You gotta tell people about motaros unique trait that lets Big Boy Kahn combo into his fatal blow. You can do s22 DB3mb DF4 s 22 fatal - kameo. If you hit kameo after the zoom out for the fatal start up motaro comes out and does a quick jab so he can combo. You can get like 50% of one meter like that only motaro does this.
Off a frost or sub freeze he has time to buff his axe and go into b2, b2, j12, s22, db3 amp, df4, dash in s2, df2. It does absolutely amazing damage for just 1 bar. Online I tend to cut back to only 1 b2 at the beginning because sometimes I miss the second but if you're a god gamer then go for broke!
played Shoa the entire game at this point and pretty high in the ranked ladder with him now. I’d have to tell everyone to try Sonya blade kameo. With damage buff you can get a 49% corner combo with her and that’s just the tip of the iceberg fr. His hardest matchups I’ve dealt with so far are Johnny cage, a good nitara will shred you, and really any hard zoner. Yeah you have some zone game but not as much as say Shang Tsung and it’s hard to do anything when you’re gettin zoned hard af. I think he’s the funnest character in the game. His brutalities are awesome and combos are aggressive and flashy. Hope he stays this way lol
Like with fwd 1,2,2 it becomes a 43% combo with buff if you use Sonyas unblockable assist, which is just R1 for me. All of his combos are doing no less than 38% with no buff when using Sonya. Games go by quick asf😂
My prefered kameo for shao is skorpion, got a really swaggy bjg damage kombo while labbing and have landed it a few times in KL now too. J2, 1-2, FKameo, B2, J1-2-2*UKameo, 2-2, DB3(meter), DF4, 2-2, DF2
Bro I’ve been watching your fight replays for Shao tips for a few weeks now🤓. I didn’t find any uploads on YT from you so I just decided to check the rankings and there you were right at the top playing Shao, i was like perfect 👍.
Well I actually started using Shao Kahn with Sareena. And I can tell you it fits perfectly for people who like to get up close and personal, and want to put the physical damage in there to go with the inevitable Emotional Damage. Shao Kahn’s back 2 can easily be comboed into with a 1,2 air combo and then you can juggle them with a 2,2 and hit them with the Amped Knee special and continue from there with the axe slam.
For future videos, would it be possible to not only have them transcribed but during the video use the B, F, you, D, and one, two, three, four as a reference for the combos in an audible form, such as saying, the full combo For people who are blind, like myself or people who just happen to not be able to look at the screen to watch the video, thanks.
This is great feedback. We have a few guides in the backlog, so this may be missed but we can ask our guide hosts to consider this for sure! Out of curiosity, are there any creators who you feel do this part well? We'd love to make our content more accesible.
VGY is back - love to see it! Thank you! Anybody got consitent fatal combos I can land from bnb punish and jump in combo? The fatal link after pop up, s2 to is tight.
My only problem is that his mids are too slow to capitalize on his plus frames. Every time I’m plus they mash and interrupt my mids or duck under standing 2
Going off of other mk games he will most likely low tier, i havent played for much but he struggle against zoner and rushdown chars....which ais alot of the cast....rip
I don't know why everyone only does one punch before grabbing them too smash on the axe. After slamming the axe you can easily get 2 punches in before grabbing them. It's just 2 2 df2.
2,2 is inconsistent imo. Especially if you’re hit confirming and the enemy lands at a weird height, you’ll just whiff and give up your turn for nothing.

Do you know how to play the general? Leave your favorite combos for Shao here in the comments!

That's cool! Thanks for the tip

Another awesome tip! Thank you
VGY is THE shao player. So happy to see the man back making guides for him. Big boy khan is back❤
When Shao has his axe in the ground, his axe slam is also an anti air as it hits a jumping opponent
Excellent tip! Thanks for sharing :)
The goat is back, and just in time. Shao is among the main chars I wanted to learn.
Thank you dashfight. This shao looks awesome and fun, but I've been having a struggle trying to get him down.
TY Dashfight and to get the #1 EU Shao to lead the Guide, was praying to the Elder Gods for a deep guide made and lead by FGC pros!!!

