Messing with summoner and have a few things to add as far as combo, pressure, 50/50.
@PND_Ketchup nice vid btw, I don't have the game so I can't do such wonderful things lol.
So far it has been most effective to me to summon after hitting a trance. This goes directly into 50/50 with his high or low starter that you can easily confirm into combo OR block string to make yourself safe. Although the dummy will not block your "combo" after you trance summon, a live player can hold block. So treat this method as more of a reset. What summoner offers is safe pressure and mixup without having to spend meter until they block correctly.
Example F2122 run 14 Trance Summon.
At this point you can do quite a few things to hurt the opponent.
1. If they do not have meter then do B2 Skyfall + Low bat. It is a very hard to blockable and the only successful solution I have seen so far is Armor through or breaker. Catches back dash etc. However the success does not lead back into summon. The next 4 options do on hits.
2. If the do have meter then just go for low starter or overhead and delay the puggles mid attack for safety or hitconfirm. If they are cornered use the B3+4 for more stable hit and higher combo potential.
3. Throw. Always good to mix in throw to re position.
4. 4 kick. If they are mashing on throw this gives you a huge plus on hit and lets you layer on more mixups.
5. F212 Hit confirm or safe block string. You also reserve Puggles for one more string or mixup.
6. B2 Puggles Throw is a decent frame trap and cannot be thrown if you just want to throw in something random but I do not like the option much.
Things to know about Puggles and Neutral.
1. You can resummon as soon as it explodes for easier reload.
2. All attacks except Command throw can be done at any time while not blocking.
3. If he is out you can uppercut anti -air, 3+4, ex Trance to loop back to summon or go for damage.
4. He gets very little from meterburn inside combos, using rune burns are the only way Quan Chi can get in and remain safe.
5. Neutral jump Punch is as godlike as his D2.
Not much new stuff but I hope it helps someone that play him. *sorry its late so I had to watch the vid without audio*
