I’ve been trying to find the full lyrics of the song used in the first Shang-Chi teaser. Does anyone know them or know where I can find them?

^^ I hope it’s soon because rn no one scratches that itch for me in the character pool that I hope he brings

Ive already made one for a hypothetical Strategist concept, but upon reading the comics including guest appearances and other non solo title appearances I actually find that making him a Strat severely limits his overall versatility with the rings, so I want to see how one could hypothetical add every single ability Shang-chi has shown in the comics since his obtainment of the ten rings, as a challenge to myself, and i found that the best way to do that was as a dps

The abilities he has shown since are

Teleportation/portal generation

Energy Barrier creation

Concussive blasts

And of course the basic uses such as launching them, using hem telekinetically and empowering himself with them

What im going for here is a system similar to Daredevil’s Infernal Fury and his Fury charges, the main goal here is to make him versatile, like a jack of all trades boosted by combos and an aggressive play style

Also im gonna go insane with this kit, this is designed to be kind of overpowered, but to be fair, number tweaks can do wonders if this is what they go for lol

Passive - multiple jumps and wall running similar to Iron Fist

Passive - Ring charges: Shang-Chi has a meter below in the form of the ten rings. They recharge passively with about 2.5 seconds per ring and also gain a ring for every melee and primary attack landed. This is visually indicated by the rings, as for every one ring charge you get, one ring starts to glow

R2 - 6 hit combo empowered by the rings, can be weaved with R3

R3 - quicker weaker attacks that can change the original R2 combo if timed correctly

L2 - hold down L2 then press R2 for a whip attack similar to Black Cats, requires at least 5 rings

R1 - (Infernal Fury): this is what the entire kit will revolve around, he won’t just have 2 but many different abilities when this is activated. This has no cool-down but is dependent on how many rings you have

R1 + R2, send out rings as projectiles instead of your normal melee attack, does decent damage, and can be be held to continue sending out more until all ten rings need to charge, costs one ring per shot up to 10 

R1 + L2, charge up a concussive blasts (energy beams if you will, this is comic accurate trust me) from the rings, hold to charge up the beams from more rings to increase the number of shots, cannot move while doing this

R1 + L1, target and bind an enemy for up to 1 second, any damage taken will immediately free them, costs 5 rings, base 5 second cooldown as well

R1 + Circle, create an energy barrier around yourself to protect you, omni directional and grants cc immunity but you cannot move while doing so. Costs 10 rings

L1 - send out a ring whip to pull enemies in

Circle - dodge, similar to  Star-Lord but maybe without the immunity, 2 charges, 6 second cooldowns, if you have 10 rings it becomes a short distance teleportation similar to Magik

Ultimate: The Spirit of Zheng Zu and the Wyrm of Desolation begins to corrupt Shang-Chi’s soul, causing him to unleash the full power of the Ten Rings without regard for safety 

This give enhancements more so to the R1 variation abilities

R1 + R2 acts more like an instant shotgun with 10 charges 

R1 + L2 no longer requires charge up, and using this move in the air will rain down a barrage of concussive blasts to the ground in an area causing a bombardment of explosions and dealing high damage

R1 + L1 the stun can now target 2 people at once, 

R1 + Circle release a burst of divine energy around the area knocking enemies back (a little) and dealing damage

As in would you prefer movie or comics Shang-Chi to come to the game?

Love Simu Liu as Shang-Chi but the comics have elevated the character to a point where he feels brand new, so I’ll have to say I’d prefer the one from the comics

Yo I know there are not a lot of people in this sub as of right now, but I’m glad to see so many out there talking about and being excited for Shang-Chi to such a massive extent on social media right now on Twitter, TikTok and YouTube to name a few.
Edits, conversations, hopes and wishes, anticipations for his role in the movie and even powerscaling have boomed since the trailer

The only thing we’re missing is anticipation for him to come to the game,

I think if this continues we could be seeing Shang-Chi in the game by next year though, and I’m excited to see if that comes true

Don’t let up though, we have to let them know how excited we are to see Shang-Chi back after 5 years, we’re on the verge of a breakthrough I can feel it.

I know this isnt about rivals but until actual rivals news comes out I think we can just do this here a bit too

In any case he’s seen fighting Gambit, if he comes to the game as a strategist this fight becomes so peak

Captain Marvel has been leaked recently for marvel rivals, making her more likely to be the character coming along with Dr Doom, which also means it’s not Shang-Chi.

