang Tsung simply dresses the same as the Shang Tsung from Liu Kang's timeline - but isn't the same Shang Tsung we've become familiar with since the start of the game. Otherwise, interactions like the "and they called me the chosen one" line make zero sense.
@@GtaPlayer-eo6tmtrue, but I think there are multiple versions of him, one that's a ruler, one that is a beast AKA Mortal Kombat 1, and if I remember correctly Liu Kang said there was an Onaga that was a Titan
This is the best option for the endgame because Shang Tsung from the new timeline fixed the mistake he made as we finally saw Liu Kang teamed up with Shang Tsuung
I love that they turned Shang into an anti hero, he pushes the plot forward, he’s like shujinko in that he thinks he’s doing right until it’s too late and has to team up with lui kang to save everyone. Honestly I think Shang will have the best overall character development in the series moving forward. In my opinion lui kang secretly set this timeline up for Shang to become champion of mortal kombat in the future when everyone else is dead and he’s the only one lui can rely on
Part of this makes sense, since this version of Shang Tsung only exists bc of Titan Shang Tsung, so you can argue he have some good will for the safety of the timeline. Even if his ending was all a ruse and leads him to the island
Is the Shang Tsung the player is playing our Shang Tsung from MK1? Reason I ask is the dialogue seems to nice to be our one even though I think it is cause he’s wearing the same clothes?
Its canonical that Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa changed his face model and upgraded to needles as weapons in the timeline where Mr. Tagawa won his battle with Fire God Liu Kang.
Question is Shang Tsung in this game harder to fight as a boss than as an opponent. Does he have boss exclusive moves or can you use every move when you play as him.
he doesn't have anything special as the final boss so i presume this is why the player start with less health when you fght him at the top of the pyramid. You could also argue that his Kameo being Quan Chi is special since he's still not in the game yet but overall it's just regular Shang Tsung
2:39 not to mention almost every Johhny Cage main are using Dark Johhny Cage skin without even asking themselves about Dark Johhny. Like are they supporting a evil Johhny Cage? Because man i wont be wearing that skin as a Johhny Cage user since its the evil version of him
Shang Tsung got his powers from Titian ST yet he’s also learning and found his Island, even tho Lue Kang nerfed him. It’s seems like he is literally Lue Kangs Equal. They are Yin & Yang, always will be my main to use their own Kombatant against em 😂 🐍
Wish the New Era shang stays and fix the problem to redeem himself to fix his mistake and then he is the one to hold on the timeline and decided to be the new titan and create and designs his own timeline of his own but a better version with no corruption or tricks. Then becomes the protector of both earthrealm and outworld. Mentoring raiden(the great raiden) then later a million years fujin would be liu kang and modern raiden would be kung lao. Kung lao is the bo rai cho and liu kang is the fujin. Then sub zero is sektor, smoke is tundra and cyrax is johnny cage. Johnny cage is kabal(the mk9 version who quit the black dragon). Striker would be jax and kira is sonya. Kano will be sektor and bi han is cyrax, kenshi is scorpion, kuai liang is smoke, kobra is kano, sonya is kira, hsu hao the sorcerer and advisor to onaga, goro is the general and still champion of outworld. Shao kahn is the king of edenia and his queen is li mei, sindel is the umgadi general and tanya is her 2nd in command. Jerrod is the king of outworld and close ally to NE Titan Shang tsung(advisor of both earthrealm and outworld). Onaga is the conqueror of orderrealm and chaos realm. Mileena is not a clone or related to kitana. Kitana is the clone and onaga's daughter. Ashra is the evil version of sindel.
Imagine being titan Shang Tsung and seeing multiple versions of yourself come to kick your own ass cause you're so sick of your own crap

@@coypandora0795yeah but how weak characters as Reiko, Tanya , Baraka (weak and sick) can beat Titan Shang Tsung who have defeated God fire liu kang and absorbed his soul ?
Is this the Shang Tsung from Liu Kang’s timeline?
If you mean the one you control, yes as compared to other vilain like Shao, reiko, rain that actually change outfit to demonstrate that they're from other timeline
@@FrenchOverlord 6:11 kitana kahn I remember her for mk11
@@FrenchOverlordAs far as I am concerned, every character in the Armageddon chapter of the game is a titan with their own timeline.
Liu Kang himself admits that the possibilities are endless, with that in mind, the odds are that this Shang Tsung simply dresses the same as the Shang Tsung from Liu Kang's timeline - but isn't the same Shang Tsung we've become familiar with since the start of the game.
Otherwise, interactions like the "and they called me the chosen one" line make zero sense.
@@FrenchOverlordonaga is still alive
@@GtaPlayer-eo6tmtrue, but I think there are multiple versions of him, one that's a ruler, one that is a beast AKA Mortal Kombat 1, and if I remember correctly Liu Kang said there was an Onaga that was a Titan
Have you tried shapeshifting into the fused characters while using Shang Tsung?
11:09 Shang Tsung vs. Frostbite
9:59 lol XD
Shang Tsung fighting Shang Tsung. Shang Tsung wins!
Also the line of Liu Kang: "You have done more than enough, let me handle this!" XD
"Shang Tsung
Put your tricks away Shang Tsung
I'm not taking your crap right now Shang Tsung
Guy named Sorcerer
This is the best option for the endgame because Shang Tsung from the new timeline fixed the mistake he made as we finally saw Liu Kang teamed up with Shang Tsuung
but then he still ends up in prison, although he then escapes from there into the sea and winds up on his future canonical island
-Thank you for your aid Shang Tsung….may we one day meet again…
That….Liu Kang never said that…
If Shang Tsung Sought Redemption… 💝
I like to imagine this version of Shang Tsung is actually just a chill faith healer in his home timeline, instead of a snake oil salesman.
