This Quan Chi Tech Could Be GAME CHANGING In MK1

[@PNDKM]

Would have explored this stuff earlier but was in Brazil last week and traveling home this week. Enjoy!

[@SidneyMosley]

Please let us get a competitive history of *Liu Kang!*

[@udEzito]

As a Brazilian, i am curious about one thing... how was your experience here? You liked, you disliked? What you thought?

[@ChuckPickle]

This was really interesting, I wish you would add a couple matches at the end of the video so we could truly see it in action. Thx for the great content as always!

[@PhysicalToast]

Hope you enjoyed Brazil 🇧🇷

[@kaiserbts8007]

It feels like he went from low tier to upper mid tier with one single move

[@jimdino77]

This is a great change for Quan. He feels like he should always be a cheap character, so he deserves dirty tricks like this. Pairing him with Sub makes sense lore wise too.

[@GoB1996]

I always paired him with scorpion because isn’t there a timeline where Hanzo went to Quan Chi to get those powers of the netherrealm after “sub-zero” kills his family and clan?

[@ChompBot]

Quan Chi being ignored in mk1 is so unfair. He's the most interesting he's been in a long time

[@seba-nw3qz]

He is the first nrs zoner I actually enjoy. Its not just move back and shoot, he has a lot of cool and useful tools now

[@unr34L-]

@@seba-nw3qzFreddy was super fun in mk9

[@Maximon808]

Everyone’s stuck on peacemaker that’s why quan chi goes under the radar

[@downer9099]

Maybe. But he's just not good

[@darkknight_8891]

He's been my main since dropping!😊

[@Burtyburtburt8]

Sektors flamethrower restand is so plus on hut that u can launch them then restand them w the flamethrower and use the hit stun to guarantee the bone cage. So much fun in the corner

[@MicroMakesMusic]

isn’t bone cage kind of wasted in the corner though?

[@Burtyburtburt8]

@@MicroMakesMusic once I get to the corner, u don't even have to use bone cage unless u want a way to safely set up zone of waste. Otherwise u can just reatand w flame thrower and go to pressuring

[@FAM0US-M0NSTERS-]

This is great tech. I've been playing Quan since MK4 and been struggling with him in this game. I'll give it a go. Thanks bro

[@SidneyMosley]

Here to once again ask for the competitive history of Liu Kang!

[@Harvey_Mod]

Me too

[@llsymbiotell]

12:16 bro quan brought back breakaway with this setup 😂

[@thelastmuchacho6524]

Having live clips for examples was much appreciated and pretty cool

[@snoogcity]

Glad i stuck with him . Love his gameplay

[@Cali-chef]

I’ve had quite of few rage quits from the armor portal. End everything in f4,portal. Smoke seems to get out of it pretty easily. Tough match up.

[@IC2I]

For Smoke, I love doing the push away portal and moving it behind Quan which denies their teleports. Most Smokes still teleport and I get a free punish. Match-up is still awful though

[@JoshuaJonesTheKpoppingPanda]

Very happy to see positivity toward the game in this channel's comments. Focusing on characters, gameplay, and having fun with no biases or precognition rants.

[@nabilahmed579]

Bcoz they have actual experience about how an fighting game to its core mechanics and go in-depth while being casual. If anything, they probs deserve it for having positive comment instead of people bombarding them since most of mk fans are mainly casual and don’t look in deep into issues

[@captainnavigator6534]

Honestly, this new move is super sick. I can't think of another fighting game character that can cover gaps in their blocks things with armor, closest thing would be trap characters setting up their traps to go off when the opponent is likely to press a button.

[@unLuckyFetus]

15:50 This shitz gonna have people rippin Ethernet cables out of the fkn walls 😂 ggs Ketch

[@coleridgekinsler]

Quan Chi has been my main in KL, but he’s felt pretty inconsistent since I got to iv or v. It seems like once your opponent knows what they’re doing, you’re just too reliant on 50/50s. Insanely excited to play some KL with these changes.

[@MckaiserDragon]

im a quan chi main and i was shocked that he got some new stuff. imma have to start practicing this game again. thx for the great video!

[@bbyboybrzy]

Ketchup I miss your gameplay videos! I like these videos as well but watching this gives me MKX gameplay nostalgia

[@BIGWH1FF]

Normal Zone of Waste lasts for 3 seconds, and it takes 2 for the armor to kick in. Ex Zone of Waste sticks around for 10 seconds, and every 3 seconds he gets the armor, for a total of three hits. I wish Quan got better buttons but these setups just show that the character isn't dead. Just gotta think a little harder

[@RealRell1013]

Yeah you gotta use your brain with Quan. No brain dead character here

[@BIGWH1FF]

@@RealRell1013 it's really fun. I've started using Sub for the cage setups but I was having a lot of success with Sareena. You can pretty much drain an entire bar of meter if you do Jataaka's Curse during either his tentacle or his skydrop, and people love to try and press after b3,4 but they never expect the single dagger to come out

[@lilcabinet1955]

I love the Quan chi content

[@Burtyburtburt8]

Ive been rocking, Quan sareena, lao, frost, and tremor. People are sleeping on crystalline armor bro

[@lonewolfxdash4738]

Any tips for tremor?

[@Burtyburtburt8]

@@lonewolfxdash4738 don't be afraid to activate crystalline armor, then do unsafe stuff w whatever character your running, bc the enemy can't punish u correctly. If they hit u, they can't kock u down, meaning they may try to extend in to something that will get them in trouble since u won't get knocked down. U will recover in a few frames, and can sometimes punish someone. raidens df2 combo extender can be punished immediately for example, since u don't get knocked down

[@CptLightstreak]

armor coming in during a combo like the breakaway mechanic in mk11

[@ScarsUnseen24]

14:10 also a fantastic reason to use Cyrax :)

[@Letlove021]

Damn scorpion should have been introduced as a dlc character then he’d be useful and good

[@Forever.Remain.Nameless]

Subzero too 🤨

[@joylessgaming]

Looks like the opponent still gains meter while waste is active, I think they should implement the same change they did with Sareena so that they can't gain meter while it's being drained. Granted it still works to disable breaker but it drains so little, I guess they really want it to be about the armour.

