    Hey Ketchup! I'm sure you know this, just never seen you apply it. With Sorcerer in the corner after a Curse, if you go into: F2122, S4, NJP, S4 Trance, F2122, 14 EX Burst, 141, Curse (42% dmg) . The first Curse disappears just as the combo ends, allowing you to cast a new one. Ya the corner game is usually Hex traps, but this is definitely applicable.

    I can't ever specialize a character because I like to switch from character to character but I have been using Dualist Liu Kang because it's like 2 variations I'm one, You & mustard got me to pick up Quan & Kano now very helpful vid as always

  • @Cycriss88
    @Cycriss88 9 років тому

    Holding so many 50/50s in the corner as Quan sucks. I have to d1 (barely does much), use interaction or the dangerously option of Skydrop. Because of this I've been using more Warlock in certain matchups. Redundant in this video, but it was thanks to advice I've asked on this channel that I've been doing better without changing my character.

    @mijaco999 9 років тому

    I like to use warlock when theres a character who has a lot of push back on strings. i.e. Erron Blacks 21122 string even blocked just pushes you out the armour immediately, so i like to use warlock.

    I mainly play as Relentless Jason. I know how to combo and open up my opponent. (Video on my channel.) Jason is a close fighter. His slasher is mid to close. With the exception that he can throw the machete. How can I get better with him? So I can get the last trophy. Dropping fools. So, close, yet so far.

  • @Diego92Souza
    @Diego92Souza 9 років тому +9

    after "re-watching" the video, i came to the conclusion, that this is very good, if you play a good character like, *Quan*, *Lao*, *Tanya*, *Shinnok*, etc.... if you are playing *Goro*, *jason*, or any other *"low tiers"*, you're fucked.... the variation is not going to help you.... at all..... and that's a problem on NRS, i'm hoping that they are using all this time, to actually fix the "useless" variations in this game (and a little help on the netcode is always good) !!!
    but again, great video !!

    Ketchup, I see you constantly upload videos on Tech and Quan Tech. Would Mustard be willing to do more videos on Shinnok? I know there is not much to Shinnok considering his small move set but I am curious as to what goes through Mustard's mind while using each variation of Shinnok because I think I am pretty solid on Shinnok but there is always room for improvement.

  • @KageManTV
    @KageManTV 9 років тому

    Thanks for this, quite insightful into Quan Chi. I'd like to ask though a few things
    1. How do you analyse the strength of other characters in the game?
    2. Do you practice all the combos available or make your own before you consider yourself a specialist?
    3. How do you find other characters that compliment or play the same as yours and would using them make you a specialist in a type of play?

    • @dandogamer

    • @todanderson9772
      @todanderson9772 9 років тому +1

      Yeeah, reptile has three different variations of set-up rush down. Either he turns invisible, makes you slow, or dumps slime on you to enhance his offense. Repty got the short end of the stick in this game :(

    • @Eliphas44

      +Tod Anderson He's probably still my most played character but it's tough not to be a bit disappointed when you see variations of other characters like Kotal, Kano or Dvorah.

    • @Diego92Souza
      @Diego92Souza 9 років тому

      +Eliphas44 yup... what about Goro or Jason ?!.... the variation system is good on paper, but NRS doesn't know how to balance their characters, is too much shit for some, and pretty much nothing to others.....

    Hi Ryan, I struggle a lot on my favorite caracter which is Erron Black, i don't fell playing anyone else even if the combos are easier for me,anyway let's cut to the chase.The 21122 string is my problem,the first part 211 is so difficult for me,can't get muscle memory on this string to press fast.I'm starting to lose hope and i start to lose my motivation,some tips from you guys on how to practice would help i hope,and i don't want to ignore it or replace it with another string,i just need to master this string,and i know you agree. I talked a lot here but i'm really frustated on this thing... Hope to hear from you.

    • @ELChapoFG
      @ELChapoFG 9 років тому

      I forget to tell you that after the 21122 string i have problems as well on canceling into the sand trap... my muscle memory is so weak on this string and cancel...i don't know how practise because i can pull then off when not in combo but when i try to link them i just fail..