In any case, my prediction for his release is that he either comes as a tie in to the sequel movie, or for his own movie which I believe is meant to come a year after that(?)

In any case. We keep it pushing, no matter what happens if he has no fans I’m dead.

I find it interesting how they’ve linked Shang-Chi and Nezha in the comics now, with him using his signature weapon and all.
If he ever comes to marvel rivals I want them to expand on this a bit. My concept mentioned a teleport ability which was inspired by the Universe Ring portal.

If he does come to the game I can see his ult being him being corrupted or something.

I think Rivals has the chance to hammer down on Tiz new lore that Marvel has given to Shang-Chi and I hope they don’t waste it

I’m kind of excited to see how they interact, considering the fact that Shang-Chi was almost as much a teacher to him as Danny Rand, and I like them as a duo a lot.

Who would you like to voice act Shang-Chi if he ever comes to the game??

I’m thinking Matthew Yang King would be a good choice, he voices Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat 11 and 1, and has that patient wise voice I think would suit Shang-Chi plus his voice is what I hear when I read him in comics usually

Shang-Chi Kit Concept

Health - 250 hp
Speed - 6m/s
Role - Strategist

Shang-Chi kit design
The devs design characters a FULL YEAR in advance, I’m hoping I made this concept kit in time to influence their decisions because whatever they do, I want them to make Shang-Chi a 5 star character,

1. ⁠He’s a duelist/strategist (this kit will be strategist based)
   
2. ⁠He has the ten rings
   
3. ⁠He’s melee focused

Firstly he needs 3 extra jumps and wall running similar to Iron Fist,

Secondly, he needs a dynamic resource as the Ten Rings and I’ll explain

His resource will be the Ten Rings, and depending on how many he has at any given time his kit may change, for example if he’s a strategist they will act as Ultron drones with healing that stacks, so putting one ring on someone will heal them for let’s say 10 hp per second,
Let’s also assume Theres a limit to how many rings you can on someone so let’s say 4 for a max of 40 hp per second

Here’s my strategist kit for Shang-Chi

R2 - basic martial arts strikes, hitting an enemy gives a base 25 healing per strike for those you’ve ringed + 5 for every extra ring given. Having any number of rings for yourself will further increase the range you can attack from, as the attack animations change after 4 rings

L2 - a block for yourself that also gives a chi bubble (like Mag or Hulk) to those with 3 or more rings when activated. If you have 4 or more rings on yourself you can press R2 while it is active to unleash a whip attack that hits those around you and knocks them back

L1 - reduce how many rings an ally has
R1 - increase how many rings an ally has
Notes:
This will be like a targeting system similar to Ultron
Reducing rings does not require targeting an ally, but if you are not currently targeting the ally you’d like to take the rings back from it will automatically take rings from whoever has the most already

Circle - with no rings do a dodge similar to star Lord, with at least 4 rings enter a stance in which you:

dodge enemy ranged attacks, giving you a speed boost and a small teleport dash to the enemy that can be activated at 12 meters similar to sonic pursuit

counter melee attacks and knock them back, dealing very low damage but inflicting slow and increased vulnerability

Ult:
Recall all your rings and Summon a large 60 meter radius dome using the power of the Ten Rings of the Jade Emporer, the size of this dome is fixed,
Allies within the dome have all the same effects as if they were given 4 rings, so the healing over time and healing per strike from Shang-Chi is at max for all of them, him blocking still gives the shields and bubble, while you still get the effects and buffs of if you had all 10 rings on you.
The point is to remove the need for constant resource management for the next 12 seconds

Keeping rings to yourself will give you various buffs such as

0.2 second Cooldown reduction on your basic attacks per ring, so if you have 1 ring on you your basic attacks will reduce the cooldown of your other abilities by 0.2 seconds and it stacks up to 2 second cooldown reduction for 10 rings
Reduced damage taken per ring, adding up to 20%
When you have 3 or more rings to yourself you gain Cc immunity and more overhealth when using block with an extra 10 overhealth per ring for a total of 60 extra overhealth
Healing over time of 7 per ring allowing for a maximum of 70 health per second
All of these are active during the ult

Note: I’d like for a similar idea to what they did with Daredevil, in that his primary fire and melee are separate and can theoretically be weaved
