What makes Quan-Chi’s leg beat down so iconic is the fact that, much like Shang Tsung, he’s a sorcerer and could do many creative things with his powers but he opts to show others he isn’t afraid of dishing out a good ol’ fashioned beat down-with their own leg at that.
DANM
One thing I think could be cool to distinguish the two. Shang Tsung is one with a distinct love of image. While the tournaments he organizes are in gorgeous vistas, his hobby(the Flesh Pits) are disgusting and full of horrid monsters he’s experimenting on. Quan Chi need not be so separate. A Netherrealm demon wouldn’t care about his appearance. If we ever get a game with the Deadly Alliance again, I would love to see them use that as a way to distinguish the two.
Also the fact that the game could bug in fatality and Quan Chi would continue to beat you with your own leg tirelessly
@@dreadalex, I didn’t know about that! That’s crazy.
There’s got to be video of that right?
Fun fact: Quan Chi's leg beatdown fatality is Ed Boon's favorite fatality
And his Fatality in Deadly Alliance is Ed's least favorite.
(To be honest that fatality makes me laugh XD)
I mean he beats you to infinity
@@meganinten0078 it's Soo bad, that it's good
@@meganinten0078 It's just too funny, my favourite fatality in the franchise.
Only thing we have in common
Sorcerer Quan was some of the most fun I've ever had in a fighting game. You could just feel your opponent get salty when you drain that meter.
corner trapping with armor portal ruled
@@flowrepins6663 that too for sure. I loved to drain meter, then armor trap. Such a fun character.
@@siriswarrior the block portal was deadly broken in first patch also. i didnt get to try it
I know these take a lot of time and effort to make, so I gotta say I appreciate you putting these out as often as you have!!!
They obviously take a lot of effort, but I bet they don't take much time.
@@sonyabladesbooty3890 Massive script, tons of gameplay to record, extensive research for the games im not so sure on, IDK man. shit takes a long time.
@@PNDKM don't listen to him (Sonya's booty lool), I'm pretty sure these videos take a huge amount of time to make not only that but also the script, footage, and deep knowledge of each game to be done in such a expertly way, really appreciate this series man keep it up
100% always loved how well the scripts are made and it's def my inspiration for mine too
All his videos are GREAT too ! I can't get enough of these.
I know the fandom loves the arcade cabinets of MK and MK2 but the MK4 cabinet holds a special place in my heart for Quan's portrait on the side . Loved the bony hands on his Warlock variation.
Same though I love the MK4 cabinet as much as the first two BECAUSE of Quan's portrait on the side.
I audibly gasped when this popped up in my feed. I’ll never forget seeing Quan’s face on the side of that old arcade cabinet as a kid. Been playing ever since. ‘Till they decapitated him, ig.
I'm glad that Tom Brady took a break in his nearly undefeated season in 2007 to make a Quan Chi Deadly Alliance guide
This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone refer to him just as “Quan”
I just call him "Crunchy"
It feels weird. You gotta say the whole thing, like "John Redcorn."

Ah yes, Quan Chi's special power
The power to grow the neck of his opponents until they become giraffes
Ketchup, you're genuinely the reason I picked up Quan in MKX. This is gonna be good.
The Rune Trapper himself! I'm looking forward to this.
God I fucking love his long neck fatality. Loooong neck is loooong.
despite his godawful fatality in deadly alliance, i'd say its still his most memorable appearance, i felt like he really took shao kahns place as the big bad guy, something they seem to confirm when he defeats shang tsung in deceptions intro. that and his fighting styles and dual swords were so distinct
Oddly enough one of my favorite characters to play as, I remember in mk9 after I beat the story mode I unlocked Quan and started playing him thinking he was going to be some top tier only to find out he was pretty garbage although rune trap was my favorite move to use with him.
You know it’s gonna be a good day when Competitive History is uploaded.
Thanks for this series and I’m excited for either Scorpion or Jax to make it in one of these. Cheers 👌🏿
Rich homie Quan, sending everyone to the skeleton realm with glee. I certainly remember him from the brief time I was able to play MK4, mainly the skydrop and that fatality (you know the one), and Kai was also memorable for that silly handstand thing. So at least the low tiers were memorable. Funny to think that the only reason you've not featured MKvDC in this series is that none of the characters you've covered were in it...
