but he also had them in the ending of shoalin monks so i believe mk vs dc takes place in the mk:sm universe

because this game is not canon and they probably didn't want to make a different quan chi model.

Because I began a sentence with because, and Quan Chi's tattoos are everything apart of what makes Quan Chi, a Quan Chi. Why does Superman wear a red cape?

Everybody say it with me now...

"NON-CANON"
Sometimes when I post on this board, I feel like a Sesame Street character trying to teach kids the alphabet.

its non canon but so was shoalin monks so whats stopping it from being a part of the shoalin monks time line

I don't give a shit if its non canon, at least make the storyline make sense. That's like making Shang Tsung old and Raiden dark just because its non canon. Give me a break.

No I will not give you a break.

Don't worry, it doesn't make sense, no matter how you look at it.

Because they think they look cool and are iconic now. Because the story is not a priority.

Because of these games not following a "CANON" storyline they don't come before or after any events. They are their own thing, in their own place and time. Neither Past nor Present, But along some fantasy Timeline.

Who the hell do you think I am? I’m the goddamn Batman!

because ED BOON wanted him to.

The tattoos aren't even the same as in Deadly Alliance. Check it:




I don't know about you, but I see an upside-down trident sort of thing instead of three lines of runes. So how do you know this version of Quan Chi didn't just want to get some more ink done, and likes the color red?

That's an interesting point, however it might just be Midway forgetting about their own design so they made some new ones instead. You might be right about the tattoos being different on purpose but its not likely.

him and jax became friends and then Chi just became thugged out. they both like Tupac

Dont give away spoilers in your title. Edit it.

Frankly, I don't much care about where Quan Chi stands in the canon, in this. But I liked his MK4 look better. I just thought he looked cooler that way. Too bad they didn't give him that outfit.

Oh .....Oh ...why does Raiden look fat ?
Why does Quan Chi have tattos ?
Why does Liu Kang wear a belt ?
Why is Shang Tsung old ?
Why does Shao Kahn face look old ?
Why does >>>>>?

Stop asking stupid question .This game is not cannon .Just stop cursing every thing in the game .

Namco shits are always the same .Go and curse Namco in its forums .

Midway forgetting their own designs...? Are you trying to be stupid, or are you naturally?

It's likely that Quan-Chi's tattooed look is better than any other design they have done, because he hasn't discovered those runes yet, the tat's are different.

It's not that big of a deal anyway... I mean, he look cool with the tattoos.

If you don't feel like having a discussion about the plot holes of this game, then I suggest you to leave this topic. Canon, not canon, I want shit to be right, not everything all over the place.



No, I'm not. As you can see, Quan Chi was never possessed with tattoos until he found out the Dragon King's army.

Also, Quan Chi is supposed to wear his MK4 suit, and not his MKDA.

The simple answer as to why they keep using the DA look out-of-continuity is that Boon doesn't really like Quan Chi's old MK4 suit.
