Who has the strongest 50/50 in this game?

[STB Sgt Reed]

There was no formulation.

I play the absolute best players I can play and I have only run into two players that could do it - and they miss it more than they hit it.

I watch competitive gaming - and I've seen REO, Ketchup, and three others that have used Quan that could do it consistently. If you know of more, let me know.

My numbers were not meant to be scientific. They're meant to illustrate a point. When almost no one can do it, execution becomes a part of the equation - even at the game's highest levels.

Even if they can do it, they still have that hurdle which is very limited defensive options and absolutely no help on wake-up. Since Quan has yet to win a major, those obstacles have proven insurmountable thus far.

Quan Chi's design remains absolutely brilliant - IMO.

What most complain about almost no one can even do - and the character has been tempered with weaknesses to balance him out.

Quan won NWM.

Or is everyone still not counting that as a major? There's a scene there and it needs to be acknowledged.

I missed that one. Is it archived on YouTube?

 

[xKhaoTik]

Tell me, how many people do you know that can consistently do it?

That's not the point. You made up some bs number to back up your claim and now you're getting called out on it.

Really making you look bad

The nuance of the way I wrote it should have told you everything you needed to know. One tenth of one tenth of a percent; If I wanted it to appear to be scientific, I just would have written a number. I chose the illustration over direct clarity. Next time, you'll be able to see it.

There is no accurate statistic for who can do the Quan vortex available.

There are not a lot of people that can do it though.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Quan Chi
Raiden
Devorah

Idk. But it was the first major for MKX. Wonder Chef won it with quan.

 

[SLH7671]

She can combo off B332 in all variations, but in CO, she can only combo off MS 3 in the corner.

ohh, I was confused on which low we were talking about. Maybe I should have asked for clarification or I didn't read hard enough.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow safe 40% meterless 50/50's midscreen? I must be doing something wrong. Please teach me how to play this character.

No, "git gud" is the perfect way to say it.

 

[DreadKnight1]

what are johnnys 50/50s?

Forward throw or back throw duh...

Spoiler

On a serious note he doesn't have a true 50/50 unless you count the 113/11 f24 gimmick

How upstuck are you? Bitch.

 

[1man3letters]

Depends which variation your talking about

In Boneshaper it's fuzzyable and you can read duck punish throw

In Necro it's different because that trance last long so it's hard to tell when to fuzzy therefore defeating the fuzzygaurd purpose and his throw jails ,you have to guess a 16% throw.

damn it luke! we were so close!!!
you didnt get boneshapers name mixed up but then you went and dropped the fucking ball on impostor.

stop.

very. problem?

 

[juicepouch]

I voted for Goro

It's actually a 25/25/25/25

You have to guess which of these hands I'm bout to smack you with

 

[juicepouch]

How about Jason's b1 tight squeeze? You have to guess if he does b1 tight squeeze or b122 which takes away your armor, backdash, and jumping options and even if you guess right with a armored move, you get punished for guessing right if you are Erron Black, Ferra Torr, Kotal, Quan Chi, Predator, Tremor, Takeda Shirai Ryu, Takeda Lasher, and Kenshi. Even though characters like Kung Lao, Cassie, and Reptile can punish b122, Jason can OS by doing b12 bf3 which is -6 and has great pushback.

No kidding. I didn't know the mixup there was so strong, I learned something today. I still gotta practice my OS for b12 bf3

 

[Pterodactyl]

I don't think that Johnny Cage is a bad character right now, but i don't believe that his 50/50 game is better than his pressure game

I don't think anyone said that it was...

 

[Schuyler]

Quan chi suommoner
Sonya covert ops ( its a 50/50 into another fucking 50/50
Raiden. in the corner with his god like corner carry.
Ermac
cassie cage.
Erron black.

 

[getoverhere--->]

Basically almost everyone

There's just too many 50 50s imo, if you ''guess'' wrong in this game your just fucked

I don't mind Ermacs and Cassies too much since they get fucked if they make the wrong read

 

[GNG Iniquity]

That's just bad character design (having very little to no options against pressure but nearly unblockable vortex)

Hey, that's how he was in MK9... I played Quan Chi during MK9. That was horrible...incredibly linear and frankly bad mixups. The low followed by the mid doesn't work on good players...especially when they know his overhead option could not be hit confirmed into trance (yeah...they fucked Crunchy in MK9.) He had the rune trap but that was about it. Once he was knocked down...and pressured...it was over. Incredibly frustrating character to play. Comebacks with Quan were brutally difficult against most of the cast. You had to spend your meter to break because damn...getting knocked down KILLED HIM as he literally had no wakeup option that was remotely halfway decent.

Honestly, I felt Scorpion was the better of the two. Scorpion had to commit as well but at least it paid off incredibly well if you guessed right. My thoughts on Crunchy being top tier now? #HEFUCKINGNEEDSITANDDESERVESIT! #WOOLAYBITCHES

He won so what ? Game was new and no one knew how to block vs him , also it was before his bat nerf.

It matters cause dude said quan hasn't won anything, when... clearly... he has.

 

[xenogorgeous]

Cassie, having an overhead + low and another one as low + overhead strings that make hard to figure out all the time which of them she gonna use it
