Mortal Kombat 1 - How To Restore Shao ‘Kahn’ In The New Era! Downfall And Rise!

[@victorogbuehi3198]

This new Shao is like when Kane took his mask off

[@JuggStreet]

Corporate Kane

[@adrenalrush1999]

In all fairness, Unmasked Kane at first was arguably scarier than Debut Kane imo

[@TylerPKegger]

Once Kane unmasked himself everyone stood a chance and was able to beat him. Masked Kane was unstoppable.

[@madddoggnogood1491]

​@@adrenalrush1999 not when he first debuted ..in 97....Kane was literally wrestling Jason Voorhees.....over time he became leatherface

[@beenjammin2000]

I think 4thSnake said it best. Shao Kahn isn’t a character anymore, he’s a concept. The powerful emperor the only the best can beat. The problem is anyone can beat him.

[@lordtark6736]

These buffoons at NRS made him that way.

[@harverc229]

Mk1 is the beginning of the new era franchise. Shao Kahn is only starting off as a jobber but overtime in the next game or so on he would work his way from a warlord rebel to the emperor he is destined to be. That is…if he doesn’t get killed off shortly after claiming the throne unless rieko would still be alive to be his successor. Hopefully NRS doesn’t screw it up.

[@TheWarchiefZekeJaeger]

MK11 messed that up, but theres the thing, *Shao KAHN* is this concept, here he is General Shao, a rising power figure in Outworld who has a fraction of his power from the old timeline.

[@gdhkof3]

Shao Kahn of Original Timeline and Shao Kahn of current* NRS may as well be two different characters.

[@robertfeldmann542]

a shao khan rise to power conquest mode would be epic

[@masterfulwarriorplus5398]

NetherRealm really assassinated the character of Shao Kahn deeper than Shinnok.

[@fernandoenamorado2480]

No they didn’t Shao Kahn had an amazing first entry and an even better more important story in mk3 making him even stronger in both the story of it and also the actual gameplay he’s a legend Compare that to Shinnok who I love but was playable at his first mainline game and made a fool of by his own henchman quan chi who took the real amulet and he didn’t win Armageddon he should have It could’ve been perfect for him Shinnok was introduced as an elder god who was much stronger than the highest form of shao Kahn but he was now a fallen god and much weaker than he once was he was already severely weakened in his introduction in the series. Shinnok was originally MUCH stronger than shao Kahn or Onaga but and idk if he was weaker as a fallen god to mk2 shao Kahn ,I think he was still slightly more powerful than a base mk2 shao Kahn but not as powerful as a fallen elder god as mk3 shao Kahn who absorbed all earthrealm souls. I think mk3 is when shao Kahn truly surpassed the fallen elder god and indefinitely became a bigger threat and more powerful than shinnok in his fallen god form. He is still powerful in his fall n elder god status it’s just he’s not portrayed that way. Shao Kahn and Onaga are much weaker than the TRUE level of full power elder god Shinnok with his power restored bcuz shaonkajn ar his best couldn’t even scratch raiden and the elder gods compare that to shinnok killing all normal gods but raiden and fujin and almost killing all the elder gods and it took them all to defeat shinnok so there is a gap of power between shaonkajns prime and shinnoks prime One couldn’t scratch the elder gods the other almost destroyed them all… My point is Shinnok is slot more powerful than ppl realize when he has his power restored and more so than sbaonkahn and shinnok is my favorite villain but it’s easy to see that shao Kahn has been the one that shines the most between shaonkajj shinnok Onaga and blaze and deadly alliance. Shaonkahn has despite having originally started off much weaker than emperor Onaga or elder god shinnok managed to kill Onaga twice and take the emperor status in Armageddon atoppped Onaga and Shinnok from winning Armageddon and everyone else he has amazing story but I think shao Kahn the timeline of him who was emperor of outworld for centuries had surpassed Onaga by a slight bit otherwise he wouldn’t have defeated him in Armageddon and claimed victory. Kahn became stronger at his prime from weaker versions of Shinnok or the fallen elder god version of him in mk3 My point is shinnok is this powerful being that neither Onaga nor shao Kahn were anything to him Remember Shinnok is an elder god and he warred with the one being with the other elder gods and defeated the one being. Shinnok almost destroyed all other elder gods so it’s safe to say Shinnok was the main elder god for the one beings defeat THATS ALOT OF POWER! Onaga in his own battle power perhaps was strong and could take down most normal beings but without the kamidogu he can’t come close to warring with the one being and later betraying the other elder gods and almost winning on his own power he wouldn’t get that far without the kamidogu. Shinnoks power is severely underestimated considering his feats of helping defeat the one being and nearly destroying all other elder gods on his own and without any external power ups like Onaga he did it on his own before his power was stripped and yet they have shit on him since the betting making him playable and an easy weak boss in mk4 In canon story he almost took down all the elder gods and normal gods at the same time raiden is included in that war and he went from that and helping take down the one being to losing to Cassie cage and being beheaded by a raiden a much weaker god than him and humiliated! They did not tear down shao Kahn Onaga or even deadly alliance that badly As to have their heads cut off like shinnok was it was insulting as a shinnok lover but I like to think mk11 intro didn’t happen. They shit on shinnok sooo bad every time despite the huge role he played as this ancient god far above emperors Onaga shao Kahn and kotal Kahn. Compared to that shao Kahn’s loses or the ways he’s lost arnt that bad. The problem is he was executed so perfectly in mk2-3 and mk9 that you think he’s been butchered worse than shinnok but at least Kahn had 3 amazing showings and as much as I love shinnok and as powerful as he is in his full power restored, they haven’t allowed him to kill ppl or take everyone to kill him and that’s just sad. At least Kahn didn’t have his head and dignity cut off! Raiden realistically only had the power to do this bcuz he had shinnoks amulet which contains his full elder god power sealed away. When shinnok doesn’t have it he’s basically at a fraction of his power and when someone else wields it they wield shinnoks full elder god power. Raiden possessed shinnoks full power and used it against him to wound and behead him otherwise raidens attacks don’t normally hurt shinnok