[@angelsilva7207]

Can you do a Shujinko Competitive History?

[@nicholasjones5034]

Thx for this. I’ve been playing Quan Chi/Scorpion and can kinda do the same but this with subzero looks ridiculous! Awesome content thanks for the tech!

[@CompadeGD]

seeing roether playing jax and getting insane setups makes me think this setup could work well. obviously not off of everything like the 214 but i bet the same theory applies. im gonna have to lab it later

[@RoyArkon]

Amazing stuff once again dude. That tech is really nasty AF

[@wumpmas2]

i'd be very interested in looking into trying to find framekills to help time zone of waste/ bone cage offence to best abuse the armor without having to be as precise. regardless, the potential seems incredible, can't wait to see what comes of it

[@kmartpunk95]

QUIAMA HAS RISEN

[@zenyattafgc]

Great job calling in Brazil. #bonehawks

[@lipstickzombie4981]

Part of me still missed the glowing skull and accessories he had in MKX though. I miss the glowing hands on his back.

[@michaelcolbourn6719]

If you're able to ge purple spell up too get a full combo one bar with ex skull from the overhead normal, or use two bars and go for the low.

[@Lara.amn79]

Sad thing is that his purple skull doesnt connect to any of his strings except for 12

[@michaelcolbourn6719]

@@Lara.amn79 that's annoying...

[@Lara.amn79]

@@michaelcolbourn6719 subzero kaneo freaze provides enough time to open to portal and still Continue with his combos If only he could connect his overhead into ex skull that would be better damage and less meter spend،its honestly such a waste

I've been doing 12 sub freeze ex df1 but move it till its just touching you're opponent to waste time b342 1.3 f4 db1 then you are still safe and with 2 portals on screen

[@keo_bas]

I'm was so on the fence of picking up MK1 since I I wasn't sure who I would play. I tend to play keep away to defensive power house characters and no one in cast looked like they fit the bill. ( Was looking at Tanya, habit, and maybe kitana) But Quan hi is looking like he can fit the bill

[@АлександарРајић]

I was waiting on this video, ever since they released Peacemaker

[@hanitschi]

it's a bit of a bummer that they mapped moving the zones to 3, we've got stance change quasi-unused and utilising the button is pretty clunky. same goes for shang's morph

[@joylessgaming]

You can move the zone while blocking, so if they used stance flip you could get accidental fatal blow.

[@hanitschi]

@@joylessgaming oh, good point

[@williamcalhoun883]

I loved these changes for Quan. Would buffing his defensive options be better for him? Maybe, but I really love the style of getting insanely rewarded for a single hit, even if I'm insanely punished for getting hit.

[@GeneralCba]

Ayyy, get to compare to what ive found. Remember sharing tech back in mkx days lmaoooo. Lets go Quan

[@ryanrowe1975]

Really cool

None of this is good until he has buttons. Giving him a new portal has only taken away how many times you can do his most viable strat

[@Abyssal_CToFaV]

12:38 Why are you showing us a clip of Quan Chi repeatedly whiffing his attacks?

[@FlyShuttleSpecialty]

I wonder if added moves will be special moves only or like strings or something. This game screams NJPs

[@GodlikeOCD]

.... I can't get past the intro.. the update broke my steam copy.. that tech is too strong

[@Lara.amn79]

8:39 Ngl this situation Quan can put on his apponent is op just like mkx Quan،but unlike mkx Quan،its takes alot of recourses،but the big issue is that both his mixups and the damage he gets from it is really bad His 27 frames overhead doesn't help plus he gets only 28 percent with overhead into subzero kameo If sub kameo isnt availble he has to spend 2 bars to get a combo with that slow overhead and the damage is still very low He feels like so much effort for not so much reward Heres my fix to this problem They should buff his ex skull to be as fast as nornal skull and buff his overhead to be 18 or 20 frames،with this change he can have way better mixups and the ex skull cancel into his overhead allows a little more damage with fewer recources

[@SidneyMosley]

I swear there's gonna be a day when Ketchup and/or Mustard are finally gonna do the competitive history of Liu Kang and point out all of my comments asking for it 😤

[@peakay5769]

I just hate how Scorpion and Sub Zero were basically unchanged this patch

[@shaynehughes6645]

I wish developers would stop waiting until after multiple patches before giving characters moves that were likely intended to have day one in order to artificially extend the life of a game with an "expanding meta."

[@RaidenWithBiden]

Runetrap 2.0?

[@PNDKM]

Not at all, rune trap was based on the chip damage from a move he doesn't have in MK1

[@zalybrainlessgenius503]

Sometimes I think the reason why Quan is so trash is because they knew a lot of fans don't like Quan lore-wise, so they made him weak to support the meme..... Which would be fine, IF HE WASN'T A PAID DLC 🙃 Don't make me pay for trash

[@gamedragonify]

Can't wait for this to be patched out in a week ❤

[@powellpatrick7377]

I like the zone of waste, but i feel its not just it yet. It's giving jack of all trades... Are you a metre stealer, or an armor portal? By trying to be both, it failed to be either one. Frankly, i feel they should have made the zone of power-enhanced moves steal metre, while the zone of waste should have been exactly like MKX Quan's armor portal.

[@daysj1]

Looks cool but should cost two meters

[@mcconvillert]

So all quans specials take two bars. No thanks
