Breakthrough - Sorcerer Armour Bug with Quan Chi: Sorceror

[PND_Ketchup]

Hey guys,

This video demonstrates the point of this thread, but I was wondering if something like this has happened to any others.

Quan Chi's Armour Spell is inconsistent. The armour will seemingly randomly not be given to Quan and he'll get hit by something without the armour ticking.

In the video, I re-summon the armour spell as fast as I can, on the third time round, the ice ball freezes me, even though i should have absorbed the hit.

One of multiple outcomes occur with this Armour spell:

1. The armour doesn't tick even though Quan's armour is yet to be used up.

2. Quan will seemingly tick the armour and flash yellow, but he will still get hit as if there was no armour.

3. Quan will get hit by the first attack with no armour, but the next hit will tick the armour. Getting hit by the first hit of a string, then the next hit ticks the armour, causing Quan to fall out of the combo as normal. Even though he shouldn't be in the combo in the first place.

Has this happened to anybody else?

Let's get to the bottom of this. I've been trying to find answers in Training Mode with no luck so far.

Any advice would be cool, it's been happening to me for too long and I wanna get it out the game asap!

That is really awkward, buff / Fix Quan.

I can't take this video seriously. It's a glitch video that isn't 8 minutes long.

welcome to part 1 of.......... quan chi`s armour does not work properly

 

[Pnut]

Excuse me sir .... you misspelled "Armor."

 

[Tokiwartoothxdk]

That third time seems like maybe the you were still in the startup frames, or maybe there is a timer for armor to appear for the first hit

 

[Braindead]

Check found this in 2011 and used it in a 90% reset combo.

 

[RiBBz22]

He also gets armor when he is WAY outside the spell area too so please fix that as well

@macro

Quan needs to be buffed. Give him a hit of armor on b324 and b2. He needs it.

I've experienced the third scenario you described plenty of times. It's happened in multiple situations such as, right after the armor circle is summoned, right after I lose the armor and step out and back into the circle, and jumping (even though the armor is suppose to follow you in the air).

The first has only happened once and it was from stepping out and back into the circle, so I feel it wasn't fully ready to regenerate.

The second has never happened to me

 

[RM AtK!]

iono if anyone else has seen the scenario when all of a sudden he has like 9 hits of armor (exaggerating more like 2-3 or something) randomly also..

It looks like the startup of the portal wasn't fully finished

I've had it happen opposite too where I got more armor than I should have:

Unless there's some reason that I don't know about for that to happen.

 

[Pnut]

Why does he still have armor when you combo him? Aquaman trait all over again. Character is dumb.

 

[Jdizzle31]

Excuse me sir .... you misspelled "Armor."

"Armor is the American spelling of the noun meaning a protective covering. Armour is the preferred spelling in all the other main varieties of English. Other than the spelling, there is no difference between the words."

That looked like his hotbox was outside the circle after taking the 2nd ARMOUR (@Pnut) tick, and some wonky mechanic regarding getting knockdown came into play.

 

[Phosferrax]

... that's the joke...

That was the joke.

I've had the opposite as well. I was playing @macro this morning and in the corner he got two hits of armor without leaving the portal.

 

[Phosferrax]

That's a gdlk response.

Trust me, I was well within the time limit to get that hit of armour. We even tested it immediately after to try again, Mustard threw an ice ball at me even earlier and my armour triggered.

The spell was very much active.

I've had that too, but I think it was an awkward situation where the game thought you were out of the portal, the next hit pushed you even closer into the portal suggesting the game simply gave you the added hit.

I think the area that's dictated whether or not you're in the spell is a bit shady, that would explain why you got two hits. You'll notice it especially if you're in the corner and the spell is slightly to one side, you're forever in that sweet spot where armour is always given. I'll get a video for you soon.

Poor quan he needs so much help.

 

[GAV]

Excuse me sir .... you misspelled "Armor."

Both ways are actually correct. 'Armour' is the proper spelling in Great Britain. 'Armor' is the proper way to spell it in the U.S.
