Question - Quan Chi Was it always called "Ex Rune"?

MK2D

Have you had your MK today?
As you can see I'm a noob here, and it took some searching to realize that Ex Rune/Rune trap was just his Ground Burst.

Is it just because it was easier to say or type?


Thanks for clarifying.

Also, what would you consider is Quan's current best variation? After bouncing around a bit I think I've settled on maining as him to get better than average (always loved the series but have mostly played casually). Never really have buckled down with any one character in the past but all his variations appear to allow distinctly creative playing.

All I know is when Dink looped me in that stupid thing 5 billion times in MK9 it was called "The Rune Trap".

Sounds a lot better than Ground Burst Trap too haha

Haha yeah it does sound more intimidating for sure.

I've been dabbling with Warlock and Sorcerer trying out some zoning and corner pressure. Only briefly touched on Summoner in practice so will hit it up some more.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

When mk9 came out Tom Brady posted a video about the Rune Trap, before that I hadn't heard the term. The move was called ground blast but maybe Brady called it the Rune first.

Since MK vs DC where they changed Quan Chi's appearance, they replaced his former "dragon king army" tattoos with magic circle tattoos.

In MK9 whenever he was casting the EX "ground burst" one of his tattoos was appearing for a brief moment on the floor, then a beam of light followed. That's rune magic

"Ground burst" just doesn't fit
Even if Brady would never say it, someone else would... Under the Mayo maybe.

I still don't know the real name of the Special but the ''Rune Trap'' thing was block string + EX ''Run or whatever is called'' that was unblockable so you basicly you ''Trap'' your target and he cant escape the unblockable.
