Question - Summoner Why Does Quan Chi Need This?

[TackyHaddock]

i really just want to understand what the rationale was for buffing quan at all in this patch. He was in many peoples' top five already, or top 10 at the very least

 

[Solignac]

I think they did it so charged b2 would actually be a move that quan players used. It's a cool fakeout that takes forever but is actually useful now with the juggle. Give it some time, I'm sure people will adapt and understand quickly to playing against it being used more often. You can make a sandwich and come back with that move still on startup.

 

[STRYKIE]

He doesn't.

It might've been cool if he used the Green hands in Warlock to do a 6 frame d1, but for all variations? NRS pls.

You know, I was thinking the same thing for a while, except he would poke you backwards through a portal or something.

Kinda too late now though, every time a new move has been added, it's been from an animation already in the game.

 

[DevilMaySpy]

Damn you cant read huh

You know what? I'm actually gonna do it right so there's no excuse.

And the OP has been updated.

This is the same company that buffed Martian Manhunter's overhead teleport. Who knows why they do half the shit they do.

To this day that buff still baffles me more than anything else they've done. Everyone and their mother thought it was gonna get nerfed.

You should have from the beginning)

Didn't they nerf Harley's trait in that same patch?

Or you should learn how to read. It was explained in the OP and my response to you. Now you have no excuse for remaining ignorant.

Funny part is, you can actually get some seriously solid damage that's pretty easy to do with an NJP, standing 4, whatever combo back into the reset after the overhead.

Shujankydank made a neat combo video.

Lol yea I think so, shazams too.

Right, NJP does do great damage. I just did something quick for the sake of demonstration. If I really put some time into this I'm sure I could find some jacked up combos, but that just goes to show how scary this is from a bare bones standpoint.

That Gap between the low bat then sword is fucking huge, this isn't that scary man

You mean the bat that you can send whenever you want? DMS was doing this just to show it can be converted to a trance hard to blockable setup. If done perfectly correct, you can do the overhead low at the damn near same time.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

It being 6000 start-up frames doesn't mean shit when he can throw a low bat 1F before or after the B2 hits. You can react to the overhead but you cannot react to the mix-up. Stop bein delusional people. Anyone who thinks Quan is not top 2 after this patch needs Jesus.
Sure he needed a good poke to handle pressure IN EXCHANGE of his near unblockable. But he has everything now.

 

[Blahblahblah]

Did the Kombat Kast explain the reasoning for buffing Quan?

Chill out! I was just pointing out that if you can't even show correctly the set up you were going to whine about why not just write about it without a video.

You need to stop upplaying. As we have already heard, this is useless. Quan won't be viable until his Tele starts up in 8 frames and launches for full combo.

 

[SylverRye]

Quan users forever downplaying lol

 

[getoverhere--->]

Quan Cheap

Zoning is weak in MKX

Pointing it out is one thing, but the WAY you pointed it out wasn't exactly the right way to go about it. You knew what the hell he was trying to convey.

 

[PetulantWaste]

So that kotal kahn can get a double buff from a 1 frame ex parry and punish for 50 percent

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Apparently, someone wants the old F34 in Hollywood back

 

[Paul the Octopus]

Lol these quan buffs remind me of the time NRS thought it was a good idea to buff Martian Manhunter's teleport.​

Nah man they glossed over it like it was no big deal.