That's why when discussing which games which characters have been in (usually arguing why they should come back or sit out a game) I pretty much skip over it. It's a crossover game so naturally, it's gonna mostly consist of mainstays of the franchise that have been in most games, which for obvious reasons these guys are holding off on
Another excellent breakdown, it's just so fascinating to see the history of all of these characters in the competitive side of MK games. As for Quan Chi, man he was super strong in MKX indeed, I was pretty likely that I didn't run into many Quan players online LOL
As someone who only really plays fighting games against the AI or friends and not competitively I really feel like I could get to grips with the deeper mechanics purely because of these videos. You do a great job of giving a broad description that’s really simple for someone like me to be able to understand the essentials without it seeming too daunting. Also I think more lore type videos from this channel would be great purely because of the passion you both have for the series.
Ive been playing MK Armageddon since the day the game came out and I never knew about the weapon steal move. I couldnt believe there was something about this game I didn't know about. I guess I just never played Quan Chi in this game as even the Broadsword combos don't seem that familiar. But I don't even think this special move was ever used against me.
I feel like going and popping in MKA into the good old PS2.
Glad these are still being released, love the Kompetitive History videos. Thanks Ketchup and Mustard :)
IMO, the coolest villain in the whole series. WOOLAY
WOOLAY indeed
Quan Chi's actor in Mythologies Sub Zero (who was the same dude who played Kano in the original trilogy) was the highlight of the live action cutscenes to me
Those sexy eyebrows 😏😆
Also, he likes to make fun of Sub Zero calling him ninja.
Quan chi is famous in mk4 for his appearance on the arcade cabinet itself! Surprised that wasn't touched on
Yep. Never even knew his name at first, but I remembered his face on the arcade machine. I think my brother called him Uncle Fester xD
Wooow that last mixup, the delayed low bat during the overhead portal stomp recovery into a grab. That was slick.
imagine spending money to go to an event just to unlock your character smh lol appreciate the shoutout
These breakdowns are actually so interesting. I wasn’t even aware of 3D-era metas before watching them.
What we’ve gathered so far:
Mk4: Quan Chi is evil by being so low-tier
MkDA: Quan Chi has Evil broadswords
MkA: Quan Chi EVIL-LY steals your weapons
Mk9: Quan Chi punishes his mains at tournaments
Mk10: Quan Chi has 3 different flavors of EVIL!
Conclusion: Quan Chi is EVVVVVIIIIIILLLLLLL!!!!!
Nice vid btw!
8:23 Bad to the bone riff
Quan always looked really cool
8:23 BITING SKULL PROJECTILE JUMPSCARE GRRAAAHHHH!!
I’ve always loved how Quan Chi is not only an extremely powerful sorcerer, but is also a simple, yet brutal and effective melee fighter. It’s like he trained combat just enough to know how to cause his opponents a great deal of pain even without his magic
Whether it's intentional or not, I love how Quan Chi almost always ends up as this martially below-average fighter who got scummy tricks; whether it's stealing the opponent's weapon, or hitting the opponent with unblockable/hard to blockable loops, or making people eat a ton of safe chip damage
absolutely love watching these videos. i appreciate how in depth you guys go with all of it. these videos are definitely valued
I WAS LITERALLY THINKING THIS EPISODE SHOULD HAPPEN!! Thanks as always K&M❤️
This should be fun, love this series. Hopefully one day you get to cover MK vs DC lol. Just having to research that game would suck
just want you to know i enjoy these history videos on characters through out the mk games. It has to be a lot of work and time to go through all of the games and find out every detail then find people from the community and what they thought of the characters etc. Great job man, keep up the great work
Man, those stages in Deadly Alliance! Some great memories of first seeing them. I miss the 3d plane of things simply for the background environments. Most fighting games that are 3d plane look like action figures fighting in a fishbowl….or maybe just Soul Calibre and Tekken nowadays lol I dunno. Love these vids man! Great stuff!
Love these competitive trips thru history I always learn so much making me instantly wanna go back and revisit the older games.
I love this series it always gives me memories when I was a kid watching the pros play, especially the 3d games, you guys are amazing
MK4 has a special place in my heart because that's the one I played the most as a kid because I might have been way too young for the first 3 (though not by much). So it's awesome to see a character from that generation getting this much love.
5:12 didn't expect Tom Brady to be a mortal kombat fan
The 8:24 jump scare is hilarious
Great content as always, Ryan! Keep 'em coming!
These videos are so good, there’s not much filler and they’re so comprehensive.
Please do Kitana next! She would cover lesser known games like Unchained, MK Tournament Edition and even your least favourite, MK vs DCU!
The most powerful sorcerer and he just jumps on your face
Always love watching these analyses from you.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into these, they are all very well done.
Quan Chi is one of my favorite villain characters (in terms of gameplay)
So I'm glad you made a video on him
Loving this series as always Ketchup…missing some MK Meta though…wonder what game is next there.
