General/Other - Liu Kang (Old) Liu Kang Pre-Release General Discussion Thread

[Squeaker101]

Like I said, I don't want him being super easy mode. I'm OK with him being a beginner character but I don't want his BnBs to be comprised of one string again or anything like that.

Bruh. b312 was 50% of MK9

 

[KleenexGhost]

where's the burn scars, he looks kinda bland in normal costume, he's not as detailed as kung lao,,
maybe just maybe, he needs a beard)

No! Liu doesn't need one. He doesn't need to be down with Beard Gang.

 

[GrandMasterson]

Can't believe so many hatin on Liu Kang

Yall bustas

 

[Pterodactyl]

This is either his throw or hopefully something similar to Catwoman's trait like I predicted in my varistion ideas thread.

Wowowowowow that would be fucking awesome.

I know some people don't like re-appropriation of moves, but Injustice had a lot of mechanics that I feel would work better in MK.

 

[Pterodactyl]

I do not like that he's wearing a shirt in all three of his costumes.

They even gave Johnny and Jax shirts.

Why does NRS hate shirtlessness so much? I bet they tried to put a shirt on Goro too, but they realized you can't contain a body like that in plain garb.

Bruce Lee characters aren't suppose to wear shirts yo.

He'll still have his klassic alt.

Beard is love, beard is life, the beard gang needs liu

Eh, i'd rather an updated shirtless look.

 

[Youphemism]

Welp, turns out the guy in the challenge tower with the red headband was him.

Don't forget that we are getting classic DLC skins for some of the classic fighters like Louis Kang and Quantum Chi so don't worry bro it will get better.

The article has a story mode trailer that shows Liu Kang. Didn't see it linked in this thread.

Badass design! i cant wait to see his varitations. I like his rapid punch move

 

[DarksydeDash]

I agree

BICYCLE PUNCH

 

[EdFig81]

@9.95 who do you know at nrs.

they ask your questions on stream two times or more and this is the 2nd mk I know of when liu Kang doesnt scream during his bicycle kick .

I know u hate his screams but dam man what did u do heh.

Actually happy he doesn't scream anymore as much as he use to especially when doing that kick but i had to ask. :

 

[KleenexGhost]

I wasn't expecting a light/dark style that we're getting with Dualist, but it makes sense considering Liu's character this time around.

 

[Slick Tony]

His Flame Fist Variation might be the best rushdown variation in the game. And did you see the chip? I... am going to have a large amount of fun with him.

 

[Montanx]

Loving the bycycle punch, I always hated the stupid kick. Also liked the flame fist variation even if its kind of like johnnys. Also his Xray is my fav of the ones weve seen for sure.

The funny thing is, that was the least ridiculous Xray they have shown and that makes it my favorite as well.

 

[KleenexGhost]

It's that it's not so crazy or over the top that makes it cool.

 

[Kitana Prime]

Can't wait to see the technicality of great Lewd Khangs.

Looks super rewarding for patient/honest players

 

[DarksydeDash]

Im disappointed that none of my ideas made it over but I gotta say Im interested in his fire Variation.

 

[SaltShaker]

5 frame normal to punish into combos, fastest move in the game.

 

[Spinky]

There was a render of Ru Keng in the stream, right? Could've sworn I saw one.

Need it for dem variation banners.

 

[trufenix]

it seems like all the variations have a story explanation, i'm curious how they're gonna explain Liu harnessing light and darkness.
