[@James_Kosmo]

Honestly as a Shang main from mk2 all the way to now i got a bit worried that Quan would ruin Shang. But after playing against many quan chi's i think that Shang is way deferent since you can do much damage with no bar. but quan chi has to spend all of his bar for good damage. Also you can punish quan chi with a full combo if you think that he will open a portal. And the normal projectile trades are worth it most of the time. Also quan chis projectiles dont deal that much damage compared to Shang's. For example Quan's normal projectile with the portal buf deals 114 and Shang's deal 110 for one bar. You get 4% more but you have to open your portal witch is obviously very risky. Plus it is as hard to dodge as shang's DBF 1 using one bar. Although that might change (and it kind of should).EDIT: It's been a while now and things kind of changed. So I still think that Quan chi is very different from Shang Tsung so I was right about that (correct me if I'm wrong). But now after playing Quan for a while I realized that if you play against a good player and you don't know his mix ups you are cooked. So if you don't know Quan has a very good mix up that he does by pressing 4133 wich hits overhead twice but you can do 412 wich is a low but very easy to react and then he can do 41 and cancel into DB 3 if I remember correctly basically the tentacle thing that hits overhead low. So yea..he has good zoning antizoning and mix ups. But I found that his damage is good if you spend all of your materials. And I tried so hard to find meaterless kombos or with no cameo. I ended up searching on yt and found a cool combo with scorpion that opens a portal mid combo but I found that the ender was not optimal and I changed it for 399 DMG but I learned a better but harder kombo for 41 one bar 2 cameos. So yea shang works better for me. Plus I love stealing the other person's fighter and dealing more DMG. I mean with Liu you can do 69 DMG in the corner one cameo.

[@olofacosta3192]

Exactly. Dunno what he was talking about with quan being better than shang at everything. Arguably shang might be better lol

[@louis550]

I agree he feels like a weaker version of Shang but his stand 4 in neutral is very scary for other zoners, I was playing against a Kiana and the moment I saw her wind up a fan I did stand 4 into Sareena it combos from a shockingly far distance.

[@olofacosta3192]

@louis550 it's alright but in most scenarios you'll be full screen against other zoner and from that distance sareena doesn't combo. Other zoners also have other ways to counter you aswell. Kitana can throw enhanced fan toss which will stall you enough for to win the zone battle. Shang Tsung can launch full screen,especially if he reads you summoning the portal and finally Liu Kang's projectiles are just lightning fast

[@Lance.Gardenhire]

There are a lot of very easy ways to get the portal out. For one, you could use his bone cage, but that is the weakest of the options I found. Second, you could use frost or Sub-0 and freeze them. The last and best I found is using Cyrax. His net drains meter now and keeps you trapped for like 5 seconds. You can throw the net on them, open the portal, and then start a combo and they just have to take it. Also, we don't fully know how good his damage is yet. People thought Omni Man didn't have that great damage, but like 5 days later we found out he hit like a truck.

[@lordimax399]

​@Lance.Gardenhire the thing with omni man is u can get 30+ damage off any basic hit but with Quan u need certain hits,an expensive 2 bar launcher or a kameo and it's still lower than most. Even with sareena the most I've seen without fatal blow is 40 and his normals are pretty slow and the overhead fb is also slow. Shang can just go old ex fireball and get 30% from full screen also disregarding giant skull.its just my 1st impression after using him against a friend though

[@ardidsonriente2223]

First character in MK1 that calls my interest. I was really done with the game already, but his fightstyle looks just fantastic. Super tricky and creative, love it.

[@matthewsuarez6874]

Not gonna lie I came back from leaving the game SOLEY FOR QUAN CHI AND IT IS WORTH IT ! great character and forces you to have to be a good blocker and master mixer for maximum effect 💯

[@Vibelounge_]

He ight very interesting for sure they want to make sure he is a zoner that’s why his big damage cost so much bar I can dig it

[@bonedadii]

Rich Homie Quan Saibot

[@coldsixthousand1]

You must be smoking crack. I don't see how he is better than Shang Tsung. He is at best on par with him, but honestly it looks like Shang is much better because he gets way more damage for no meter and no kameo required. He also has more mids. He even has more health, for some weird reason NRS gave Quan Chi the lowest health along with Nitara when neither character is that good. The only thing Quan has is more overheads and mix ups. That's good, but not enough to say that's he immediately better than Shang.

[@imdikonps4396]

What's the H word seriously

[@Dr_El_Stauncho]

Quan Chi's the best

[@jaidora]

There’s one thing you missed about the enhanced purple skull, if you hold the square button (1) the opponent is instead dropped where they got hit instead of dropped in front of Quan Chi. That mean you can effectively zone out the opponent and drop them where they were without approaching

[@Lance.Gardenhire]

I feel like he'd be absolutely horrifying with Cyrax because of the patch. If he gets that net on you, he gets a freep portal summon, and then he could start combos up again with you being unable to block or combo break.

[@imdikonps4396]

I think he's also the only character that can make use of Cyrax is bomb when Cyrax runs in front of you since quanchi can kick you in the back maybe some teleporters but I always was like what good is this cameo but it can work with Quan chi

[@imdikonps4396]

The only problem she really has I mean he struggles a little on neutral well he's not bad on neutral but his pokes are not good and once you're in on his ass you really can't do s*** but get lucky my buddy plays can she and I feel like there's nothing I can do once can she is like a sweep away he can bat dash all his pokes maybe you know it's just rough can't she has a lot of bad matchups with high tier but his worst match is probably Kenshi the dude can run through fireballs so if you call portal he just f****** can run through it

[@mrb4783]

You got to love how he lets his summons do the fighting for him instead of doing it himself. He is basically a lazy fighter cause he lets summons do the work and it fits him.

[@Dr__Jackal]

Lot of weakness in close kombat unfortunately… poke of 9 frames it means that you will lose every poke battle even if you should be in advantage. I mean, if ur opponent poke, then you counter poke. The opponent will have the time to guard and then counter poke to hit you. It’s a non sense comparing to others characters. He should have a poke of 7 frames like others. Also is anti air is very bad. He is clearly a mi-long distance character but if you are in a close kombat vs limei or JC. It’s becoming really difficult. No poke game

All of his projectiles are extremely slow!! Not to mention, he has to spend two bars for the enhanced tentacle grab, which is also extremely slow, and doesn't do much damage at all. Lets also talk about his field of bones move, which is also extremely slow, is barely on the screen long enough to even trap anyone in it, and you cant even combo the opponent if you do manage to trap them in it lol he also has the absolute slowest down 1 in the game, which is almost unusable against every other character in the game and hes not even a grappler smh. Cyrax's net holds the opponent for way longer and for waayyyyy less and it drains their meter. Plz do an updated video on "plz buff Quan Chi"

[@jaredrobinson7071]

Totally lost still, and I watch a lot of your videos.

[@frogsterlicous7040]

He's strong at range, he's better than Shang in that regard but Shang is better close despite the unsafe 50/50s Quan Chi has, Shang has the higher no bar combo damage and is the only character able to full combo you at range as a punish for a bar something Quan Chi gets if he punishes your projectile which is unlikely as its hyper slow and has the realm open. Also Shang can just shape shift into Quan Chi at range and he has harder hitting zoning if he spends the bar meaning in the match up he'll shread Quan Chi badly.

[@GoBlueHTB]

The idea that Quan is somehow stronger than zoners like Shang and Sindel is utterly ridiculous. This is total clickbait.