Appreciate the videos as always, especially since you are very busy these days.

This is mind boggling that a tournament event would not make sure that part of the setup was ensuring that every console would have all the characters ready to go, instead of basically going "Oh you're a tournament level player? Go speed run the story mode to unlock your main."
My favourite competitive appearance of Quan Chi was in Defenders of the Realm where his special moves were making weird shouting noises and making a snake turn into his belt.
Competitive history, nice. The only game with him I was good at was Deadly Alliance, he's a top 10 there.
Oh this is gonna be a good one.
Thank you as always :)
Was thinking about how much I love MK4 Quan earlier and then this pops up in my feed. That green skull fireball always makes me laugh.
i played armageddon so much as a kid but I never recall Quan having the weapon steal move,
new mandela effect maybe?
I was honestly expecting Kenshi next, nice throw off after that Kenshi video.
I'm glad we got Quan Chi, I was waiting for him.
I just went on a binge of these earlier this morning so this is awesome
This one made my day, really. Thank you guys
Thank you putting this together!
Since MK11's release I've moved on to the SF scene but i still support my true Love of MK!
Just when I was thinking about quan chi lol. This is fav series on UA-cam. Thanks!
I remember really liking him in MK5:DA. His Tang Soo Do form and Broadswords were solid.
Quan Chi the screaming sorcerer from Defenders of the Realm.
Thanks for making these videos!
Who would've thought Tom Brady would be the guy to teach them about deadly alliance Quan chi
i remember quan chi on the side of a local arcade cabinet. that and the continue screen with the pit fall gave me nightmares. memories.
Awesome content! Was wondering if you thought about including a pro player's thoughts and/or input when making a character specific breakdown, if they mained them. Either way great stuff dude!
Quan chi has always been my favorite
I just finished watching Scorpion's Revenge, so this should be interesting.
I'm still waiting for Scorpion's competitve history.
I appreciate all the effort you put into these!
Number 15 - QUANCHI DINGLE
Man I loved watching Shujinkydink's Summoner Quan back in the day. those mix ups were brutal
I had so much fun with Warlock, driving my buddy crazy with portals stuff😁😁
Been waiting for this one! Quan chi is my second favorite character behind Scorpion 🦂
Can’t wait to watch this looking forward to more meta videos in the future
So excited when I saw a new video!
Quan Chi is so sick, superb video! I hope we get to see Jax and or Kano some day
"you have to go to school today"
- MK9 Quan Cheese
Yes! I've been waiting so long for this 😩
Always a pleasure seeing these competitive history videos!
I know they’ll be a nightmare but I’m still waiting for Sub-Zero and Raiden!
was waiting for this since the beginning of the series
8:23 Spooky Jumpscare alert!!! Ooooh very scary.
I would love to see a competitive history video for either baraka or Jonny cage two characters that are in my top 3 favorite mk characters alone with reptile
Fun fact. He learned that kick launcher straight from Rock Lee himself
I wonder if weapon steal in Armageddon works on the stage weapons
I’VE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS ONE
Nice. Still looking out for that Kano episode
I would absolutely love to see a deep dive like this on Sub-Zero
In the time in my dorm room without strong internet, I played MK9 on my 360 and some mkx offline on my computer. Quan chi has become one of my favorite characters in all of mortal kombat, and it is terrible that I have to cook with bottom one.
Quan had absolutely no way of opening up an opponent to get the Rune trap going. I had to do a little shimmy dance to get my opponent to stop blocking for b3,1+2 to hit lol
Can you do a competitive history of scorpion and sub-zero, the faces of mortal kombat ?
It’s such a great day when I see these videos in my feed! May I recommend Baraka next?
Damn the intro music gets me going every time!
The more and more I watch these videos, the more and more I want to play older MK titles cx
The Best MK content returns
I swear, I wish I was better at playing MKX, I would have definitely picked up Quan chi
You are the reason I started playing quan chi and its my main now
You have likely been a quan main longer than me now yknow. I only used him for 2 years 😁
Great video! I remember hearing about Quan being in MKDC, IIRC Harley Quinn was rumoured to be the DC counterpart that would have came around the same time. Any merit to that? Could easily just have been a forum rumor at the time.
Love watching these. Hope Johnny cage or scorpion gets a video soon. I’m a very causal MK fan so these 2 are my mains
I've put so many hours in mk9 tag mode the combos you can pull off Is just amazing and fun
I picked up summoner 2 weeks before the trance nerf, but that didn't bother me as much as the b2 nerf, that hurt him so bad. Though the f142 buff was nice
Love love these videos, hoping Kano next 🙏
