Can we also appreciate that the voice actor is clearly having a blast with each line? He’s right up there with his bro Shang Tsung in knowing that he’s a smarmy evil sorcerer bastard and loving every second of it.
I like how he's not like the old Quan Chi voice who sounded very uppity and high-and-mighty. Instead he just sounds like a crazy ass Power Rangers villain and I love it
I always enjoy long range characters who can combo from long range. Just projectile spamming gets boring, but doing a full screen combo activates my neurons.
Them adding the intros to offline play is by far the biggest change of this patch. I never play online and was desperately missing them. So when I hopped on and saw them I legit smiled, becuase I had never heard a single interaction
It feels like they finally got Quan Chi done right! Not only does his fighting style look like an evil variant of Doctor Strange, he actually has a pretty cool outfit now. Max said years ago when they were rating the MKX outfits that Quan Chi essentially needed a redesign for his look, and thank god NRS listened.
Definitely not one of the best but definitely not the worst. I will say he’s a very good character to play but complex to understand what to use in each circumstance. Most of his strings are great at commanding different spaces on the screen.
i was very much like mad where ive never really liked him in any respect, but this dlc has made him one of my favorites gameplay wise. i was completely taken aback
@@DonYoGi8331Really? I feel like this would all been possible since PS4. Maybe even PS3 but they just didn't think of it at the time. Obviously not to this degree but the summoning lovecraftian beings stuff might have been possible.
@@Jaaayminajestry Armageddon really wasn't a good game tho, the create-a-fatality ruined it. MK9 was good but even in that one I just couldn't use every character. MK1 it's like I was pulled to learn every single character. I enjoy it that much despite the crap people talk about it. The game only gets better with each update.
I know this video is primarily about Quan Chi, and by gum are his combos just wild even to watch (let alone pull off), but can we just give props to the banter from Ashrah at 11:24? Such a good line!
he always looked pretty lame and he was the next big bad after shang sung which was kind of a huge disappointment, but granted I like him but like the same way you'd like a dark elf its lame asf but kinda cool
@@VYNYL_MusicNot sure they didn't do it for the dlc characters in MkX, like Tanya's design wasn't even finished in the story mode in mkX. But who knows if they're able to and have the budget for it, they might. I would imagine that would be hard to do.
@@BuddyDragon18 it wasn't that Tanya's design in MKX storymode was unfinished, it was that the fans demanded she looks more like PS2 era Tanya after her reveal in the DLC trailer so they gave her the white eyes and fixed up her facial model a bit
Something I love about MK1 is how they designed the zoners. In the past NRS made zoners have horrible buttons with little to no combos but in this game zoners don’t just have to be zoners, they can combo and do flashy stuff, granted not as well and other characters but the option being there is very nice 🔥
Feel like every fighter should have the same health. Or the very minimum is show their base health when character selecting then show how much health Kameos add when selecting those.
Just when I think I covered all the bases of Quan Chi, that intro just opened up a hell of a lot of opportunities wtf 😂 easily the most cracked he’s ever been
I use him with Sub Zero so much help 1) the extra health is much needed, it's only 5% but still it helps so damn much, unlike Nitara, Quan has no way to regain health so 900 health is a major blow to Quan's survivability 2) the changes to Cold Shoulder make it even better. It was already a frame 1 invincible get up attack but now it is a lightning quick as well, ain't no blocking this thing as Quan desperately needs a close range move to help him stay safe and push people out since his crouching poke are garbage. 3) Ice armor makes him just all around better at long range 4) His freeze allows for more set ups for his portal or bone prison for better keep away. Jax is another alternative, just gives more health and energy wave gets people off of Quan
Holy crap they added intros to towers? I can finally see them. All I play is online/invasions so I've never seen these characters interact outside story mode since they were locked behind local VS. That is awesome even if mist people won't give a shit.
They should make the tentacle grab one bar but only allow for it once in a combo, second time it drops. It’s so expensive for a character that already struggles with damage.
