Daily Kombat: Shang Tsung

"Your soul is mine!"

My recipe to beating most AI opponents with Shang Tsung was lots of ranged attacks and the occasional Soul Steal. As with Kano's Ball, the Soul Steal involves unusually many directional inputs, but it's very manageable. The most difficult opponent turned out to be Shang Tsung himself. Apparently the AI makes a lot better Shang Tsung than I do. I eventually beat him after he turned into Kratos, who is easily beaten with any character. Basically, Shang Tsung's weakness is that he often turns into someone who is easier to defeat than just plain Shang Tsung is.

I wish someone had put effort into these endings.