MK1 has done irreparable damage to this character. Everyone just calls him "Shao" now.

[@nabilahmed579]

Exactly, and to think people still believe aftermath was actually redemption of shao Kahn (when in reality, it was shit covered with sprinkles - context included, shao is still a terrible character in aftermath) is just straight coping and can’t deal with the fact NRS doesn’t seem to like shao Kahn anymore

[@SupportGamin2024]

Shao kahn(even though sounds better) was never his true name,Kahn is a title

[@ItsOfficiaI]

@@SupportGamin2024 False. Shao Kahn was his name all the way up until X decided to turn Kahn into a title. Onaga didn't go by 'Onaga Kahn'.

[@SupportGamin2024]

​​@ItsOfficiaI doesn't matter ,Kahn is a title at this point whether we like it or not,The writers don't care about their own lore at this point they keep retconning and rebooting things and it's getting very irritating

[@ItsOfficiaI]

@SupportGamin2024 That's literally what I'm saying. MK1 has done irreparable damage to him. Nobody called him just "Shao" until this game.

[@MrGatorYT]

Shao Kahn went from being the mastermind of the OG timeline to being a think-less brute who gets beaten as much as Reiko. Also, this is by far his worst design; I despise the horns that ruins his skull masks. As a kid, I always thought that Shao was an earthrealmer who went to Outworld and became their King. And it would've been a cool concept for MK1 for Shao to be one of Liu Kang's champions and has to compete against Raiden to be the champion, but his jealousy towards Raiden pursues to Outworld and becomes their champion and eventually overthrows Mileena as Kahn from the thirst of conquering.

[@TheWarchiefZekeJaeger]

Thought wrong, m8. Shao Kahn was always meant to be a outworlder, thing is as the time went on, his species was left in the air

[@JOJO_IN_3D]

Happy Birthday, dude!!!

[@nabilahmed579]

[@VRHyoumaru]

I know it's petty, but I really don't like the huge goat horns, they makes Shao hard to take seriously.

[@6-1-98]

Yet the model from mk11 without helmet is atrocious. At least his head looks complete with this look.

[@lordtark6736]

Reading by the comments, i can see that NRS have achieved its goal of ruining Shao Khan image for the public. Turning him into a brain dead brute. Real MK OG fans know Shao Khan is a legendary boss of not just MK but video game history. Shame on you NRS for turning him into a joke.

[@lopirobinson1991]

I for one am excited to see Shao learn sorcery for the first time, if they go that route. And I love his new design. I prefere his old personality but his new design rocks in my eyes. In an Aftermath expansion he should show up and steal a soul for the first time to show how he's learned sorcery. Hell, he could show up and steal the souls of all Havik's servants.

