Shang Tsung takes this with a fair amount of ease. He is far older than Zuko and is a former Mortal Kombat Champion, meaning he's handeld some superb warriors. But he also has the souls of those he's defeated in him giving him ther knowledge,skill and power. Zuko is in his teens and while he's seen more action than most adults he's not comparable to Shang Tsung who has been fight sense befor Zukos ancestors were born. Now Add Shang Tsung ablity to transform, that is somthing Zuko has never seen, it's a huge surprise factor and will take Zuko off guard, where as Zuko's powers are eather mundan to what Tsung has seen. At close rang Tsung is praobly more skilled with his sword than Zuko is given his experance and the souls he has. Fire is fire some in those respects there mid and long range attack are farily even but Zuko's special is only defensive in nature, where as Shang Tsung can transform into number of warriors and use there abilitys.