VideoGamezYo, back on that Shao Grind!!!
Best start of the game shao guide ive seen thx so much for putting in the work so other dont have to ❤
Finally a guide from VGY 🔥
Thank you u guys to get us general shao him self to make this guide, s2 video gamez yo
Im watching all of these so i have a basis for shapeshifting as shang lmao
RETURN OF THE KING LETS GO
EDIT: Big Boy Kahn ;)
VGY BACK BBY! AND SO IS DASHFIGHT! WUUUUT!
I'm not a Shao main but this was a good guide and worth a watch
- even to learn what to be on the recieving end of 👍
I think Goro is also good with Shao, a lot of his kameo moves synergize will with Shao well
Well I actually started using Shao Kahn with Sareena. And I can tell you it fits perfectly for people who like to get up close and personal, and want to put the physical damage in there to go with the inevitable Emotional Damage.

Shao Sektor is a lot of fun
Im pretty sure if you want a lil more dmg of jab you can do 1,2 df3, dash, 2, df2. This is for dmg tho if u tryna close out.
ye old big boy khan going in hard in mk1 loving it
Glad to see you again man I’d love to get games in with you
Video Games Yo! This is gonna be a good guide.
I use to use him with montaro but i use him with Kung Lao now his mixups are insane
Big Boy Kahn...nice guide VGY 🙏🏾

Thanks
His standing 2,2 can only be punished by Liu Kang and Johnny cage if they time it but it’s hard
Please do smoke next ! 🙏
BIG BOY KAHN lol thanks for everything
nice guide, but what I's love to see is some combos with Frost as Kameo... if there is any chance to see them in another video, let me know please.
Thanks for the suggestion, we might do that!
I absolutely cannot wait to use big boy kahn
Team Shataro let’s go!
Mix em up!
Could you show his strengths weaknesses and combos without the axe
VGY is back - love to see it! Thank you! Anybody got consitent fatal combos I can land from bnb punish and jump in combo? The fatal link after pop up, s2 to is tight.
Amazing Guide. What controller do you use?
I've noticed his b32 launches only while opponent is in air. So you can do it with motaro fireballs to launch from b32
Good idea!
Where did you get that sweet color palette??
Big boi Kahn
I've been having fun with Shao but finding him very stubby. Think I just need to get better at using the dash mechanic in MK1
It is only the beginning, but big boy Kahn is gonna rule.
Yeah, not general, KAHN
I hope you'lll do one for Shang Tsung.
what are you ending the corner combos with do do fatal?
VideoGamezYOOOOOOOOOO
We have returned 😈🔨
BIG BOY KHAN!
Dang didn’t include Sonya. She’s really good with him
Forward 3 into Motaro teleport into 3,3 confirms into a full combo
I think you’re getting your inputs mixed up. Shao doesn’t even have F3 or 3,3 as a string
idk why u dont do double jab grab (when axe droped)
Some of the combos don't allow for it because of the gravity. You can squeeze in 22 df2 in some combos but not all.
Big boy Kahn
I can’t get the throw to land any tips??
His standing 2 is similar to jokers in mk11
When is the next Fighterz guide?
Big boy Khan
My only problem is that his mids are too slow to capitalize on his plus frames. Every time I’m plus they mash and interrupt my mids or duck under standing 2
Yeah hes not that good. Hes fun but you have to use his standing overhead and low starter to actually hit the opponent.
big boy kahn
I swear 90% of the kids on this game find one combo and just spam that shit and mash low pokes on it, it’s actually insane
BIG BOY KAHN
Shujinko guide when
Its crazy how much this video has aged. Zoning with shao? A 40 frame projectile.
some of the exact combos do less some do more. guess they changed him a lil?
I have the same question
Um why isnt he making this in his own channel? It's been months
Please do such guides for all character with tips from Pro Players who main them (as you did for MK11).
Going off of other mk games he will most likely low tier, i havent played for much but he struggle against zoner and rushdown chars....which ais alot of the cast....rip
confused on why you’re posting his video?
Wtf do the s's mean in your combos
awesome guide great stuff for a scrub like me tx
I don't know why everyone only does one punch before grabbing them too smash on the axe. After slamming the axe you can easily get 2 punches in before grabbing them. It's just 2 2 df2.
Gravity or online lag wont always get you 2 punches and makes you wiff axe ender. 1 punch into ender will always land so its up to you to decide.
2,2 is inconsistent imo. Especially if you’re hit confirming and the enemy lands at a weird height, you’ll just whiff and give up your turn for nothing.
