The stand 2 animation for Quan chi is literally the very reason why I don’t play him anymore. Lost many matches when I kept thinking it was a mid and wondered how I whiffed on a ducking enemy
It’s one of those moves that you constantly have to deal with in order of getting out of the habit of falling for it, just like the Sindel moves and nitara, I lose to them more because they have those goofy looking moves it’s crazy.
My buddy mains him and that gets me every time. I sometimes have a Baraka drill where I have one do that mid low kick and I punish optimally. The closest I can get out in an actual match is uppercutting the douche after that.
ok i might be a Erron main, but I think it makes sense that you wouldn't be able to keep your balance while crouching if someone did a running drop kick at you.
@@catnarychip8553 you’re right. But if you were standing up, it’d actually be worse because you’d be easier to knock down. So if we’re being technical, NRS could’ve made it unblockable 💀
I remember when the game got live…Barakas double kick was a OVERHEAD into a LOW. So glad they fix that with the first patch to make it mid and then low.
all highs should be duckable, unless they are in the middle of a string and the preceding hit jails on block I actually cover every duck punishable high string in each characters punish video
mk definitely randomly applies the logic of "if youre crouch blocking this would totally smack you right in the face/knock you off balance, so lets make it an overhead" its just not very consistent with applying that logic
@@shenles 😂😂 yeah let's forget the gaps, all highs, every single move minus, cancel minus, wake up trash, no mid game, too upblockable. Yeah "the invisibility is completely busted he needs a nerf" I think the invisibility should cost 2 bars 👍😂 and kenshi a buff like invisibility, perfectly balance 🤓👍
it’s weird cuz in the day 0 build of the game a lot of animations were fixed. if it looked like a low, it was a low. they like fixed it out of fear for a fun game, but now we’re left with this fucking animation mess

Kenshis gut stab being an overhead is actually a crime against my ancestors
It's the same attack from MK9 (Being an overhead too) Seems to be there to serve more as reference lol.
Isn't it like 16 frames? You're getting hit anyway lol
@@senseiswift7269 ain’t no one reacting to that broken shit😂😂

the worst part about that fucking baraka low is that its a two hit in one, fuck me gets me everytime
Oh yeah the fact that it's an easy armor breaking meaty is absurd

That baraka’s mid low has won me so many games its not even funny
My buddy mains him and that gets me every time. I sometimes have a Baraka drill where I have one do that mid low kick and I punish optimally. The closest I can get out in an actual match is uppercutting the douche after that.
You are the bane of my existence
Classic NRS animations, they never change lol
Never forget Erron Black’s forward + 4 being an overhead in BOTH MKX and MK11, despite being a completely horizontal dropkick
ok i might be a Erron main, but I think it makes sense that you wouldn't be able to keep your balance while crouching if someone did a running drop kick at you.

Kenshi's b2 I'm not surprised about just because it's a callback to his MK9 overhead
Stryker catching strays out here 💀

you sure? i feel like id have remembered that lol
good they fixed it
In MK11, Shang Tsung has a move where he literally chops you in the head, but it’s a mid.
I legit didn’t know Nitara’s dive kick was an overhead or Kenshi’s guy stab, damn.
Did you not pay attention 😭 Nitara dive kick is specifically a Low 😭
😂😂
@@denverglick6685 crap you’re right
Bruh I always block that nitara dive kick like an overhead 😭
That’s why I kept getting hit by Nitaras kick😂 that shit is such a scam
Khameleons ball roll looks like a low 😭
at the end maybe, but she definitely does a whole overhead kartwheel at the beginning (which is overhead)
This is nice. You should also show the high's where we can micro duck.
all highs should be duckable, unless they are in the middle of a string and the preceding hit jails on block
I actually cover every duck punishable high string in each characters punish video
@@shenles still would've been nice as a completion of sorts.
Kenshi's b2 - 16f, its unreactible anyway, so... Dont really give a sh1t how its look like)
Not as bad as mk9’s lows and overheads 😭 that’s also where Kenshi’s overhead in this game originated from
Kenshi one looks like Rambo and Black kick in MK11, which is a mid belly kick but too strong that you lose balance when you crouch block.
mk definitely randomly applies the logic of "if youre crouch blocking this would totally smack you right in the face/knock you off balance, so lets make it an overhead"
its just not very consistent with applying that logic
That Kenshi's stab attack was overhead since MK9.
oh so there really is no excuse. ppl need to fking get good (and get legacy knowledge from previous titles smh)
@@shenles mk9 is even worse, it's faster than in mk1.
As a kenshi player, it is indeed a skill issue if you get hit by my 12f unreactable overhead 🗿🍷
16f actually but yes 😂😂 ppl should just react
And smoke (A MIXUP CHARACTER) with a 28 frames overhead, yeah "smoke is completely busted"
tbf smoke can become invisible
@@shenles 😂😂 yeah let's forget the gaps, all highs, every single move minus, cancel minus, wake up trash, no mid game, too upblockable. Yeah "the invisibility is completely busted he needs a nerf" I think the invisibility should cost 2 bars 👍😂 and kenshi a buff like invisibility, perfectly balance 🤓👍
I aint say all that tho xD
Ive been playing this game since beta but never touched kenshi now i discover that his stab is an overhead 😂
I legit SCREAMED at that Kenshi overhead 😮😮😮😮😮
THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN GETTING HIT THIS WHOLE TIME????? bruh 😔
I just checked and this is not an old video. Why hasn't NRS fixed this in all their patches???
because NRS intends for it to be an overhead 😂😂
Nice

Bro it’s not hard stop crying u bum
dude i fkin swear. also mileena from the kameleon kameo, still dont know if her roll is a overhead or low, i always get hit by it its so fast
its overhead!
Never understood this bs in mk🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
That baraka mid low is so dumb. Anyone would see that and block high.
Not me, first time I ever saw that move I recognized it was a mid with a low follow through stomp. I'm just built different like that XD
@@shenles after getting clipped a few times I learned the hard way.
Bro how didnt u bring up quans neutral overhead, like sindel it shoots magic at the ground but is actually an overhead
hmmm I hear you but tbh he has such a long wind up from above it never occured to me that it might look like a low
Firts 😅
Piss poor, lazy design.