[@НурисломБахромов]

Shao Kahn is my favorite kharacter in Mortal Kombat Universe. He is charismatic, fierce and a true leader. His will on achieving his targets is admirable. I remember facing him for the very first time many years ago and being terrified by the such power. (Those days he was mysterious and interesting, when we were boys we loved to discuss how he actually looks like without a skull mask and what's the stroy behind the cruel Emperor). As time went, I've seen him in the new games and I am not very satisfied with the situation now. His new design is cool, he got an interesting story of being weak child who after endless of brutal trainings transformed himself into one of the most reputable warriors of Outworld and champion of the Empire. But, where is Shao we used to know? Presently his presence doesn't scare anyone. Every other kharacter can beat him in kombat, even Reptile (Syzoth) could win the General who has huge experience and vanquished thousands of wars before... Is it logical? I hope the Netherrealm studious will bring REAL him back in the DLC story.

[@RicoFrGaming]

Imo I think they ruined the whole story with all this multiverse stuff! Ppl saying they don’t want Shao but how is havoc going to be any better as a boss when he is hardly even good as a character? They should have just taken the story from the MKX comics if anything and adapted that into this timeline. I think most ppl who don’t want shao didn’t play the midway era of games when shao was borderline unbeatable and completely overwhelming as a boss! The feeling of relief you feel when you finally beat him will never be matched in this modern MK ever! Next best boss was Onaga who was his emperor before shao betrayed him! Shinnok should be more powerful than both but they already jobbed him out to a teenage girl…

[@bloodycherri2798]

Too much of a good thing is bad, Shao has been used to death that he doesn’t carry the same weight anymore like he once did. As for Titan Havik, I would definitely say he’s a good character, Havik has a lot of potential which this is the original Havik not the new timeline one.

[@bloodycherri2798]

And while I liked MKX comic Havik, I don’t think that would be a good direction for him. As that iteration of him hardly even has the aspects of his original self in Deception/Armageddon.

[@RicoFrGaming]

@@bloodycherri2798 I agree too much of a good thing can be bad but I don’t think that’s what makes shao a bad boss at all. They just started jobbing him out so much to the point that he’s just not scary anymore. They are obviously out of creative ideas at this point and had to go the multiverse route where “anything could happen”. They could have used shao as the new vessel for onaga since he is half dragon in this timeline if anything. I’m not saying havic isn’t a good character in concept I’m saying he isn’t a good character gameplay wise but that’s just my opinion. MKX comics used him perfectly as cleric of chaos causing all types of chaos behind the scenes through manipulation and convincing reiko to become a blood god! That’s a much better route than introducing Titians. Where could they possibly go from here if they already introduced the beings who created the universe itself?

[@mr.mimikyu2342]

Imagine if Shao absorbs the power of Onaga he'll be insanely strong

[@printezstroman]

They've got to figure something out. All they did was, despite an actually great story, make the characters boring. Shao Kahn was way more dynamic than General Shao and Good Sindel is back to things just happening to her. I still don't get the fans that acted like they cared about Sindel before the "retcon." Seriously, the boring characters kill me because I tend to play with characters I like instead of whoever may be the best characters.

[@alberthollow1786]

You also forgot that he got his ass handed to him by scorpion while he was tag teaming him with Shang Tsung💀And all though he had a decent showing as alternate shao kahn,he got beaten down on his back by a weaker Shang Tsung and Quan Chi who have barely started sorcery and haven't consumed nearly as many souls as they did in their past debuts and got his soul absorbed and shared amongst the sorcerers like couples sharing a bowl of spaghetti on their plate.He got done pretty dirty

[@Vasculio]

At least he is still Shao in character. Kuai Liang is now Scorpion? WTF

Yes they really messed this one up bad

[@SupportGamin2024]

[@TherealJakeSim]

The thing people hate about this timeline is the new stuff they did when it’s literally a *new* timeline, Liu Kang is now Time Keeper so just watch and play alright? I would rather the old timeline’s but this timeline is also kinda good (Just hope Hanzo has a better life, he needs to rest)

[@harveysidhu7030]

I disagree that it made sense that Shao and even the Edenians lost to Raiden in MK1. Shao is a decorated war hero and general who potentially has thousands of years of experience in combat (including the Edenians). Madam Bo may have trained Raiden at a young age and is gifted a magic amulet but he shouldn't be able to weave his new powers that quickly and go against someone who has more experience than him and win the first time around. I know it's due to player influence but why couldn't Raiden/Earthrealm lose in a cutscene. It would be a great way to show Shao's might and back up what Sindel what saying about him. I feel they should've allowed us to play as the villains in half of the story to show they are a threat to be taken seriously and then in the end they lose. And again Shao could've had more nuance in this new timeline and instead they made him into a generic bad guy. Tanya also deserves a video like this and she is the only character in the whole of MK1 to have changed so drastically as to not even be remotely recognizable save for the fact she wears yellow.

