Could someone link to the official forum thread?
Some buddies and I have been having desyncs every single time I use a Quan Chi combo. We've since barred that combo from the game....... It isn't every kombo that uses two buttons - back A, X+Y (low kick to double fisted overhead) works 100% of the time without issue.
Some of my notations might be off below, so I'll write a description in (). Between the game having Tao Feng controls (wtf is a backpunch?), the controls not being traditional kicks-on-the-right and having to remap.... I don't know which button is which anymore.
The combo is (Xbox, normal button config) f+X, Y, X+Y. It *usually* works fine on the ground, although it sometimes disconnects. When it desyncs, the screen freezes on the frame where Quan Chi is stuffing the skull into their belly right before they kind of "fall" on to his shoulder. Estimates are in bold.
(Anything) into Zombie Walk to back Y, X (slap, uppercut), f+X, Y, X+Y (skullybelly desync).
Desyncs 90% of the time in 1on1, 100% in King of the Hill
Back Y, X (slap uppercut), f+X, Y, X+Y (skullybelly)
Desyncs 75% of the time in 1on1, 90% in King of the Hill
Zombie walk/nothing to Neutral jump punch, f+X, Y, X+Y (skullybelly)
Desyncs 75% of the time in 1on1, about the same in King of the Hill
Here's some more information:
SFIV TE Stick
Buttons remapped (Y and B are block and throw)
The desyncs always happen in King of the Hill
The desyncs sometimes happen in Private 1 on 1
Also, I wanted to ask about/complain about the "I don't have to press a button" kombos. If you want to direct me to a better place - please do. A basic description of this infuriating thing is Ermac - try to jump kick, teleport. You'll air-fireball without having to push a button.
Weird one with Noob -
Press block, then down, up (ex teleport, supposed to be down, up, block) The block animation will start, then he'll teleport.
Here are a few with Quan Chi -
Back+A, Forward (low kick to Zombie walk)
Back+A, X+Y+A, Forward (low kick, overhead, zombiewalk, very fast input)
X, X, 214 (two punches, skull fireball)
These are infuriating. If I want to Back + A, then dash in to throw... nope, zombie walk comes out.
If I do an X, X against a blocking opponent and want to dash backward and crouch block.... nope, the Disco move comes out.
Crouch block to Back + A (guard a sweep, punish with my own low turns into a teleport somehow???)
Infuriating controls.
Oh, I almost forgot.
PS -
I emailed a description of the Zombie Walk, Slap Uppercut, Skully Belly to Netherrealm a while ago before I found this thread.
