Combos

Auto Combos

1. HK, HK, B+HK 3 hits 19%, 28%, 30%

2. HP, HP, LP, B+HK 4 hits 22%, 31%, 33%

3. HK, HP, HP, LP, B+HK 5 hits 27%, 37%, 39%

Basic Juggles

1. ground eruption, aaHPHP double fireball 7 hits 43%

Advanced Juggles

Ground eruption from full screen, run inbetween the middle and closest eruption fireball so the last hit knocks them back infront of Shang Tsung, and repeat the eruption like this, it is possible to set it up once you get to the corner to send them the other direction however it is an extremely difficult juggle, only real set up would be on a turtle in the corner throwing air projectiles, but that's not going to happen against Shang Tsung.

2. aaLP ~(BL,HK for Kabal Morph) spin, aaHPHP, JK, air fireball, 6 hits 47%

3. (near corner) aaHPHP, double fireball, JK, HK 6 hits 59% (more possible but tricky timing is involved plus just don't use Shang Tsung)

Morph and GE related Combos of various degrees of difficulty:

1. aaDouble Fireball, [Ermac], teleport punch, aaHP, Lift, aaHPHP, aaHP, fireball 8 hits about 47%

4. GE, [Jax] aaHPHP, JK, air throw, 7 hits 59%