    • @antonioalba9926
      @antonioalba9926 8 років тому

    • @ELChapoFG
      @ELChapoFG 8 років тому

      +DaedricGamesX i've been making some good progress with these moves,but still sometimes i mess the 21122 for some reason when fighting ,maybe the nerves,but anyway i just realise that i need to practice much more than others just because i'm not that talented or skillful i think. The sand trap i only have problem on hitting it on wakeup.

Direção de Arte see.... that's the problem with the supposedly good variation system, bad characters in this game, are "bad" characters, changing variation with Goro or Jason, is not going to help you very much, and that's a problem on their end (NRS) i think that the variation system is good in theory, but, has proven too much for them to handle, character balance and all that shit.... unless they prove me wrong on the KP2 characters "balance patch", my point stands, NRS, doesn't know how to balance their characters, and the variation system is too much for them to handle.....

  • @Qneetsa
    @Qneetsa 9 років тому

    What people need to realise, is that bad game design choices can be balanced, and this precious "balanced" tag is not the most important thing in the game.
    I absolutely love Warlock, he is great from artwork to gameplay and fairly balanced.
    But as much as I love Warlock, i Hate Summoner and Sorcerer.
    When you have no defense at all it's only fair you have an insane offense. Footsies, damage, mix-ups, zoning - those 2 variations have it all.
    It might be balanced on paper and even statistically, but it doesn't make it right.
    This gameplay style makes matches too edgy, when only one player gets to play. If Summoner or Sorcerer are on the defense, the don't get to play: the opponent can use all the strings with gaps, all the pressure on a knockdown and he doesnt have to respect anything. If those 2 varitaions manage to get a hit, the opponent may never get to play in this round again. It is an exaggeration, but you get the point.
    It might be balanced, yes, but it is a bad gamedesign nonetheless.
    And let's face it, when you have a decent chance of winning a game from one touch, people would never go Warlock, they will go gambling with Sorcerer or Summoner. I bet we won't even see Ketchup himself play more consistent, but less rewarding Warlock in tournamets.
    Mkx is labled a gambling fighting game as it is, and Quan Chi just makes it even worse. Why, Netherrealm, why? I want to play a game, not to Have-a-chance-to-play-a-game. And that's exactly how playing against Summoner or Sorcerer feels. Even if it is fucking balanced.

    • @bobmatron
      @bobmatron 9 років тому

      +Maximilian Mansur 100% agree. I always sigh when I fight a quan chi because I main tremor, and quan chi can't deal with tremors pressure, but tremor can't deal with quan chi's pressure, so it's like whoever gets the first hit wins

  • @Locii97

    • @wilsonmartin734
      @wilsonmartin734 9 років тому

      Don't listen to people online most of them don't even know the game they were probably just salty you won. Tremor is lacking a good mid attack and has issues with that. He's strong but he is by no means overpowered.

    No armor...buff quan chi :|.
    I've been playing kotal kahn blood god as my main, sun god as secondary, and I barely touch war god. I was playing reptile deceptive, but then they buffed it to where it's actually viable and I dropped it. He was already too execution heavy for me, now I just feel bad whenever I play him.
    Edit: Warlock quan chi is god damn annoying against kotal. All quan chi's are, but that kick to the back of the head from anywhere...

      People like you shouldn't be playing mk.You don't understand the basics of mkx if you're asking a nerf on quan. Ketchup said it, he struggles on defense.

      +Keiji Inai there are few characters that lack a defence like quan, the one that comes to mind for me is bloodgod, who's also got great damage, but bloodgod dosnt get a nearly unblockable safe mixup.

      +Keiji Inai he's still arguably top 3. Everyone agrees that his ass is top 5. But, hell, somebody has to be top 3.

      He isn't wrong. However I don't hate the character. I've faced a quan summoner who only did these unavoidable traps where your forced to breaker, to just get some distance. And I'm not speaking of the resets ketchup is covering. The one I'm speaking of is where quan njp with the bat out and goes low bat, where you really frame out of it, because it's so tight to get yourself out of that situation. But it is a reset and there's nothing you can do about it IF You don't have breaker. It was pretty cheap and again it's not the reset ketchup is discussing. It's a reset that doesn't need much to do. I believe it's game breaking.

      He has amazing offense in summoner but no defense. No good reversals Or anything you get him in the corner he's gotta wait it out and guess the 50/50s. Hes fucking fine. Amazing offense and basically no defensive is a good balance IMO
