Realistically speaking, lao can fight cyrax as well and DJT/Maxter have said this, lao players just have to change their play style. It is 6 4, so lao is always able to compete. I ain't going to lie tho, DJT and Maxter play vs lao so well, it looks like 8 2 #YEEEAAAPP

I also think it's 4-6 (I don't think a character with Kung Lao's tools could have a 3-7), but it's his hardest match-up IMO. Lao can definitely not be as mobile and take as many risks in this match-up, and has to be more patient, but the problem with trying to stay away and throw hats is the risk of trading with net. Realistically, a good Cyrax who knows his spacing will not let you stay full screen throwing hats for too long, and you're not going to beat a top Cyrax by laming him out with low hats, so you have to get it at some point.

But I agree that views on the match can be skewed because Lao can't dive kick or tele. Well, neither can most of the cast since they have neither a dive kick or a teleport, so they just play the spacing game, dash in and out, etc... There's no reason why Kung Lao shouldn't do the same, so I agree with you there. But still, we're talking about a match-up that takes away Kung Lao's main tools, and any mistake means death.

true, that is why cyrax wins. PL should still just go lao anyways tho, forever king as well vs rax players. Lao is their best character and they are capable of overcoming the matchup. Also every matchup vs rax, u make a mistake and GGs unless u got meter :p

Seriously though, I noticed DJT never did breaker traps or unbreakables in tournament play. Any specific reason or is it just a coincidence? Maybe he's got a moral code, like all Cyrax players :DOGE

















Never mind he babied a blind guy on stream lol.

I didn't sign up. They are lucky because I would have won. I kept asking everybody when MK9 signups were, but everyone kept saying "i don't know". I think they were just saying that because they knew I would have won because they didn't want me to enter. I would have bodied @CD jr for real tho
