Originally posted by juggermanNo, they both fought Raiden and now you want to say one guy took more punches and act like this was a determining factor. Wrong. The fight occurred after both recovered. Raiden even recovers from Shang's giant attack after a while.
They did but as we see Shang took much more.He clearly was. He and Liu squared off uniterrupted by anyone else. They fought with Shang being the clear superior of the two. Then Shang tossed him off the pyramid. He was the clear victor. The others can be argued that the fight didn't finish but he easily beat Kang. I never said Kahn was defeated, i said Shang easily avoided his attacks and easily countered him knocking him away. That's impressive no matter which way you slice it.
Quan was being beaten by Jax. No matter how you try to spin it Jax looked to be the superior of the two with Quan being "saved". Again the fight was not with them bth at 100%
I never said Quan wasn't weakened. I said Shang took more of a beting by Raiden meaning he was more hurt. Quan wasn't as hurt. We see what Shang is capable of at 100% and we see at 100% Quan has trouble with brawlers and his magic is easily overcome with mere punches. Shang would stomp Quan at full strength.
So no link to a MK developer praising Quan Chi then?
Liu wasn't defeated as evidenced by his chains into Sahng right before he got to the top. This was also zombie Liu who was much less formidable than regular Liu who always had Shang's number until Quanchi assisted him.
It is impressive but again it was a giant melee. The only one who won in the end was Shao Kahn. That's who won.
Quan was hurt by one attack. He can be hurt by any Mk fighter just like anyone else. You trying to spin it around only makes Shang looks worse. The fight didn't conclude so you can pretend he beat Quan but it wasn't over. Jax got 86'd.
False. We see him hurt by Jax not beaten. According to you one attack means you practically beat the guy. LOL. You can try and spin the abc logic but it's clear that Quanchi beat Shang's ass. Both had recovered and both were injured. Raiden rocked Shang's weaker body than Quanchi. In a direct comparison Quan looked superior against Raiden and definitively beat Shang. If Jax hit Shang he'd probably go run and hide if it damaged a much stronger (you admitted this yourself) Quan than Shang. There is no comparison here but there is against Raiden.
Do you want the link where John Vogel says Quanchi is the greatest sorcerer in MK ? It was in the MK cards from one of the games for Quanchi. I can look and find it though but only if you will concede the debate.
Quan beat Shang one on one. Quan also fared better against raiden than Shang in a direct comparison.
