Example of the soul steal in MK11: https://youtu.be/XFUH767Mql4

This is what I imagine if shang tsung soul steals zetterburn & copies his moves in rivals of aether. If Anyone's willing to do it, it would be amazing to see shang tsung in Rivals of aether with his soul steal in it as a functioning support like kirby's copy ability support.

you could probs check the kirby code for something like that. it would require mod creators to add the support but im sure most people are willing to help

I'm not good at making characters, I'm hoping if Anyone makes him well done & eventually tournament compatible. The copy move should be down Special where he does the move as seen in MK11. Sprite sheets, animations & maybe additional moves done only by specific Inputs. (like street fighters inputs) this will be a big project for any mod maker in ROA steam workshop there is.

I don't think its too crazy tbh. would he copy every move or just one?

Is Soul Steal even possible to code in Rivals? It might be too much for the game to handle.

i mean i know for kirby you can make him copy multiple moves so id assume any kind of copy would be possible. it would just take a lot of work from you and mod creators.

@Snolid Ice & @OxiTape™ Shang Tsung's copy ability is going to be different from Kirby's. it's going to have a time limit rather than keeping the moves forever unless you taunt. It lasts like 15 or 20 seconds. Same as the appearance as the fighter after he soul steals. Cuz if you watch the video I provided, you'll know what I mean.

Coping moves from the oponents "attacks" folder is totally possible
However
there is no way to access the oponent's update.gml file.
So any move that requires it pretty much breaks

There has to be another way to implement it without breaking the game

This would be possible if they got only one move.

Thing is, that the update.gml could only support one copied move. We could ask the dev team to add that feature in a future update to make this support possible. For now, copying one move is the only way to sort of foreshadow the concept of having to steal all moves rather than one like Kirby's copy ability.

no

@fat f uck yes, I'm already developing him right now bro.
