1. Dont play as Shang Tsung.
I wish people would stop giving me this advice. It's not constructive. I am perfectly capable of winning consistently with Shang Tsung.
I do agree on this. You one of the better Shangs on XBL. However, learning higher tier characters will make everyone you use better.
True Story.
I find that to be quite the opposite in many cases.
Play Sheeva. You learn Sheeva well, you learn everyone well.
Play Cyrax. If you learn how to fully use all of Cyraxs' "Special Moves" in a match, you learn everyone well.
Learn Shang Tsung. You learn Shao Kahn (lol) then you literally learn everyone well.
And finally, play either Sektor, or Robo Smoke, and any of the teleporters (i.e. Scopitits, Erman, H. Smoke).
Sheeva gives you the basics the best, Cyrax gives you the best strategy ideas, Shang Tsung teaches you how to play all characters except for Smoke, and teaches you which characters are generally good counter picks. And of course, Sexor/Robo Smoke teach you how to really piss off a turtling/over teleporting Ermac/Scorpitits/H. Smoke with their 40-63% non corner needing punishers lol.
