And contrary to what someone else said about hating Quan Chi just because he was instrumental in killing off half the roster...nope. I've grown to dislike Quan over a very long period of time.

Smart? Yeah, but that's more due to him being a Mary (Einstein) Sue than being genuinely intelligent.

Dude's too perfect, never really fails in his machinations, deceives EVERYONE without fail, has a solution for EVERYTHING, ect, ect.

And that makes him downright irritating and abrasive, imo. lol

So, Jade gets my vote. Plus, Jade's just downright awesome, so she deserves the vote. grin


Well, Quan Chi has lost at least 3 times during the MK timeline. In MK4 the heroes beat Shinnok and Quan Chi back. In MKD's intro, Raiden's explosion killed him off. And in MK9's intro, Shao Kahn and Raiden were the two remaining fighters, so that would mean Quan Chi has died again.

So he's not completely perfect, at least.


True, but stacked up against his successes...

●Has been successfully trolling Scorpion since day one.

●Has been successfully trolling Shinnok since day one.

●Trolled Bi-Han by turning him into Noon Saibot upon his death at Scorpion's hands (orchastrated by Quan).

●Defeated Shao Khan (clone) with Shang Tsung's aid.

●Helped Shang Tsung murder Liu Kang, Champion of Mortal Kombat.

●Defeated every Earthrealm warrior, with Shang's help.

●Defeated Raiden (God of Fucking Thunder), with Shang's help.

●Defeated Shang Tsung, and has been stealing his spotlight over a decade now, btw.

●Trolled Li Mei after she won the Deadly Alliance's mini-tournament by imprisoning her soul.

New Timeline

●Still trolling Scorpion.

●Still trolling Shinnok, probably.

●Still trolling Bi-Han.

●Trolled Shao Khan into resurrecting Sindel and trying to take Earthrealm by force, thereby weakening both realms, removing Khan as a threat, and leaving the door open for Shinnok to invade both.

●Made a pact with a now-dead Khan, whom he was trolling and setting up for failure all along anyway, to take possession of all souls lost during the illegal invasion of Earthrealm (thereby making half the roster his personal bitches by the end of it all).

I could probably go on, but that pretty much sums it up. His ability to triumph far outweighs any failures he's suffered. Dude needs to die in MKX...badly. lol

So don't argue with me, Jaded. I did vote for Jade, afterall, so you should be agreeing with me...about everything. grin jk


There you go, he's a troll, that's the main reason I like him. And if he does die, it'll probably be a clone, as seen he is capable of cloning himself in Baraka's MKG ending.

Also, guy directly above this, Quan Chi is 48.1%, so he has an okay chance.

Whatever tickles your pickle, friend. smile

I for one am hoping he dies a horrible, horrible death (minus clone) in MKX...and in this mock tourney. lol

Voted Quan, much more interesting story, Jade can redeem herself in MKX if she takes on her non-canon ending.

I really started to get far away from Jade because of MK2011, where she is Kitana's lab-dog.

I think you mean "lapdog," which basically has been her purpose throughout the series.

Jade isn't Kitana's lapdog, really. That would imply that Jade did EVERYTHING Kitana wanted her to. She's a somewhat overprotective friend for her, not a slave. In MK9 she even defies Kitana's request of leaving her be, as she continuously spies on her and follows her around to make sure she won't get into trouble - as a responsible bodyguard would. She even tries to stop Kitana by force when the princess insists to go see what's hiding in the Flesh Pit.

Jade might not be independent of Kitana story-wise, but she ain't no lapdog.

So you'd prefer her to be a slave of the unknown woman instead. IMO that won't contribute to her character and will probably kill her off. I'd prefer that not to happen.

I think what most people want is for Jade to stray from being tied to Kitana's story. But true, jumping from being dependent to Kitana to be dependent on the mystic woman in her ending won't really make her an independent character, but it might turn interesting either way.

I, for one, would not be really happy being trapped inside my body while someone else is controlling it.
Theres lots of ways to keep her off Kitana. Having some chick jack her body is not the way to do it.
Call me crazy, but the reason I like her is because she is always so caring for Kitana and always watches her back.

That's actually one of the main reasons I like Jade as well. Her relationship with Kitana gives her so much personality, along with being a sassy bitch towards her opponents. XD

I think that's the best I've heard it.
I don't dislike Jade. I just dont care for her storyline.

This is going to be the weirdest paradox if the same guy who dumped Smoke turns around and loses to his less-popular counterpart.

Well, he kinda is... He was just put into MK9 because the devs like him. He had no place in there. Especially not when slowly taking over everything Shang Tsung was supposed to do.

Quan Chi was forced into the story when he should have been a background character, pulling the strings from behind the scenes. That's what made him so awesome in the original timeline. MK9 lessened his character immensely.

Quan Chi, because he is 20x more interesting than Jade and I want him to meet his maker in MKX for all he has done. Oh, and I'd also like to see a new character design for QC given that he has been looking the same and wearing the same fucking shit for over a decade

His supplanting Shang in MK9 was like a changing-of-the-guard moment. Shang has never really been held in high esteem by Kahn throughout the course of the series. Killing him and siphoning off his powers to Sindel pretty much said it all.

The only reason Kahn was disappointed in Shang Tsung is because he was so close to take over Earthrealm, and then he fails. Shang Tsung tries to make up for it throughout MK2 and MK3, but in MK9 it's like Quan Chi butts in and takes over instead. It's like NRS wanted Quan Chi to fully replace Shang Tsung, and now since Shang Tsung is completely gone, he succeeded in doing so.

Shang Tsung might have failed in MK1, but Kahn losing in MK2 and MK3 wasn't Shang Tsung's fault. Him teaming up with Quan Chi and killing Shao Kahn ('s clone) in MKDA was one of the coolest moments in MK history. He even got revenge over Liu Kang who defeated him in MK1. But that will never happen now.

This is just my opinion, but Quan Chi was ALOT more awesome when he was being the puppetmaster who pulled the strings from the shadows until he teamed up with Shang Tsung. That way, Quan Chi wasn't lessened as a character, and his involvement wouldn't lessen Shang Tsung's character either, which I think it did in MK9.

Awakening Sindel on Earthrealm soil was a back-up plan which was completed by Shang Tsung. MK9 lessened the storyline by making it some random idea Quan Chi suddenly came up with (though I'm sure he had planned it beforehand though).

Overall, Quan Chi has lost what made him cool, imo. Him being in MK9 and being such an active character in the story was, funny enough, what made him lose his charm. I have little love left for him.

That he took a spot in the main roster that I think should have been given to Rain just adds to me disliking him.

You won't get any argument from me that QC has been rather overexposed in the series as of late.

(I know Quanchi9 won't like that, though.)
