Didn't he have to hold his hand against his chest? or close too?
The Beast will blitz him regardless. I'm pretty certain Shang won't be able to soul steal from an opponent he can even see.
And another point. I'm fairly certain conscious fighters with the will to fight off the Soul Steals repel such attempts. Which is why Shang does it once they are unconscious.
No he was not holding his hand against his chest.
And the distance was maybe 20 ft away.
Goro was in the ring and held his body up in the air and Shang who was sitting did the soul steal.
Debatable if he has to see you to do it,or if a conscious fight can 'fight it off/ward it off'.
Also Shang has other powers.He can call forth warriors to do his bidding.He can make atleast 3 or 4 warriors appear while he sit and watch.

Doesn't work like that in the movie. He can only summon the souls of people he's absorbed.
Wait a sec.Are you saying he can only morph into someone he has absorbed or are you talking he can only summon people he absorbed to fight for him?
Plus he also can place people under spells.
He had Subzero and Scorpion slaves to his will as he put it.
There is alot of things Shang can do to put away the Beast.

He never morphed into anybody in the movie. Only summoned souls. Unless he morphed into Liu Kang's brother in the end. I can't really remember.
But how he put them under his control is very ambiguous, you can't use it like it would just automatically work.
Shang gets his face punched in, plain and simple.

He morphed into Lui's brother to try and trick him.
Now the summon thing,he did summon warriors to fight.
How many can he summon? Well he did atleast 3 in the movie.
Shang has too many tricks up his sleeve to lose.
