Shen's abilities were not completely seen because he was defeated. But, it's possible in a straight up fight against Po he would win. Of course that's only if Po didn't find inner peace. Tai Lung didn't have inner peace so it's possible that this fight would go on for a while with Shen and Tai Lung. Both are angry villains with grudges against Po.

Po wasn't the only person Tai Lung had a grudge with. Because Tai Lung was angry with Shifu for not standing up for him when Oogway said no to giving him the Dragon Scroll. Shen had a grudge against his parent's for banishing him, and in his words he states that they hated me. Of course which isn't true based on what the Soothsayer said.

However, there grudges wouldn't be against each other because their both out for a type of revenge. Shen's was more ambiguous compared to Tai Lungs. So, Shen would just win in that regard because his anger is greater then Tai Lung's.

Anger doesn't really influence the strength of someone or does it? I know anger can make someone feel stronger for a second or so. Because anger's physical effects don't last very long... But, I would agree with you that the Anger of Shen was better and greater then Tai Lungs.

Basically what I've heard about anger is that it gives you a small amount of Adrenaline which makes you feel stronger for a few seconds to minutes. However, the serotonin is released to remove the adrenaline which makes you release the anger. So, yes the anger's effects don't last long at all because it's natural for us to get angry in spurs of the moment. But, we let it go usually.

Agreed. Of course anger can influence our motives to especially Shen's because had a short temper getting angry rather quickly. It's possible that his mind was warped by his banishment.

It's possible but I won't doubt that Shen's banishment cause a lot of anger and confusion about his parent's. Because he thought his parent's hated him and the pride he had when he killed the Panda's was rejected by his parent's as well. I assume they were horrified by it. Which I would be to if I saw my son or daughter killing a village of innocent people.

Yeah... Shen's parent's were troubled by his actions prior to his genocide of Panda's. Shen as a villain was a lot better then Tai Lung. I didn't think Tai Lung had much depth as a villain. Yes we know he was upset about not becoming the Dragon Warrior and that he lost 20 years of his life in prison. So, his anger definitely intensified over the years as he was rotting in prison.

But, knowing that Shen could easily take on Tai Lung and win by either his Kung Fu or weapon.

His Cannon = defeats all Kung Fu. With the exception of Po and his inner peace. Shifu states anything is possible once you've unlocked inner peace. Basically Po used the chi movements of inner peace to move the cannon balls. Tai Lung would have no such ability.

Yup.... Tai Lung would be a dead Snow Leopard. Shen's cannon was powerful enough to stop Thundering Rhino and the Legendary Cloud Hammer.

But, assuming they had an honorable duel though. Shen would likely win because of his ability to use his tail as a distraction. He also used his throwing knives and blade flawlessly.
