CitizenSnips
A seldom used crab named Lucky. AKA Citizen Snips.
I just can't for the life of me beat super aggressive ones. Losing back to back to this player named Upclose Kill I just can't figure out wtf I am supposed to do.
The guy does not spin unless I jump-in. When I am grounded he low hats. When I do acid spit or forceball he divekicks or teleports. If I jump it's gameover. I really need some people's advice on how to beat Kung Lao. It's like I have to play perfectly, and read EVERYTHING correctly and hope that I don't slip up. Now I realize that's the point of fighting games, but it seems like against Kung Lao I am just at the mercy of the opponent and the only way I can win is if I correctly guess EVERYTHING and make no mistake. I can't even get an offense going. There are times I can kind of zone him but again it has to go perfectly and the Kung Lao player has to mess up for it to even happen. Let's not forget his pressure strings which aren't too hard to block but the only escape is elbow dash, and that's assuming he doesn't mix in a throw.
Is there some strategy you guys use to beat this guy, or am I just supposed to hope I block a divekick or spin? I'm not talking about Kung Lao noobs who just spin whenever randomly, I'm talking about people who know to spin only when it will connect, so punishing the spin isn't even a strategy. It just seems so difficult when he is all over the god damn screen and it's especially annoying how wakeup attacks are non existent against Kung Lao because of low hat. I read THTB thinks it's 5-5 or maybe even 6-4 Reptile. I'm just not seeing how that's possible, unless there is some key thing I am missing in the matchup.
PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ADVICE THE SALT IS COURSING THROUGH MY VEINS
