Probably not. I don't think this concept will ever be put to use.

I don't really care for the weapon, but I like his outfit in the first image.

Dont't think Quan Chi really needs weapons.

But Alan Ditzig did some sick work in MKDA, wish he was still a concept artist on the team!

I'd love to see that thing become real one day. Perhaps when the new universe catches up to the MKDA timeframe.

Me too, that's one freaky looking head.

Man if he would, maybe for a fatality?? or some other cool gimmick move, he can summon an alie with it, that will help him, for like 3 hits or something :DDDD

What the hell is that thing on the head?!
I must know!

I really don't see what is so attractive about this weapon. It's fucking ugly as hell and it spits flies! FLIES!!! It looks like a weapon that could be added to some animé fighting game like Guilty Gear or Blazblue.

I hope to never see it in-game...

Hmm I wonder if he got that weapon... could we fatality it too since it is alive.

Brutal Legend style perhaps?

It would be cool, i'd certainly like it if it was in, but I don't expect to ever see it in game.

It would be awesome to have him with that staff and look like this,

I'd never take that staff over his dual wielding swords.

Those looked so out of place in his hands.

I'd fucking love to see that staff in the future. That's the weapon he was meant to have.

Give the swords to somone else, let him have the creepy looking staff.

Awesome thread.

I too have been hoping for his "Living Weapon" ever since I saw those glorious concept art pictures of it in MKDA.

The "weapon" eventually gave birth to "Drahmin" as a character of his own (remember he even shoots flies), but, I would love to see this unique weapon in the form of a special move or Fatality.

That would be an epic Fatality. Tons of crazy possibilities.

Isn't Drahmin what this staff ultimately became?
(Not that I'm saying Drahmin wouldn't be improved by turning back into a staff, mind you).

I agree with this. Except I hope to never see it out-of-game either. I feel like a lesser person for having seen it here.

It spits locusts. One of the god damned Plagues of Egypt.

Alright, sorry... Diseased flies then.

Plagues are fun.

Im'ma call it The Drahminator!!!!!

It was a great concept art. But I really don't see this making the game at all actually. I see Quan Chi kicking ass without the needs of weaponry.

that weapon has some freakin awesome possibilities. imagine everything his throw could be if he used it! or even the combos and anti-air moves.