[@TheWarchiefZekeJaeger]

But m8, that's Shao Kahn vs Liu Kang but less worse, Raiden's victory over Shao is much more beliveable than Liu's victory over Shao Kahn. Shao Kahn is leaps and bounds stronger, powerful and more experienced than General Shao.

[@UnrealNeoBat]

Shao's has alot of traits with Megatron. But, I rather he not upstage the main villains. That would feel like too much of a safe option.

[@umbrascitor2079]

Shao's greatest weakness is how long the series has gone on. An easy source of narrative tension is to pit a weak character against the powerhouse and pose the question "How can they possibly survive?" Then if that character _does_ survive, the weaker character gains while the strong one loses their edge. The greater the number of mortals who can fight Shao Kahn and survive, the more his reputation suffers. The alternatives are to maintain the hierarchy that only one or two characters have a chance (which gets boring after many installments) or to keep escalating the power scale of new threats (which also shifts Kahn and every other villain down the power ladder)

[@calebellis7173]

Shao is no longer the main villain of MK over the years the 2 main villains became Shang Tsung and Quan Chi with Shao being third

[@vagsancho]

Youre correct. And MK loses with that. Cause Shao Khan is much more powerfull and fearfull than all the others.

I want this timeline to go to hell. And what I mean by that is that I went everything to turn south. I want Onaga back in control, Lin Kuei to annihilate the Shirai Ryu, for Shang Tsung/Quan Chi to become powerful threats, the realms against each other and Shao KAHN to make his debut in all of the mess. Now that Shang Tsung messed with Liu Kang’s timeline and Havik plans to do the same, I went this timeline to feel like that Dark and Gritty MK we know. I think General Shao should become Shao Kahn after Onaga is killed. And then Outworld into not nice Earthrealm we know.

You’re definitely right about that. Always being Shang, Shao, quan chi, or shinnok. We definitely need a new big bad. Onaga would be a perfect fit for the role. Or a whole new character. But going by how mk1 ended it might be Titan Havok. We definitely need a change though

Onagas soul used reptiles body The one being used onagas soul himself But before Onags originally died the first time he was actually a good ruler to his people It was Kahn’s meddling and killing that caused the one being to influence Onaga in death when Onaga changed.

Aftermath was shit covered in disguise, mate. Most of his wins aren’t confirmed to be his since you get to pick him or sindel, gets to be the person who beats the opponent (in which that means in actuality and possibly, sindel won all this fights which make his record still unimpressive. His only confirmed wins are KK and liu kang in which aren’t impressive considering KK got reduced to a joke already and FGLK confirmed that he made it that way so he can have his way with shang (meaning Shao wouldn’t have done what he did with liu, hadn’t liu done his plan in aftermath and even then, powerscaling issues). He’s sindel’s and Shang’s bitch (which is worse for sindel’s case considering mk9 had him considered to be a more of a pain in the ass with him showing no love and then in mk11, he’s showing love to a woman who would drop him on a dime the moment she finds something more powerful- which is further confirmed by her intros with cetrion, spawn and sindel’s ending in mk11). Shao’s a dumb simp, who facades to have an impressive record (when in reality he doesn’t in aftermath) bcoz he’s piss poor useless without his woman, who would betray him the moment she got more power.

MK11 Shao Kahn was a joke...Made no damn sense how he got beat by Kitana who got her ass beat by Liu Kang and Sonya in the previous games.

[@rayhayes7701]

Point taken. But to be honest, I'm so bored with Shou Khan

[@DanielQualls-7777]

I hope that if Shao ever becomes Kahn and then dies in this timeline, that Reiko gets to take his place.

[@pittykitty6503]

Can You please do a restoring Goro video? I mained him in MKX and now he seems to be a punching bag in every game. I'm not transphobic but I think that transexual activist worker has a lot to do with how the story is portrayed

[@Kameron87]

Call him Shao Kahn if you are a true fan. Just saying "Shao" just doesnt feel right after calling him Shao Kahn for 30+ years. Bunch of NRS shills/sheep calling him "Shao" saying that OG Shao Kahn was boring....These clowns first game was prolly MK11.

[@RubenRyb66]

lou kang khan ain't got sht on me.

[@SuperGamefreak18]

I feel like Kitana killing Shao is fine in 11 the issue is, his earlier defeats should be him underestimating the state of things in mk 11. Cause Kotal as much of a jobber he is was stronger than the last time Shao saw him. Though I get and honestly enjoy your idea. Also dont mind the subtle change in part of his characterization as in how he wants his kingdom, honestly I'd laugh if when he conquered his realm he's somewhere between his past self and current sindel. Like lusts for power and bloodthirsty as hell but only his enemies get to fully see that.

