I noticed that in all of the 2D MK games, Shang Tsung's fireball was a skull encompased in flames. It evolved slightly in each game until his reappearence in MK:DA where it was a simple Fireball with no good impact. this also returned in MK:A. However, in MK:A and MK:SM's intros, you can clearly see him shooting a Skull Fireball at whomever, but it is completelly made of fire rather than being an actual flaming skull. During the fight with Shang Tsung in MK:SM it is seen as nothing more than a black blur surrounded by flames. Any thoughts on these developments in its use? What don't you like better? Or what do you hate the most?

I think it has to do with how much power he has

Ok, I'll give props to Dragunov, for saying Mileenas over-rated.
The saying failed is really lame now.

The skull fireballs were awesome and better. Maybe they got rid of them because they were too similar to Quan's green magic skulls.

Sorry, but I'm still against MK vs. DC! I want answers to what happened after MKA instead.
I'd rather give birth to a chair than want Tiberius to leave. Farewell!