Watching this just makes me yearn for a magic the gathering, mortal Kombat cross over Imagine how cool it would be to have Quan Chi and Shang Tsung as magic cards Quan Chi (W,U,B) Shang Tsung (U,B,R) They could be partner commanders You could have a commander pre-con deck called the deadly alliance! WB, WoTC. If you see this. Please make it happen I need it
2 bars for the tentacle launcher is way too expensive. I know quan has alot already but no else has to spend that kind of bar for a enhanced special like that as far as I know
@@awesometaco8001 That makes sense. All quan gets a pop up when he already has other more practical ways to extend combos. Just dont think it's worth 2 bars imo
YO THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON CHALLENGE 7!! That's wild I thought I mistimed it but it just gave it to me because it cancelled but it seems like theres some kind of bug going on.
Hanzo/Scorpion would also be a lore accurate kameo, at least with regards to MK9 and Mythologies. Quan was playing Hanzo like a fiddle for so long.... He never really figures it out until some point during the events of MK4/MKX; in both cases, it is Kuai Liang who reveals the truth.
@@TECC73 completely understandable man, honestly I'd look into a snack box then as they are known to be a lot better for your hands or wrist, and or if possible a smaller or larger controller could also help, I prefer a larger controller so my fingers dont cramp up personally
Bro nothing's disappointing about him. What are you talking about? His fatal blow is awesome, just cause it doesn't have the creature in it doesn't make it bad like how do you people judge stuff lol.
Idk why they bet so much on this creature and it’s not in a fatality either. His second one is like the sword fatality but worse. He has no controls moves this game anyway so why even do that. A perfect one is he traps them in the bone cage and that thing eats them. Also yea his fatal blow is whatever just having him punch someone in the gut for an ender is stupid.
@@mrthanos8140 They didn't bet so much on the creature at all, he has plenty attacks where he doesn't use the thing and his whole thing is he's a dark mage. He has a vast array of magical abilities, honestly you people are the only ones betting so much on the creature with all this bitching about it not being in a fatality of his. His second fatality is awesome, it isn't "like the sword fatality but worse" in the slightest lmao. His fatal blow is also awesome, he shoots skulls that knock you into a portal which teleports you above him to fall and get punched. He doesn't even punch you in the gut genius. He punches you in the back breaking your spine.
His design is great but after trying his trials i just cant with the combo structure of this game, combos like trial 6 just feel awful and not fun or natural at all, kameos seemed fun at first but theyre just tedious and unnatural to figure out and actually do in a match
After playing tekken 8 , MK1 gameplay just feels so gimmicky and slow. I pray Netherrelm comes back with a banger after this bore of a game. Such a shame because they have been killing it since MK9.
Doesnt matter if ur Johnny Cage, having 900hp AND 9f d1 thats -10 is abysmal hes fundamentally on the lower end of the spectrum help my boi out on official release Lord Paulo
Why does quan chi has one skin in this game. Mk 11 has so many customisation for dlc characters but in mk1, there's nothing. Someone has to call out Ed boon for his bs. Who is really developing this game wb or nrs. We need an explanation.
Sorry about the low energy,, SICK AGAIN! Quan is easily one of the most unique fighting game characters, but seems to really focus on long range.
U don't have to apologize. We're just happy u showed up. Get well soon, Dood family 👪🏻!! 🙏🏿🫡
Take care of yourself and your family Max, no need to apologize!
Didn’t seem low to me Max! Any content is good content from you!
hes nether realms take on gargos
Luv u. U literally did the same combos as me
Can we also appreciate that the voice actor is clearly having a blast with each line? He’s right up there with his bro Shang Tsung in knowing that he’s a smarmy evil sorcerer bastard and loving every second of it.
Agreed. But also some lines sound like a completely different voice actor from story, is it just me?
I like how he's not like the old Quan Chi voice who sounded very uppity and high-and-mighty. Instead he just sounds like a crazy ass Power Rangers villain and I love it
I always enjoy long range characters who can combo from long range. Just projectile spamming gets boring, but doing a full screen combo activates my neurons.
This on every level
I feel that! It’s why I loved playing Dormammu and Glacius tbh
Them adding the intros to offline play is by far the biggest change of this patch. I never play online and was desperately missing them. So when I hopped on and saw them I legit smiled, becuase I had never heard a single interaction