[@therevelistmovement4683]

May I ask all of you, why is this change so much of an issue? I, for one, have found it refreshing seeing a difference of narrative. If the timelines were always written by one entity, Kronika, then he would always "be made" the one way. Being that he now was made by another, we get to see him in a new way, but, as much, get to see him "come back" to his prior glory irrespective of Liu Kang's involvement. It is likely a higher force that seems to weave certain insisted destinies over others.

MAKE SHAO, KAHN AGAIN says Trump

[@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD]

The only people who should be able to beat Shao Kahn is Raiden, Liu Kang, Onaga, The Elder Gods, and maybe Kung Lao, Shinnok & Shang Tsung

[@fernandoenamorado2480]

I would say Onaga and he was his master but this was long before shao Kahn rose to power. Onaga outclassed general or advisor shao not shao Kahn the emperor. Shinnok is indefinitely much stronger than any form of shao Kahn when shinnoks power is fully restored. At his peak in mk3 mk9 shao Kahn couldn’t scratch raiden and the elder gods and Kahn was quickly killed Compare that to shinnok at full power and he nearly destroyed all the elder gods and normal gods at the same time in one long war! Also even before this,Shinnok was one of the elder gods that helped defeat the one being! Shao Kahn at his best proved he couldn’t harm the elder gods in mk9 Onaga without the kamidogu also doesn’t compare he’s not that strong unless he has those relics they boost anyone so much more But they can’t do what shinnok did helping to defeat the one being Im sure shinnok at his prime was the main reason for the one beings downfall and that’s ALOT OF POWER to put down the one being. No he wasn’t stronger than the one being but the fact that shinnok almost put down all the other elder gods on his own proves he is easily much stronger in his prime than the other elder gods,the same ones that disposed of shao Kahn so quickly… So logically it would make sense Shinnok was the main elder god that was the biggest cause for the one beings defeat in the war between the elder gods and the one being. Shinnok at his prime was fighting the one being along with the other elder gods and later fighting the elder god themselves Compared to shinnok shao Kahn is nothing I don’t see him warring with the one being or the other elder gods like shinnok did Same with Onaga he was only super powerful bcuz of the kamidogu which is literally the one beings essence and power It wasn’t really Onaga but the kamidogu or the one being who’s power ppl saw in deception The kamidogu gave Onaga a massive boost which when taken away in the following game Onaga is seen how strong he is in his own power and not that strong he couldn’t defeat shao Kahn. But yes shinnok and kronica are far above shao Kahn Onaga as emperor was superior to advisor shao But when shao became shao Kahn he was emperor for centuries became much more powerful and surpassed Onaga in Armageddon Onaga was only once again stronger bcuz of the kamidogu in deception but w.oit he reverted baxk to the power when he was emperor and poisoned by shao Except this time shao was shao Kahn and much stronger so Onaga was no longer stronger unless he had kamidogu. But going back to shao Kahn,yes only a few characters should be able to take him Onaga and shinnok down

General Shao is fine the way he is. Him as Shao Khan was getting old after awhile. Let others grow.

[@rotemegozi1044]

I have a feeling he will become kahn again mark my words

[@TheRedVelvetScare]

I always, since MK9 especially, viewed Shao Kahn as a bully type. He'll cheat, he'll sneak attack, he'll be indirect, and he'll get BS power-ups or hacks when needed, but as a character, he's cowardly and weak. Poisoning Onaga, sneaking up on Kung Lao, needing clones and mystics to keep him alive, and due to writing surviving ridiculous amounts of damage that don't make sense... I see him as pathetic, and likely always will. When someone just gets to fight him straight up, feels like he loses most of the time, so all his grand presence is a facade, just like every dictator and bully. I don't think there is anything to save with Shao Kahn, because being pathetic is kind of his thing. Even Shang Tsung can out scheme him easily... like the guy is a walking L.

[@ninjapoundcake]

People always forget that Kitana was marching on Kahn's keep and going to whip Shao Kahn's himbo ass before the events of Deadly Alliance before Shang Tsung and Quan Chi got to him.

[@gjtrue]

She had united the Shokan and the Centaur, if I recall correctly, and had both realms of Outworld and Edenia pretty much on good terms. She likely would have easily conquered the weakened Shao Kahn had the threat of the Deadly Alliance not ruined everything.

[@degenratex4834]

I think we need to explore kitana as emproress instade of shao because he's a been there done that too many times and we need something new. we never got a chance to see how kitana would had rule back in mk 11 and I would like to see that instade.
