Add low forward fireball pls NRS
Very interesting to read this. I play DF but I play it in a way to keep you off. Grab setups are my game plan rather than constant chip. I have always said he is the Ryu of MK in DF...funny
This is solid. With a 6 and 7 frame poke he has just as good options as kotal to reverse pressure. Tele whiff punishes what f2 and b2 can't. Interesting.
I can't help but agree. However his footsie tools seem lacking to me for some reason. One bad ball read, one bad knife throw, b2 isn't all that great outside of combos. B1 and his reversals are all he has going for him.
I was going to mention Goro but you beat me to it. Goro's defensive game is amplified in Tigrar Fury. As you have the overwhelming Punchwalk of course (2 hits of armor on EX), waves of fire balls with good recovery, solid anti airs, a flame breath that's really plus, and of course F3 and multiple OTG set ups that are disgusting. All these tools force your opponent on the ground, and not to mention you have low fireballs to play with.
. My vote goes to cassie cage . oh and her hitbox is as small as oddjobs from James bond!
Wait...on reread...what top armor move could you POSSIBLY be referring to?
Ex windmill punch is one of the best armoured moves in the game imo. Breaks armour, leads to decent damage, puts the opponent full screen, and is nearly safe. Unlike the regular wp, you cannot low profile, jump out, etc., and the only way to punish is to armour. Even with this, LK can parry or flying kick (goes over low profiling armour), to try and stay safe, making it so the opponent has to spend meter to just have a chance at punishing. And for characters who have armour that doesn't lead to much damage that is a horrible guessing game.
I wouldn't say every other...but like MK2, MKD, MKA, yeah. MK9 would have been up there had the top 2 characters not been great at offense, too.
7 frame s1 > 8 frame s1,I'm surprised people are choosing Kung Lao over cassie cage, what does he have better than her in the defensive, once the opponent is on you and pressuring?she has a 6 frame reversal , Kung Lao has 7 , cassies in ex is safe and kls isn't , cassie has a 6 frame s2 and Kung Lao has an 8 Frame s1, Cassie 7 frame d3 Kung Laos is 8 but double negative than cassies at minus 6
Well I guess tym doesn't really know what's up. Because calling Lao a defensive character just because he has a good reversal is damn silly. Laos game plan is to get in, and then get further in.
Actually one of the things that does make Lao great is his defence. You can't jump on him and he has great ground control too.
Yeah he's got some decent defense, but the thread title is asking who the most defensive character in mkx is. Laos game plan never includes playing defense(ideally). I'd say a character like kenshi or cyber kano with worse defensive options are more defensive characters.
Her d3 is 0 on block!!!??????? And oops yeh I meant s2 6 frames . But again D3 neutral on block!!!??? For real?
Not most, best. Just because Lao's best tool is his pressure, doesn't mean his defensive options aren't better than that of "defensive" characters.
Its tym man, just saying random stuff without even thinkingI'm surprised people are choosing Kung Lao over cassie cage, what does he have better than her in the defensive, once the opponent is on you and pressuring?she has a 6 frame reversal , Kung Lao has 7 , cassies in ex is safe and kls isn't , cassie has a 6 frame s2 and Kung Lao has an 8 Frame s1, Cassie 7 frame d3 Kung Laos is 8 but double negative than cassies at minus 6
lol yea its crazy how people complain about lao so much that they feel the need to bring him up in every topic regardless of what it is.