What a shame dlc characters aren’t playable
7:10 Quite the Shang Tsung reaction after watching an absolute carnage unfold before his eyes the would give normal humans PTSD.
I love that they turned Shang into an anti hero, he pushes the plot forward, he’s like shujinko in that he thinks he’s doing right until it’s too late and has to team up with lui kang to save everyone. Honestly I think Shang will have the best overall character development in the series moving forward. In my opinion lui kang secretly set this timeline up for Shang to become champion of mortal kombat in the future when everyone else is dead and he’s the only one lui can rely on
Ending it with Shang Tsung sounds poetic don't you think?
10:10 Shang Tsung vs. Cyber Smoke
7:20 Shang Tsung vs. Sento Storm
The graphics are beautiful
Part of this makes sense, since this version of Shang Tsung only exists bc of Titan Shang Tsung, so you can argue he have some good will for the safety of the timeline. Even if his ending was all a ruse and leads him to the island
🤍 If you play as Quan Chi, There's 4 or More Quan Chi's on this scene (Your Quan Chi, Evil Titan Quan Chi, Good Quan Chi & Other Fusions of Quan Chi)
3:22-4:11-8:20-10:08-11:12
I always wondered about this scene. Is it canon for a particular character to end this scene or is it just one of those multiverse things?
Shang Tsung should have been loyal and helpful like this all along
3:24 Shang Tsung vs. Quantum Chi
When ARE we getting create a character?
I like the attention to detail of all the random hybrid fighters considering Armageddon had custom characters.
Shang tsung beat a shang tsung kill a shang tsung🤣
6:12 Shang Tsung vs. Kitana Kahn
Lui kang: thabk you for your aid shang tsung may we *NEVER* meet again >:3
Deadly Alliance
Too many Shang Tsung!
I hope that you’re able to do this chapter with Omni man
i will, currently downloading the update while on my lunch
@@FrenchOverlord do you know what time he’s supposed to drop, I live in NC, I’m assuming it’s gonna be 1:00 pm
@@cjmodmanboom8518 he already dropped, im on EST time so it should available for you also, but he's not selectable for chapter 15 so that wont happen
@@FrenchOverlord hopefully he’ll be available for chapter 15 cuz I’d love to see that
Is the Shang Tsung the player is playing our Shang Tsung from MK1? Reason I ask is the dialogue seems to nice to be our one even though I think it is cause he’s wearing the same clothes?
No different Shang
This is Shang Tsung from the New Era.
Assist me Quan Chi😂😂will forever bang
Armageddon with deadly
when you cannot trust anyone even yourself
Its canonical that Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa changed his face model and upgraded to needles as weapons in the timeline where Mr. Tagawa won his battle with Fire God Liu Kang.
Question is Shang Tsung in this game harder to fight as a boss than as an opponent. Does he have boss exclusive moves or can you use every move when you play as him.
he doesn't have anything special as the final boss so i presume this is why the player start with less health when you fght him at the top of the pyramid. You could also argue that his Kameo being Quan Chi is special since he's still not in the game yet
but overall it's just regular Shang Tsung
Disappointing I thought @@FrenchOverlord
@@billmcdermott9647 yeah i agree
@@billmcdermott9647I’m guessing with Chapter 2, hopefully it’s better.
@FrenchOverlord oh well guess the hype makes up for it.
If you play as Shang Tsung couldn't you turn into the the fused characters in the final chapter?
I hope someone makes a vid about it
2:39 not to mention almost every Johhny Cage main are using Dark Johhny Cage skin without even asking themselves about Dark Johhny. Like are they supporting a evil Johhny Cage? Because man i wont be wearing that skin as a Johhny Cage user since its the evil version of him
its just a skin it won't change the dialogue
@@MK_GM98 well. Ive always wondered about how did Dark Johhny Cage treat his fans in his timeline now that u mentioned it
@@AML665 they should have change the dialogue for evil version of the characters like they did in mkx
@@MK_GM98 agreed
Shangtsung Redemption: The Movie.
Shang Tsung got his powers from Titian ST yet he’s also learning and found his Island, even tho Lue Kang nerfed him. It’s seems like he is literally Lue Kangs Equal. They are Yin & Yang, always will be my main to use their own Kombatant against em 😂 🐍
*Shang Tsung defeats Shang Tsung!?* 🤔
6:20 we alredy have kitana kahn
Uhh no, she was erased same as everyone in MK9-MK11 era
como se obtiene a Shang Tsung en el armaggedon?
Wish the New Era shang stays and fix the problem to redeem himself to fix his mistake and then he is the one to hold on the timeline and decided to be the new titan and create and designs his own timeline of his own but a better version with no corruption or tricks. Then becomes the protector of both earthrealm and outworld. Mentoring raiden(the great raiden) then later a million years fujin would be liu kang and modern raiden would be kung lao. Kung lao is the bo rai cho and liu kang is the fujin. Then sub zero is sektor, smoke is tundra and cyrax is johnny cage. Johnny cage is kabal(the mk9 version who quit the black dragon). Striker would be jax and kira is sonya. Kano will be sektor and bi han is cyrax, kenshi is scorpion, kuai liang is smoke, kobra is kano, sonya is kira, hsu hao the sorcerer and advisor to onaga, goro is the general and still champion of outworld. Shao kahn is the king of edenia and his queen is li mei, sindel is the umgadi general and tanya is her 2nd in command. Jerrod is the king of outworld and close ally to NE Titan Shang tsung(advisor of both earthrealm and outworld). Onaga is the conqueror of orderrealm and chaos realm. Mileena is not a clone or related to kitana. Kitana is the clone and onaga's daughter. Ashra is the evil version of sindel.
NGL, Quantum Chi looks amazing!!
