Performing combos as Shang Tsung has a few unique variables. If you know the opponent’s character, you can end most of Shang’s combos with Soul Steal (Back, Forward+2). You won’t get maximum damage, but it’s an easy way to guarantee a Soul Steal. If you don’t know the opponent’s character, you can end your combos with Ground Eruption (Down, Back+1) or Sorcery Rush (Back, Forward+4). For some combos, ending with Back, Forward+4 can be more strict and require precise timing. If you’re having trouble, go for the easier Ground Eruption ender.

Note: All combos are performed using the Warlock tournament variation, but can also be performed in the Outworld Sorcerer variation.