Max said years ago when they were rating the MKX outfits that Quan Chi essentially needed a redesign for his look, and thank god NRS listened.
He did not get a redesign. He looks very similar
wouldn't personally say redesign but his new outfit and look looks a lot better
It’s hard to tell whether he’s one of the best or the worst, he’s so polarizing for me lmao. Still one of the most fun characters in the game
He’s both. Which makes him mid? He’s fun to play
He's got a lot of options, but in a way that feels like he has to set up to pop off or else he's getting punished by a desperate panicked wiff.
Definitely not one of the best but definitely not the worst. I will say he’s a very good character to play but complex to understand what to use in each circumstance. Most of his strings are great at commanding different spaces on the screen.
Up close not great, full screen one of the best . He’s set up to be a zoner for sure but in a way that’s fun unlike a cetrion or someone similar .
Having way more fun playing Quan Chi in this game than all other MKs combined
i was very much like mad where ive never really liked him in any respect, but this dlc has made him one of my favorites gameplay wise. i was completely taken aback
He was limited by technology in past games.
@@DonYoGi8331Really? I feel like this would all been possible since PS4. Maybe even PS3 but they just didn't think of it at the time. Obviously not to this degree but the summoning lovecraftian beings stuff might have been possible.

This is the 1st MK I actually care to learn every character on the roster.

Never understand the hate on him. Sure, the lore. But honestly just a cool evil character, always loved him and super stoked he is here!
he always looked pretty lame and he was the next big bad after shang sung which was kind of a huge disappointment, but granted I like him but like the same way you'd like a dark elf its lame asf but kinda cool
"Mom, I want Noob Saibot's portals!"
"We have Noob Saibot portals at home"
They've made his gameplay so cool. Design wise he's always been super weird to me but he looks dope to actually play.
I’m stuck like chuck on combos 6 & 7. Thems shits bee hards AF 😂😂
bro, I had no idea they added intros to the towers until you found out. getting on now
I wonder if NRS will add Quan Chi‘s moveset to storymode as well
That’s a good question honestly, considering he’s in the game now, he should have the updated move set now, right?

hes gargos essentially at least aesthetically

He sure is crazy.
His portals remind me of those Wonka Nerds candies btw
You apologizing for being sick, but the only thing sick are your vids max!
I’ve played 2 Quan chis
Beat one easily and got literally stomped to death with his brutality by one who knew how to portal combo me.
much more interesting this time around!
Serena and Quan Chi works really well together. The damage is insane.
The waka waka skull is enough for me.
They should make the tentacle grab one bar but only allow for it once in a combo, second time it drops. It’s so expensive for a character that already struggles with damage.
Hell yeah more purple nurple magic!
Its 2 bars for the low cse Quanchi has allot of overheads.. Lets not forget kameos here too if you dont want to use that 2 bar low
I'm really enjoying Quan Chi. I think he's the best in MK1 than he's been in any previous MK game before
Quan Chi is definitely one of the fighting game characters of all time
Max you the king much love
They should make all Nitaras people talk like Megan Fox I think that be hilarious lore LOL
Watching this just makes me yearn for a magic the gathering, mortal Kombat cross over
Imagine how cool it would be to have Quan Chi and Shang Tsung as magic cards
Quan Chi (W,U,B) Shang Tsung (U,B,R)

reikos grab
Bi Han's amp'd Ice Clone used to be a mandatory two bars prior to the changes made as part of Quan Chi's release.
Johnnys nut punch ex is two bars since it gives him an invulnerable wakeup
@@awesometaco8001 That makes sense. All quan gets a pop up when he already has other more practical ways to extend combos. Just dont think it's worth 2 bars imo
@@dankskpeeto3955 makes sense cuz of the damage you can get from it paired with tremor
Quan and Frost is nice. I can get 57% with fatal blow, and she works good with Quan's mix game
New main activated.

2 bars for a launcher but Johnny can launch off any combo, how does that make sense?
Lay off johnny, even shao can combo off anything smfh
@@DreBagsGaminglol Shao needs meter too at least a bar for ex knee but Johnny has some of the highest meterless damage in the game.
Quan has a lot of overheads so I guess that want you to really think about going for that mix, plus he has a one meter launcher as well
Quan has like 4 meter less launchers what are you on about
YO THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON CHALLENGE 7!! That's wild I thought I mistimed it but it just gave it to me because it cancelled but it seems like theres some kind of bug going on.
Hit the Quan
NRS loves to give their very evil characters the exaggerated hook nose. lol
New counter for Omniman
Bro Combo 6 is sooooo difficult to me. I gave up 😂
Anyone else getting Gargos vibes from a the portals in combat?
Oh no! Quan chi cool! 😩🤯
in my opinion, Sareena is the best kameo for him. It’s both lore accurate and you can do a 40% combo with the two of them.
Hanzo/Scorpion would also be a lore accurate kameo, at least with regards to MK9 and Mythologies. Quan was playing Hanzo like a fiddle for so long.... He never really figures it out until some point during the events of MK4/MKX; in both cases, it is Kuai Liang who reveals the truth.
Sareena is a good kameo if you can only breathe out your mouth
I think his down 1 contends Johnny for most broken jab, like it seems slow. Yet damn it’s spamable on block
What are you smoking ? Is the slowest and most punishable d1 in the game. 9 frame d1 means once people get in it’s game over
is this a reupload I watched it already yesterday but youtube said it was new and the times don't make sense?
