Not winning tournaments is not an argument for "Top Tier", when SF4 came out. No one was winning tournaments with Sagat even though he was considered to be top tier by both japanese and americans. Evil ryu right now is considered to be #1 but we have not seen any evil ryu winning for the last 6 months in any international majors unless in a counter pick. Top 8 in majors prove that the player does really well that day and/or that the character is viable and/or you're too godlike and competition is low

Summoner with 3 bars recap: I have a quarter, so everyone guess heads or tails.
I flip once. ( guess ) if you guessed heads your dead, bye.
I flip again. ( guess ) if you guessed heads your dead, bye.
I flip again. ( guess ) if you guesses tails your dead, bye.
I flip again. ( guess ) if you guessed heads your dead, bye.
BTW I now almost have another quarter. So how many people won the game?
I lost horribly. Dont forget the damn near unblockable which your deffintly not blocking if your not ready for it.

That's a massive exaggeration and you know it. Shinnok can cancel his low into hellsparks to stay plus and make you guess again. I agree Quan is better but Shinnok, in Impostor, has his fair share of dirt on Quan which makes it a 5-5 imo.
I don't think it's an exaggeration. Impostor Shinnok hits you and his vortex ends after one loop depending on the special he steals. Boneshaper has a fuzzy-able mix up, with the OH option being unsafe and the throw ending the vortex, low option ending in hell sparks giving him another mix up as you said. This always seemed manageable, in all my MU experience against him he never seemed "broken." There's a fair chance to block Shinnok's mix ups.

Quan can do the same things, with important differences. In any variation, Quan can loop his vortex with no limitation to trance, unlike Impostor. The mix up following is unreactable, a true guess, again unlike Shinnok. Also, when Quan spends a bar, he's so much more advantage. Then there's the obvious; once Summoner Quan has you, the likelihood of blocking the bat/ OH is so slim that the smart money is on the round being over, every time. That's just scratching the surface.

Maybe new tech will come out, making bat easier to block though. Not crying for nerfs, just stating the obvious (?) differences.

Posts like this are why we can't have nice things here anymore.
I don't usually respond to your poor quality baiting Infra, but since this one is about Jagged and not me, I'll give you a single response this time. Only someone like you would agree with flaming the shit out of a nice guy just because you think you are a better poster than him. FYI you aren't. Either of you. 30,000 posts of mostly trash between the two of you, I'd genuinely rather sit through Jagged's 2000 posts, 15 times over.
 
I actually think that quan has great mix ups and zoning... but when he gets knocked down he literally gets destroyed. you have to play 100% perfect. make not mistakes or you lose. doesn't sound like a top tier character to me...

That's simply not true. While he can put you in an unblockable vortex that literally the only way out is 1 frame block link that he can ADJUST THE TIMING OF (lol GL getting that) it's extremely likely that you have to play 100% perfect against Quan, because he even has amazing ways to kill you even without using that.

On the flip side of the coin - name a character that actually immediately beats Quan off a single touch?


What you said applies more to playing against Quan than it does to playing as him.
