So I've taken a 3 month break from MKX, and I'm trying to get back into it. I've heard that QC is no longer a broken fucker, is that true?

Mid-Tier at best

Honestly I think tons of people know that MU now. So Quan has high dmg tools but people know the strings to punish and how to bully him to death. Still a great character though.

What do you guys do against takeda? I have such a difficult time with him. If he plays right it seems I never get a turn.Shirai ryu specifically. Tips?

Personally I just b2 for days. Also as I know takeda doesn't have very good anti airs, I J1 and it rarely gets beat. Zoning is hard because of Tele. I also think it is hard. Sorcerer makes it easier imo because of armour spell.

You basically have to understand that you will lose the neutral, so do whatever you can to force him towards the corner and keep him there.

As sorcerer, he is 1000% free to armour in the corner. So you need to be ready to NJP his air teles and catch him with something into trance. He gives you huge trouble when he knocks you down, so he's one of those characters you MUST setplay to death.

I'll show you SR Takeda if you want.

I've been trying warlock but even he seems to struggle against his reach

You were despised by many, loved by some, and only a few took the time to learn how to truly go to battle with you. Though you do not have much time left in this world, you may lay to rest knowing that while you may be gone, you will forever be remembered amongst our community.

I'm with Dink in that I'm not entirely sure how to fight Takeda. He seems very difficult to contain.

I'm never sure when its my turn. I know that Kunai is -2 on block, and he can crush pokes with NJP. It just feels like Takeda, especially in Shirai-Ryu, dictates the pace of the match and I have no idea how to regain control.

What variation do you all feel is best vs him?

So F4D4 says it's cancelable... I can't get it to cancel and I can't find any reason to push these buttons. Any Quan father find a use for it?

Old MKX Quan Chi, this song is for you from the bottom of my heart

I'll bring him back. Quanlings be dropping like flies in KP2.

 

[Evil Sorcerer]

Low bat being made a mid and toning down his damage would've been a million times better than what they did to him....taking out the hard-to-blockables was what everybody was asking for (which I understand), then they give them to CSZ. I'm sticking with Quan, just switching to Warlock, I love the character too much to drop him.

 

[macro]

Um guys I'm still here lol

So what has changed with Quan exactly? My friend plays Quan and we are gonna fight tomorrow and I wanna know what to do differently. Thanks in advance guys

poke after a quick MBrune up close.
and be aware that it can be delayed for longer than it could be before

Is that all? If I didn't know any better I would say some are making it sound like vortex isn't so good anymore.

 

[ENDeverMORE]

I don't know how plus the delayed rune is on block, so it might not be a guaranteed oh/low mix up any more, but it's still plus, and the more it's delayed the more plus.
but not delay makes it -1 (I think)

He's more of a zoning character now but he can still spend a bar of meter and get the same set ups as before. The recovery of special moves on hit has changed too so he'll probably be dropping combos too

There any Summoner mains left in here?

Not a main sadly. Have been working on cyber sub but then he got crippled too

I main all variations of Quan. Look for Shujinkydink for the Quan Father!

Thinking of making the switch back to Summoner. I used to main him before CSZ came out but now he's been anally mauled I'm feeling some more Quan action.

Have any serious Summoner advancements been made since the nerfs? In terms of setups, damage or just anything in the neutral? Just curious where the character is right now.

Nope nothing that I can think of
