I read a theory someone else had...I can't remember where I read it now, but it was in regards to what Quan Chi actually DOES when he performs his fatality. Most people see it as Quan Chi stretches his opponent's neck, they try and walk around and fall down. But this guy suggested that he doesn't actually do that. What he actually does is pull his opponent's head so their spinal column is dislodged and pulled upwards and this creates the "stretched neck" effect. I tend to agree with this...after all, is all he did was stretch their neck, it would probably be quite floppy, instead it's still quite straight and jutting out at an angle, so it makes sense to me. This of course would also be quite a bit more painful and would kill someone a lot faster.

yeah i agree cause if it was a stretched neck their head would have came off

and you know this, how???? :S

umm its quite obvious that you cant stretch somebodys neck for ever

I dont believe he is actually wrong, it is however not true that he has two fatalities, it's jsut on sites and magazines that list how to do a fatality there is for Quan Chi and a couple others actually two ways of doing a fatality, but i think it is merely a mistake and that one move will be from the xbox version and the other from the ps version, though i think when i tried both, they actually both did the same move, anyway! Simple misunderstanding!

What happened was when MKDA was released, or a bit after it, I think it was a gaming magazine, stated that Quan Chi had a leg beat fatality. They somehow got confused with MK4, as it's the same code.

It was either a magazine or a website (guess which one...)

I think it's the worst fatality.

That theory kinda does, and doesn't make sense. It makes sense that he could be ripping the spinal column, but then the skin on the neck would rip too, skin isn't that elastic! they look like inspector gadget. Or they could have at least molded the "stretched skin" into the shape of the spinal column being raised up.

Ed, what were you thinking man! Quan Chi, the second half of the deadly alliance, one of the main characters in the game, with one of the coolest looks ever, has a lame fatality!!! the lamest!

Well Shang Tsung's Fatality isn't much better...lots of gibs and a pool of blood at the end but no really cool effect like a body being sliced in half or anything...

That or the Arcade Drop Fatality of Lui in MK3

If Quan Chi is a sorcerer, what is he doing jumping on peoples shoulders? Why doesnt he use his powers? Did anyone else think the fatalities were kinda weak? Scorpions was good, but predictable. Kung Lao was pretty dumb. None of them really stand out in my mind. Oh- maybe Raiden. His was nice. Also Johnny Cage and Kano. They both had nice moves, but not much to brag about.

I think Kung Lao's is stylish as hell :)

Yes, I agree Quan Chi's fatality is the worst in the game. It's like they were running out of time and had to throw something in there quickly. Sort of like the entire Drahmin character. I mean, I love Ed and the MK Crew, but come on, not even any blood for this one?!?!?!?

I think Quan Chi's fatality is the worst of all characters of all MK games period. With Liu Kang's arcade drop fatality coming in a distant second. As far as MKDA goes, I think Cyrax has the best fatality in the game and one of the best ever(imo). Scorpion and Kung Lao also have pretty cool fatalities. Oh yeah and I like Hsu Hao's fatality also because I like how the top half of his victims body tries to crawl away.

This really was sad. When I first performed it... I just stared in disbelief. It was almost cartoonish, I'll still never know why that fatality was given to him, or anyone for that matter. I thought they could never outdue the arcade drop.... sadly they did.

I agree with many of you that Quan's fatality is the worst in MK:DA.

However, the Arcade Drop was at least worth a good laugh, and Liu Kang was redeemed by his Flame Teleport fatality. I thought Kabal's fatalities and Jax' Giant fatality were much worse.

Cage's fatality is really messy. One of the only ones in DA that made me twist a facial muscle in disgust ;).

Tsung's is not so bad, I think. But anyhow each character could have been equipped better with one (or even two?) extra fatalities...

Q

He should had used black magic or something...his Fatality is bad, but I dont think is the worst. I mean, there are many simple fatalities that dont really show originality, like Bo Rai Chos, Li Mei, Scorpions....they are bloody and painfull, but they dont have the original feeling. Quan Chis at least has something.

There are only a few fatalities that have the magic sence and feeling Mk had. Sonyas kiss, Frosts ice, Kenshis psyche powers, Raydens electricity, Reptiles acid and thongue, those are the fatalities that have the "magic" feeling I talk about, being half realistic, half unrealistic...more unrealistc though. THATS WHY we love fatalities.

BUT, Tsungs fatality for example...it HAS the "magic" feeling, but seeing a sorcer jump and stomp into an opponets body taking the soul in a very lame way is not right. I liked it, but not as much as the Mk2 and Mk3 ones. I didnt like the fact he had the same looking "magic waves" Kitana has on her fan lift, and Kenshi on his fatality.

Fatalities like Cage and Sub-Zeros dont really have any magic feeling. I mean, no green glowing on Cages hand, or any ice stuff on Sub, but they are very well done. Looking realistic and unrealistic at the same time, that kind of fatalities are also loved in Mk! Its like looking at Kanos Mk1 fatality, back on those days.

Sorry guy, I think you're going too far with the newbies... Remember that when you've dicovered this forum, U were a newbie too... And don't forget that this forum has been created to help each other, not to blame them.

Franchement, y'en a qui mériteraient des baffes...pfff

i agree that quan chi's fatality is very stupid.but i think bo rai cho's is THE dumbest fatality ever.

firstly I wanna get off my chest that as of right now (unless what I'm about to tell you is true, which I highly doubt) this is the worst MK fatality I can remember.


now on to the subject at hand.

the only thing that I can think of that would support your theory is a rumor that was going around a while back that if you tap certain buttons then maybe something else will happen. Remember in MK2(?) you would type in the code for Raiden's fatality and then he would start to shock them and you would have to keep pressing low kick (I think it was) and he'd continue intill they blew up. People were suggesting the same idea for this one. Maybe the head comes or maybe it comes off and then they use it to beat the decapitated body or something... who knows.

but yeah... thats about the closest realistic chance you'll get of this rumor being true (imo).

ok now i may be slighty sputimimamid but i could have sworn i saw a spinal chord when quan chi did his fatality on frost (and i think a few other characters-but i remember frosts being the most noticable)at least once. maybe im just looking to hard i dunno
